Cully was one of the smoothest riders back then. Super talented and style for miles. I will never forget his monster hissy fit when he missed his start time at the Big Bear WC in '95. It was pretty funny.
I don't think it is even about the quality of the product or the premium price. They are a tiny niche brand in a tiny niche sport. A small blip on the action sport radar and not even a blip on the mainstream fashion radar market share wise and they wanted to do stand alone stores? Without a...
So a consulting company waltzes in and says to a small niche MTB clothing company that going "big time" in the retail world on their own with multiple stand alone retail stores is a solid business move....I think the only question is how you throw them out of your office on their ass while...
Smooth has hell, but a bit of a douche if you weren't in his clique....I loved watching him in the dual slalom and "duel" races though. I still remember his little tantrum when he missed his start time at the Big Bear DH WC back in the day. That was classic LOL. But hey, the dude was a game...
LOL. I was thinking the same thing about that race. I have never seen a good shot of "The Jump" and have never seen it caught on any video footage as well. There was actually a decent transition for the jump though.
Cully was so smooth...bit of a douche...but rad non the less. Only guy at the...
Peaty for sure. Jurgen Beneke is still pretty damn fast when he races. Christian Taillefer is another old skooler who can still throw it down in Elite as well.
Palmer also started the food fight in Ste Anne and one of those guys rode a wheel chair down the hill into the pool, then shoved security into the pool if I remember correctly. I think the UCI even fined him?
We were out jumping at Ste Anne at one of the WC at the back of the parking lot and Shaums sheared his seatpost off and gashed his chest pretty good. Dude kept riding. He was bad ass back then and is still one of the nicest guys around.
If you make it up and need a place to stay, I have a Chalet booked from the 2nd to the 6th you can stay at (can't guarantee a bed, but the place is big). We can help you out with bringing things to the top of the hill etc as well. Cost you a cutting board though :P
I hated it when she (with Cedric, Gachet, Pascal and Nico) would rip past me in practice sessions....haha
Hopefully she will do a WC or two. Would be cool to see a Booty vs ACC showdown again (with an Atherton in the mix too)!
