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.

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.

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

Toby ready in the downhill dual.

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