 Honda's downhill racer Automotive Design & Production - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Built specifically for the high-adrenaline sport of downhill (DH to those in the know), mountain bike racing, in which riders hurtle down snowless fl diamond-level ski slopes at ridiculous speeds, the bike features an honest-to-goodness transmission in place of the usual gears and derailleur setup.
The guts of the transmission are a closely held secret.
What is known for sure is that the transmission allows Honda's Team G Cross racers to switch gears in mid-air during jumps without the need to pedal, allowing them to maintain better balance.

 Downhill racer
INGAPORE Telecommunications' youthful boss, Lee Hsien Yang, took some time out from stewarding his struggling company, which owns Australia's Optus network, to catch some air at Canada's chi-chi Whistler ski resort over Christmas.
SingTel Optus shares have raced downhill since Lee bought Optus for $14bn in 2001, and while he was enjoying the snow, the stock touched record lows of $1.19, a long way from the near $3 when Lee waved SingTel paper and promises at Optus shareholders in May 2001.
Getting Australians on the SingTel register was a cunning Sing Inc plan to answer critics that the Singapore government owns too much of its economy: 65% of SingTel at last count.

Above all, Saudek was a cultural impresario and producer, who understood the harsh and unforgiving demands of live broadcasting.
Michael Ritchie, Saudek's assistant who went on to direct films such as Downhill Racer and The Candidate, put it this way: "Television is a producer's medium, and nobody exemplifies that more than Bob Saudek.
