  • The Vouilloz era was an age when the pace of learning both for the racer and the bike was relentless. Downhill is greatly indebted to the knowledge he imparted to the sport, for the manner in which he applied himself and the mystique he created. Nico was a phenomenon who leaves those who witnessed his reign in awe.

    The Alien: one of my favorite riders, even though is not a rider of my era as it were. Note to dirt Mag: it might have been much better for Nico if you had allowed him to respond in French, and subtitled his responses which I believe were limited due to the difficulty speaking english.

    The true best ever downhill racer, galaxies aways from any other until today. Any, no matter what current sponsors, payed media or red bull may say. Vouilloz+olivier bossard are the true dh legends, from the times when dh was formula 1. all those suckers gettign drunk were not gonna beat him. Ahead of his time in that too. No one gets drunk now if they wanna get close to any podium.

    Great interview with Nico he's not just an amazing racer but also a cool guy. But next time please use one more microphone because the questions coming from the background was very distracting.

    Wow. There were so many opportunities to ask post career questions that got left out. During his career, he made specific statements about tracks suiting him, not suiting him, etc. Places like Grouse where he said he had trained for longer, fitness based tracks but would would need to change his training to focus more on power. Then the time he lost Worlds to Rockwell and had made the statement that on thenopen sections, he was thinking of how bigger riders were beating him. Would love to hear his thoughts on that loss as it was due to a mechanical. Would also like someone to ask him what kind of secret advantages he felt he and his team had at the time other riders didn't know about. Man...these interviews are all so basic.

    Maintenant il ne serait même pas inscrit en finale de ch de DH c'est un peu pretencieux de dire cela , mais dans les années 90debut 2000 c était le vélo qui fesait 80% de la descente il y avait très peu de pratiquant de DH . après temps mieux pour ceux qui on pu profiter de cela .il y avait des prototypes et les autres .
