[@davemanago7678]

HA so true!

[@downrodeo]

Hahahaha

[@reubencase6789]

His lack of words in that moment inspired him never to be at a loss for words again... Haha

[@wonderwatch2239]

7+ min run😳 that’s double the time, of the runs today🤘Warner the boss💪🏻

[@bd9531]

0:37 they really need to bring this sort of impeccable music back to the modern red bull coverage

[@BCRandom69]

Look. At. The. TIME!!!!!

[@Gazzaloddi-ml9ej]

Look at the sweet action of those Z1 Bombers. I had a set of those, they were a quantum leap ahead of anything else

[@Snuzzcumber]

How does Rob sit down with balls that big.

[@Ganiscol]

Mad lads on inadequate gear doing crazy stuff 🤩

[@P.Rodrigues77]

At that time the geometry of the bikes was all wrong, but they had great courage... no dropper, and sitting high, huge names at the tima Pete,Palmer...Warner...big times

[@bd9531]

"Rob Winner!"

[@stephengraham6194]

All hail the egg 🥚

[@Dolencd]

Rob! The gentle giant. This I will not forget. :D

[@Dann172]

He was eggstatic!

[@dunkwilsable]

Quality ride, and stuffed the real class riders!

[@Bianchiboy]

I remember seeing those bikes as a kid thinking they were the dogs b*ll*cks and wanting one so bad… small travel shocks and single crown suspension, triple chain ring, skinny bars, 26” wheels… haha these men had huge balls getting these down the side of mountains in 7-8 mins!!!

[@DownhillSnail]

They certainly did, bikes have changed, tracks have changed, but bike skills are bike skills and these riders had as much as anyone.

[@ianfurqueron5850]

I remember falling in love with the Straight 6/Lawwill DH-6. In 1998 I bought a Yeti DH-6. Still have it, although tough to ride these days.

[@Gazzaloddi-ml9ej]

Bikes were pretty good by 96, the geometry was just whack

[@BaldBloke]

i lost count how many times that saddle hit his arse ! 🤣

[@adcashmo]

A clap for Rob Warner please.
A CLAP!

[@BGraves]

Take a gander at that there clock

[@user-kb7ij6ye8u]

[@JaggersLips]

[@cinemasoldiers3314]

I was there!

[@edwardbentley3512]

Rob Warner won a world cup downhill? 😉

[@Coolcmsc]

🤣🤣🤣

[@nineofoto]

The highest paid professional mountian bike rider in Britian 2022... Who would have thought it.

[@1Bigmac69]

"im lost for words" LMFAO

[@sharonaharrington7389]

Them bikes

[@darnstein]

Dropper seatposts would be perfect for the 90s dowhill races..

[@Metal-Possum]

Fun fact, they did exist back then,, or maybe just a couple of years later and I'm not just talking about the Hite-Rite. Towaro Swiss had remote actuated dropper posts in the 90's. Good luck finding any information about them, they're total unicorn poo.

[@imarcus1973]

Nah, we had the skill to adjust the seat post while on the move ;)

[@MD-uu5nt]

@@imarcus1973 that's a skill that I don't feel I want....

[@imarcus1973]

@@MD-uu5nt it’s no more scary than doing a big dropoff on a no suspension mtb from the 90s 💪

[@MrWightHD]

All hail the Egg!

[@nickt471]

Is that hair part of his hat

[@lukapretegiani3348]

Look at the tiiime

[@Mcfc2Rich]

Was they running V-Brakes back then? Loool

[@DownhillSnail]

No most were disc at this point, some were still running HS33's but not meany, if you watch the MTV coverage of this race Rob shows the bike and talks about it th-cam.com/video/DNDzRBFtrCs/w-d-xo.html
