That’s why the guys that were good at XC and even road bikers did well. Also, no suspension, no discs. It was a totally different ball game.

I would've liked to see a clip from 2001-2002. '99-'05 was a huge gap to jump as a lot happened in DH during that time. Huge evolution in bike design.

Seeing the difference was incredible. It's making me wonder how today's courses compare to what was being ridden in the early-mid 2000s. I am willing to bet that the gap is smaller than that between the 1990s and the 2000s, considering the sport of DH has matured + DH bikes were more or less perfected by some point between 2004 and 2009 (tire size aside). The content of the video seems to support that notion.
Man the memories came flooding in from the days I raced as a pro in the Norba & uci world cups . Mt Saint-Anne & around the globe seeing tomac in the early days of downhilling & Miles Rockwell . Should show some of Missy Giove & some of the women who pioneered the women’s downhill .

Early 1990s when I was a teenager I remember Downhill MTB races had uphills :) I remember the bikes back then were so futuristic but as someone below says, they look like they were from Walmart today. Crazy how long the races were too vs. Today, over 6 minutes vs. 3 to 4 mins now. Lastly, Steve Peat is mega old and racing forever before being team manager guy for the Syndicate.
:( was fully expecting Dannys 2011 run. that was some of the most aggressive and skilled MTB riding of all time.

That was cool and all the wining rides are unique!!!!
I remember watching Tomac back in the day on his Raleigh and me and my mates would go out at the weekends to make or own downhill trails. Mostly relatively smooth flowy stuff and finished off with a fast fire road to the end of the hill. It was so fucking "extreme" on a hard tail with a rigid fork and cantilever brakes, we were right on the limit of what the bikes could handle and it was the time of my life. I've been to Andorra on a modern machine and it is spectacular but that sense of life or death wasn't there 🤣🤣

In the 90's each year bikes took a quantum leap, you had to flip your bikes yearly. Early shocks were crap, I remember having to warrantee rock shoxs on a monthly basis. 30 years later and my current mtb trail bike is 10 years old. It looks about as dated as one year in the 90s.

@@maximilianoreyesa.1657 you also had to constantly be sanding your rims and brake pads to get those old cantis to somewhat work. It will be interesting to see how mountain bikes develop over the next 20 years. The big stuff seemingly has already happened suspension - that works, tubeless, brakes, shifting…. I have a feeling that aero (not that I want bikes to get harder to work on aero has made road bikes a pain in the a** to work on) is going to be one of the progressions as will more carbon. Time will tell.
Downhill was barely going down hill in the beginning! But thank you for laying the ground stones! You rule!
Think of what Tomac does on that bike for a second then we can appreciate a whole lot more. He was a great rider.
You have to give credit to the huge progression of early 90's DH to the late 90's runs like Steve Pete in the '99 clip. Night and day difference in only a few years time.
Wow, blast from the past, i remember when Tomac came onto the scene, he made mountain biking cool like surfing,
Great stuff. Couldn’t take 93-95. Looked like mild XC trails. Go Sam.
I think they need to go back to adding an uphill section 3/4 way through the race to get these guys a late race push, could make things a little interesting
2008 the disrespect is real 😂😂😂
First time watching this channel intro is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s crazy how downhill racing went from how fast can you go down a fire road to how far can you drop and how high can you jump. I was there in the early days, not pro, but bike technology and rider fearlessness has truly brought us to the very edge of what is physically possible.
Thanks for the vidéo !! 🤘👍👍
Cool video. I don’t think there was a huge difference from late 90s til late 2000s (obviously the early 90s with no suspension, was a huge difference). Mid to late 90s we finally started to figure out that everyone needed way more than 6-8” of travel. Some guys running 12-15”. The knarley courses back then would probably be considered “average” courses 10 years later, but they were out there. The Peat clip from 1998 wasn’t indicative of typical tracks and even riding style (he had to tip-toe down due to rain, plus he was so tall and lanky, it almost looks awkward, but down other courses he looked much better and fast AF!). Would have been sick to see some more old school, mid to late 90s pioneers when full suspension was really taking off. Guys like Eric Carter, Brian Lopes, mike king, Shawn Palmer and was super surprised to not see any Nicolas Vouilloz footage. I did some NORBA national DH events back then (not at pro level) and there was such a huge transition then with disc brakes, full suspension, open bath systems (marzocchi) coil over piggyback rear suspension systems (Noleen and Fox) as they got away from all the light weight air/oil crap back in those days. Coming from a MX background, always went for more suspension and hydraulic disc brakes.

Steve Peat with a tiny bike way too small, now he has a bike that fits. He rides a Santa Cruz V 10 now
Yep I remember those days and yes as the years went by we got faster and faster bikes got better and better and now we have a lot more places to ride I am 50 now and I still keep up with the best but I get a kick out of seeing the little ones start there stoke.
