Pro Rider Alpine

Whether or not you are a fan of mountain biking, there's something for everyone in this world of action, striking pilots, and more than adrenaline.

For those not familiar with all things mountain bike, here is a brief history. If you really want to go back and get to the nitty gritty of cycling, have to look at late 60's. It was then in San Francisco, where two men just got tired of the hectic life, caused in part by all traffic in the city. Gary Fisher (a bicycle rider banned from the traditional sport of bicycle racing because his hair was too long) and his partner, Carl Kelly, merged and moved to Marin County to be closer to nature and manage their lives in a swanky environment. It was there they discovered the final emotion bombardment by dirt roads by bicycle. I also met Joe Breeze and the "lemons" (also called 'Cruisers' Bombers 'o' old Schwinn 5 and 10 speed bicycles that had been heavily modified).

Fast Forward to the mid-70s, when Fisher, Kelly, Breeze, and another at the top, Tom Ritchey, is responsible for the organization and the increase of 3 races of a mile long made near Fairfax, California along the Camino Fire the waterfall. All riders will begin at various intervals in the course, hoping to achieve one thing: the opportunity to get their hands on a real 'Clunker "and" breaking the record of 2.9 miles on dirt track that had a drop of more than 1600 feet. "It was here that the Hell's Angels adopted motto:" Ride to live and live to ride ".

Although the participation of media and reputation increased over time due to the impossibility of adequately ensure the local event, 1984 saw his last race of this type.

Today, Gary Fisher is so passionate about mountain biking as it was the in the 60s. The self-confessed "moto-bum", Fisher sold his successful motorcycle manufacturing company so he could return to his first love: Racing, inspiring and innovative product designs for cycling.

From recreation to competition, there is something for everyone when it comes to mountain biking.
