:idea: Hi not sure what forum is best for this question but will try my luck with VRC.

You know those dudes that used to (still do?) go to mtb races, take photo's of every competitor, then sell copies for $10 ea or whatever?
Can anyone remember & suggest someone that might have been doing it at the 94 worlds in Vail?
Absolutely desperate for any pics of #504 in the jnr XC....
Hoping someone out there has a cd (floppy disk??) archived somewhere??
Slim (Fat?) chance but am desperate so worth asking.
Will pay $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for a pic.
Surely someone out there knows!!
Thanks

I was there with my video camera and still have some great footage on VHS. Most of it was from the DH course but I will take a look to see if I got any of the juniors race.

awesome - thanks for that!
yeah really thought someone might know someone that has been in the business of taking mtb photos and might be able to help me.
I am a guy that doesn't throw anything out so kinda hoped a photographer might archive that kinda stuff (like i would...)

I was there...but was riding, not photoing. So I guess I'm no help.

was there too, but no pics. (I hated film cameras and their batteries and constant need to go to the store for a final product that 50% of was garbage. Digital makes photos a dif sport altogether.)

that was the year Cadel Evans and Miguel Martinez battled it out in the junior class. Both went on to pretty big careers in cycling. Seems like there was one more future star battling too but a bit farther back. Can't think of who it was...

Yeah filletbrazed I am with you on pre digital cameras.
I've plenty of good memories from back in the day but not much hard evidence!. Am trying to chase a photo to show my kids

Seamus McGrath raced jnr's that year and i think he is now racing world cups??
