KingCrimson Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Thought this would catch the interest of Rob Stevens and Phil. I'm cheap and a nancy-boy, so I've never done proper downhill, but this is just awesome! <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wJjZ34ZQl0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wJjZ34ZQl0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawndoggy Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 The kamakazie? Was a bit of a different animal than current downhill offerings... huge focus on top speed and I seem to recall seeing bikes set up with 60T rings. All on a hardtail with a Mag21!

KingCrimson Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 60 teeth?? Did they make them with a small enough BCD or did they have to use a roadie crankset? T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 that cat track at the start, that goes back around to 14 and stuff...launching off that cat track into the trees is a BLAST. That couloir under 14 is fun too when it's filled in. interesting seeing runs I've taken all dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
