Relive the Bainbridge nostalgia by watching the IGSA Bainbridge Grand Prix 2001 music video! Witness the classic lugers braking real hard to avoid slipping at Turn 2 on a wet road, with Rusty Riley sliding out into the hay! Watch in awe as Bob Swartz takes the bottom chicane in what appears to be brakeless! Hold your breath for the street luge finals as Tom Mason holds off Rusty Riley and John Fryer at the finish line, with Andy Lally trailing closely not far behind!

In preparation for this event, THP has produced another music video, highlighting the IGSA Bainbridge Grand Prix 2001. Although this video may seem to be outdated, what with the event being over 3 years ago, captured on VHS-C (not even Mini-DV!), with less than amateurish videocamera handling skills by young teenaged spectators (but hey, without them, this video would not have been possible!), its significance is largely symbolized by the fact that the event was Abdil "Furlong" Mahdzan's first race ever attended. This race marks the turning point of Team Hardcore Pavement since its founding days in 1998 from a recreational team to a racing team. It was this event that made the team founder realize that street luge racing was the ultimate thrill.

 

This is not to say that THP will forget its recreational roots. Everyone has to start from that level. It is just up to the individual just how far he or she wants to progress in the sport. With street luge racing being the team's current focus, the lifelong goal of promoting street luge in Malaysia is just another step away. It is with great hope that THP will transcend even further, by organizing more freeride sessions with the objective of getting more Malaysians seriously involved in gravity sports, and hopefully, to run its first official event in Malaysia.
