How mountain biking was born


I'd heard bits and pieces of this story over the years.  I even met a bunch of the early hill bombers from Marin county at an early mountain bike race in 1988.  Here's a fairly short video that gives  a really good summary of how today's mountain bikes, even the $6,700 one we just got here in the shop (really!  $6,700!!), came to be.  Like every other action sport, a handful of people getting a little crazy and having fun eventually turned into a worldwide sport, competition circuit, and full blown industry, even though that wasn't the original intention. 

You want that $ 6,700 mountain bike?  IOr maybe one much more in an average rider's price range?  We have a great selection here in the actual shop, in Lancaster, CA (45 minutes north of L.A.).  If you're looking for BMX bikes, we've got the online store...
