Ok...i had a friend over one night and we were watching Downhill racing on OLN (outdoor life network). Next in the gate was Steve Peat. I noticed him wearing long black spandex type pants....He left the gate wearing his long spandex tight pants. He turned the first corner and the next camera picked him up.......BUT then i noticed he had shorts on....i turned to my friend and said what the heck....i thought he was JUST wearing spandex pants!! My friend said nah..........so i turned back to the tv and watched Steve Peat turn another corner. NOW WHAT IS GOING ON HERE, he now has on SPANDEX PANTS AGAIN!! It went on like that till he got to the bottom, and finished. He first had on spandex pants...then shorts....then spandex pants....then shorts, after every turn it changed. Theres no explanation for this...so i emailed OLN and asked them, They havent emailed me back for almost a month now..........did any of u guys see what i saw???? If u did please tell me! -Matt-

Are you SURE?

This sounds like something out of the twilight zone

Sounds like a case of poor editing. Either they were picking up 2 different riders, or they were splicing in another shot.

Maybe there was a rapid temperature change every few minutes...:p

Have you heard of the new Pearl Azumi shorts that automatically deploy leg warmers when the temperature drops bellow 55 degrees.

Maybe he had a Flo-Jo (remember her?) type outfit on. One leg with shorts and one leg tights. What style!
