Baily's Bailout

Grundig/UCI World Cup, Vail, CO. 1993

Jimi Killen leading and "Bailing-out." Better safe than sorry when you are leading the fastest riders on the planet. This drop in 1993 was about 4 feet straight down a rock face with only one line. Though you can't see it in the picture you can bet it is super-technical if Mr. Killen is running it. He is normally the one who would jump the whole thing just to make the crowd cheer. Leading the race was enough to make the crowd roar on this day. He eventually faded to a respectable 8th place finish.
