I'm pretty sure this is from 2013. In 2012 they didn't have the wooden bridge (1:51) on the course in , and Sam hill was still on Specialized. I broke my hand on my 3rd practice run in 2012.
Gotta love flashbacks 👍🏻 Any chance to go back in time even further? Say, early 2000s or late 90's? The days of Nicolas Vouilloz, Eric Carter, Myles Rockwell, Missy Giovi...that'd be awesome
the position of shooting video in 2013 is better than now, the speed of the bicycle is more clearly seen as seen directly on the track, and the ferocity of rockgarden is also the malignancy of the obstacle course more clearly visible, we are like seeing directly near the track. Nowadays the camera is too far from the track so that the speed of the bicycle looks slow and the slope and steep trajectory does not look as real as the original.

Santa Cruz cycles hasn’t change anything about their downhill bike. It reminds me of Henry Ford when he made his first car for years Ford kept on making the same model and it was never updated until he passed away. So I think it’s time for Santa Cruz to update the frame design.
They were a bit shorter, yeah. Bikes have gotten longer wheelbases to accommodate for the larger wheel sizes, plus they feel more stable at speed that way. They have also gotten taller because of larger wheels. You might also notice the narrower handlebars in this video.

F! YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S 2013
Vital MTB if had I not been there I don’t think I would have noticed. 2013 feels like an eternity ago!
@@SkillsWithPhil doesn't it though? thanks for the heads up!
Damn, that sound is so raw, I just got salmonella.

0:53 WTFFFF IS this crash has a link with the hachtag #longlivechainsaw ?
steve smith rode for devinci he is the rider after the crash 0:55
@@ewm416 thx
Who crashed 0:53?
I've got to say some of those kits already look dated, but Stevie must have been ahead of the game because his kit just hasn't aged. #longlivechainsaw
I think this is 2013!
Guys, we gotta get a vital raw of the decade!

Dang those bikes are loud
OMG look at those little wheels! Lol! Just goes to show it’s the rider not the bike! That’s why I love my 29’er! Lol
29"er is LOL)))

26 actually looks crazy to me now
Mmmmmm, noooiceee!!!!
Como sonaba la cadena en esos años
And People still think 26er is slow
People don`t think too much. They just repeat information from marketologs)
What do the whistles mean in these videos? Is it an alert to other riders?

26" ers looks so cool! Very good proportion beetwen bike and rider. Modern 29" DH bikes looks horrible, especially if rider under 175 sm.......
Who cares what they look like, 27.5 and 29 are faster and nicer to ride (in my opinion the bigger wheels look better too but who cares)

When 26 ain't dead at that time.

Where bikes back them way shorter. Riders look on the bike more than in the bike if that makes sense.

Carnage.
Stevie is missing!!!

Lol those tiny wheels!
hard stuff :)
Compared to today’s bikes these older ones are noisy. Chainslapcity
Bikes were noicy back then...
26ers look so hard to ride now. Harsh. They are like bmx bikes.
all in your mind. 29 against 26 it`s just few second advantage at the end of 3-4 minute DH track. Nothing special.
Everyone had bad fitting clothes . And it’s only a few years ago ...... shocking
