    Searching through some photos I found a couple of old(ish) photos from the Malvern Classic, a UK
    race / fun weekend that sadly is now no longer. Thanks to bomba for hosting the pics you too can now
    admire the state-of-the-art downhill bike raced to victory by a certain infamous UK rider and world
    cup round winner j-harris.netrw3.jpg

    In those days they had to push back up to the top between runs (this was a dual descender knock-out
    type race) j-harris.netrw1.jpg

    And just to prove he actually rode this gleaming DH machine j-harris.netrw2.jpg

    Another famous (UK) rider laying down some style j-harris.netja1.jpg

    And finally, a pic of my Orange in all its purple pimpy glory.
    j-harris.netOrange1.jpg

    Theres no outer chainring on it because I used to practice trials on it...

    Cheers folks,

    Steve.

    I'd guess at around '95...

    Hey, I was about right - here are pics of Steve Peat racing in the same glorious skin suit in '95:

    (notice the switch from puny Marzocchi XC forks to boulder-gobbling RS Judy DH's 🙂
    stevepeat.comNats 95.jpg

    I always felt it was a pity that beer sponsors left the sport. Actually, wasn't it at the '95
    Malverns where the Coors truck got stolen and returned a few minutes later (empty)?

    Oh, and this is Spademan in a tie-dye Slayer T-shirt: j-harris.netse1.jpg

    Nice.
