In the last couple of pages there is a Glacier speed record bike and what look like 2 Mammouth mountain Kamikaze run DH bikes. A cult race back in the day, nothing like modern DH races and riders could hit 50-60mph so silly big chain rings where common to get the speed up, factor in shady brakes, suspension that had a nasty habit of letting go and some lax rules on safety equipment for racers.
Pre health and safety days of racing :)
