Joost the Boost Wichmann, Nico Vink, Rick Koekoek and Martijn Jaspers throw on some real spikes and shred the Red Bull Crashed Ice course on their bikes. The riders were only a fraction slower than the skaters, and this side-event may be developed further. Looks fun!

In 1999, Taylor Congdon released a mountain bike race movie that captured the raw speed, talent and chaos of the UCI World Cup. Trans Continental Headliners 2 opens up with a montage of gripping action and rolls right into the mudfest that was World Cup in Les Gets, 1999. Aaron Gwin, these are for you!

sspomer added a new video Headliners: 1998 UCI World Cup, Snoqualmie Pass 1/31/2012 8:10 PM
C138x104

The year was 1998, the downhill bikes were coming into their own and downhill racers were fearless. Taylor Congdon, maker of Headliners has allowed us to post sections of his Headliners videos, so let's start with the infamous, Snoqualmie Pass, Washington World Cup.

A look into the archives shows that Steve Peat won the downhill race by 2.9 seconds over Nicolas Vouilloz and Anne-Caroline Chausson DOMINATED the women by almost 28 seconds. Wow! Katrina Miller and Brian Lopes won the Dual race that weekend.

You'll see some interesting bikes in there like Cannondale's Fulcrum, Bianchi and Trek prototype DH frames, Storm H2s, GT Lobos and Rotecs. The rider list is just as interesting with shredders like Sharples, Shaums, Ronning, Myles and more. Enjoy this trip back in time before internet discussions about head angles and tire compounds.
