Edited Date/Time:
Before carbon v10's and before orange 22- bikes, Steve Peat rode a GT DHi and killed on it. I think he had a plastic Lobo too? Anyways, this was also before the skinsuit backlash and he could sometimes be seen in a GT skinsuit too.
Many things change but some stay the same. Peat killed it then as he does now and with his own distinctive style.
