TheRitz Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) .......1994......Here is the 15min segment that was on Old Mutual World of Endurance 19 years ago.... Edited August 9, 2013 by TheRitz Ovenboi 1
Azonic Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) An awesome era of MTBing. The Wonder Years as such. Sad though that most guys on these forums dont recognise half those names. Or, that TheRitz himself was a top 3 Junior XC/DH rider those years. When you used to race both disciplines on the same 2" front suspension bike. Edited August 9, 2013 by Azonic
SwissVan Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 .......1994...... LOL, the video does not show up until I quoted your 1994 post. Never did a XC race down there unfortunately

PS it now takes me about 50min to do the Orange Norm Hudlin lap Azonic 1
TheRitz Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 New 15min video added to first post SwissVan 1
stringbean Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Remember that like it was yesterday.Most of the guys are around,some will be on startline at masters worlds with me.Couple of names stand out Mathew was at a level way above everyone.Left us way to soon.Carl Hutchings,the original Camel man.Left to do Idatarod.That makes Epic look like a coffee shop ride.Thanks for the memories.

jugheaddave Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Fantastic!! I love some of the riding gear!!
Bicycle Supply Chain Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Man it brings back the good old days... still the best era of my riding career Mike Azonic 1
nigelhicks Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Awesome ... the year i started racing nationals as a young upstart in Sub-juniors! hahahaha We missed that round unfortunately though - was too expensive to go to all of them.
LazyTrailRider Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Sheesh, quite a few familiar faces. Gotta love the old-school Village kit, I gave away my set to someone only about a year ago! Carinus "sponsored" it to me in '97 I think it was
Shebeen Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 amazing - this stuff needs to go up on cyclingtorrents.nl
Hennie VR Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 .......1994......Here is the 15min segment that was on Old Mutual World of Endurance 19 years ago.... Looks like Mannie Heymans at 1:26
LanceB Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Has a circa South African Repack feel to it. Superb upload. Makes one feel guilty for complaining and wholly inadequate for not riding with greater skill considering the equipment we now have. Again: an outstanding upload by TheRitz...watching it has humbled me.
