#Forgotten Friday: Cap d'Ail World Cup
This week #Forgotten Friday teleports you back to the early nineties and some bone shaking World Cup DH action at Cap d’Ail in the South of France.
Hardtails, skin suits, v-brakes, high seat posts and narrow bars…but still hauling!
Complete with marvellous views of the Mediterranean coats line! Rob Warner uploaded this edit and thinks it’s circa 1994. Nico Vouilloz has been winning forever.
1993 Cap d’Ail with Frankie Goes To Hollywood soundtrack and Bruno asking the questions.
1995 Cap d’Ail
I remember those pink tubes, and the holes in them.
Look at ET Vouilloz with his Shoei Edge TL Comp. the forefather of the TLD A1…
flat Air B’s, broken Tioga disks, canti’s with braces, unmoving suspension…glad things have come on a bit! However, Germans in body armour and lycra…some things never change!
Note to all aspiring film makers… more Frankie..!
That is a quality edit,,,some mad fashion on show.. Looks more 80′s than 90′s..
Those guys rule man.vouliouz is an artist pure legend
Goota love the 1st vid where the commentator’s going on about the view and there are some topless girls sunbathing just as he say’s it. Epic, need more of that on tv.
I have all the Grundig world cups on video somewhere I must dig them out so many memories!!
Get them uploaded to the internetz Paul!
Top one is defo 94, Nico’s last year as junior world champ.
