Some of them have suspension forks but they have like no travel, and i think the first guy is running a rigid. They don't go nearly as fast as they do nowaday.

technology has skyrocketed over the years and just as we think were reaching the limit for downhill bikes, it just keeps getting better and more complex

you were lucky to have suspension back then, but it wouldn't work very well anyway. they were basically racing $500 XC bikes by today's standards down a muddy gravel road. before 200mm forks, 2.7 mud tires, and heavy duty frames. skin tight clothing is for aerodynamics.

if you watch other videos from this time they go faster, its just that it was raining buckets here.
