Gary Fisher on his way to becoming a legend of the industry.
These guys were so awesome. It wasn't just downhill riding on a beach cruiser, there were no mountain bikes back then, just these crazy assholes. Mountain biking was born right there.
We got a signed poster from Gary Fisher from this event in my shops bathroom. Legend
That wasn’t xbiking. That’s the birth of mountain biking.
Where to cop the “I’d rather be klunking” tee shirt?
If anyone wants to see the full documentary it's called Klunkerz, as u/grandmasterripper pointed out. I watched it on Kanopy.com, an educational streaming service that may be available to you for free through your local public library or university library (if you're a student). I don't know if Kanopy is available outside the US and offerings vary depending on the library's type of subscription. It's a fun film.
Damn, this was a lotta fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Pretty sure "xbiking" came before bikes became super specialized. And now we've come full circle.
