According to my estimates (likely on the lower side of the actual total), that was at least $2 million in bikes. I'd hit all of them.

Yes. It goes something like this: "We like to ride our bikes. Some money might be nice. #ohwell."

"There may be a couple good clips, but there's always the standout crash clip that is the most memorable visual of the commercial and that's why mountain biking is used. For crashes." If you look at a NASCAR promo, a sport which is heavily sponsored, you'll see a whole mess of crashes. That's how they attempt to gain interest in the sport to the casual fan. In the entirety of a 500 mile race, you might see one or two crashes. Promos are there to generate excitement; a promo is merely a snapshot. BTW, the girl who bites it in...

First, NOT going to complain about word count. Nice to read some thought out, articulate expression instead of a 250 word caption. Thank you. As for wants - better bikes for less money? How about maybe just the same bikes for less money? Bikes are pretty fancy nowadays, and besides wheel size and carbon, not changing a whole lot. I don't want more, I just want normal at a reasonable price. More trails would be nice, but there's many caveats in there... More races? No. Enduro and Urban DH has about sewn that up.

They are actually downhillers which, back then, also did XC, and Dual-slalom. Others even raced road, track, bmx and even rode trials. DH was insanely infantile and fringe back then. As kidwoo mentioned, Palmer essentially gave DH the wake-up-call it had been waiting for.
