1991 Bell Mountain Bike Nationals

I was just going through my sticker collection to look for something odd to stick on my BMX frame and I found these massive stickers.

I’m pretty sure I still have my number somewhere, and my childhood friend Eugene Kee might have pictures and perhaps even a results sheet. I’m trying to contact him through Facebook at the moment. Should be fun!

I’m wondering if there are still trails to be ridden there. I remembered it as being a pretty damn hardcore downhill (DH) course. I loved it. Even though I loved DH back then I went pretty shit and did a lot better in the uphill race. I came 13th (I overtook 3 people walking my Cannondale on my shoulder up a technical section lol).

I also remember a guy stopping me when I was scouting the downhill track and ask if I was the pro Japanese rider. LOL. I blame that on the Cannondale I had at the time which I built frame up using money I made from working the night shift at Woolies.

Ah the memories. I’m off to eBay to go hunt down some vintage 91 Deore XT thumbies now :)
