Klunkerz: Mountain Bike History

[putridpanchos]

Respect to those mtb pioneers. Fortunately I lived that experience in Marin County and Portolla valley, another vintage mtb area i rarley hear of in 88, 89.

Some years later, but still "vintage mtb".

[seanjones1827]

Those rigs and no Lids for their heads. Brave? Crazy? Awesome!!

[dupahole]

They were pretty hardcore back then, all riding ridged single speeds =P

[GrantRules174]

i live in marin, not much places to ride anymore

[andreiwittich]

Downhill IS the purest form of mountain biking. Period.

[durgAUMurge]

no need for exclusivity. it's an aspect. a cool one. but plenty of folks who MTB don't do DH.

Shame what's happened to the MTB scene in Marin.

does anyone know where i can get a torrent or a download of this whole film?? i super wanna watch it!

[sjordan72]

Greencross. Bill would probably appreciate that you buy the film, not download it. This is made on his own dime. He's not getting rich on this film.

I made a short tribute film to the late John Finley Scott for his induction into the MTB Hall of Fame at InterBike. I will post it here shortly.

[kenmcginn]

The late Prof. J.F. Scott's induction into the MTB Hall of Fame on Sept. 24th during InterBike. Professor Scott, or 'Finley' to his friends, was a fascinating man and a tireless advocate of all things cycling.

Prof. Scott was also the first investor in the first mountain bike company in the world, cleverly called MountainBikes. I hope to see you at The Sands Expo Center, Casnova Room 503, at 6:00 pm.Sept. 24th 2008
