We all got into this MTB thing somehow, and I'm sure there are some really interesting stories to tell. The legend goes that some guys in California literally started bombing down hill sides on modified bomber bikes in the late '70s. But that's up for debate as the Europeans will tell you.
Here in SA you will find some of the first guys who took up the challenge in the late ,80s and '90s, with some war stories of their own. They will tell about how they rode rigid bikes and debated the pros and cons of front suspension. Those were the days before tubeless, disc brakes and lockout.
What we ride continues to change, but why we ride? Well that hasn't changed much, its just a bunch of friends out having fun isn't it?
So what was it that got you to ride? Tell us and your friends at our Facebook poll and leave a comment if you want to explain.
