Outrigger Hotels Hawaiin Mountain Tour 98

Here the downhillers are catching their truck ride up to the starting point. When the truck was unloaded, the Cannondale team ($$) had guys there to push their bikes the rest of the way up the hill. They had a mechanic there too. The other racers had to push their own bikes up the remainder of the hill.

Marla Streb ready to race.

Missy Giove and Leigh Donovan just before their run. The woman downhillers seemed to be much more relaxed and animated. The men were introspective and quiet.

In the starting gate.

Here's Mike King underway in the men's downhill.

Toby ready in the downhill dual.

Blue lane ready. Red lane ready.....
