If my memory is correct, Pezzo had a pink Gary Fisher at Sydney, part of the reason I got a fisher in 03

I remember being up at one of the Mammoth events & shooting the ******** with John Parker & a handfull of other "bigdogs" of the era...So Misty walks up and starts talking to us then sayz "oh I gotta pee". She then pulls down her cycling shorts, squats down...And starts to drain...While continueing to chat with us! I was on the fence wheather I was going to continue sponsoring Yeti...And that pretty much made up my decision for me. I heard that some of Johns other sponsors pulled out after Mistys little show too.

Sadly, I think Misty ushered in a whole era of racers that presented such a bad example for the sport of cycling that it ultimately damaged the industry.

Being "on the front lines" of the Mt. bike boom sure was a gas up until then though. REALLY GREAT TIMES!

Missy was really the only weirdy of that era. There were lots of really neat personalities leading up to the mid 90s and beyond, but Missy was a bit of a stand out. If anything, the DH thing as a whole kind of lost favor and was only reborn with the advent of the freeride bike, dual and four cross. It's still pretty fringe.
