Not only DH'ers. Roadies and triathletes were doing mid foot clears at least as far back as 2006

Pinkbike Poll: Riser Bar or Extra Spacers Under the Stem?
Does Pink Bike purposefully set up badly worded surveys to get more comments and engagement?

Podcast: Lael Wilcox Aims to Circumnavigate the Planet in Just 110 Days
@everyone: Her time has since been beat for the AZTR800 (on the current much more difficult route). As well, her time is three days longer than the AZTR750 record.
Claiming records on the AZTR is pointless since the route keeps changing and getting harder each year, as the trail association keeps building new hiking trail to replace jeep track every year.
As well, the current records were set during Grand Depart/mass start races, where everyone is subject to the same weather and trail conditions, rather than cherry picking the best weather window.

Video: Big Jumps & Lots of Technical Sections - A First Look at the Brand New XC World Cup Course in Araxá
@LarryTheLoafer Yes, since the turn of the Century when BMX sections became more common
@R-M-R: What do you mean by old school XC? Going back to the start of world wide competition (Grundig), courses had lots of natural hiking trails with off-camber greasy or marbly janky corners, logs to hop, snarls of roots (like Araxa), creek beds etc. The most important skills required were observed trials type skills (trials or speed trials was often part of stage racing). A low power rider with above average trials and cornering skills could finish mid-pack in a World Cup, and if you had both power and skills (like Tomac) you could dominate. Now you need both power and skills to not get lapped and pulled in the first three laps.
