I used to ride the rough stuff on my department store 10-speed when was a teen and I'm unsurprised to find that it was such a common thing worldwide.

Didn't know about Geoff (or maybe somehow I glossed over it all) but now another road to ride down, as they say. Love this quote from that link, regarding his clothing choice:<br /><i>"...you've got to look dignified and relaxed, even when you're riding through twelve inches of crud..."</i><br /><br />Check out this photo on flickr, esp. the comments where it basically becomes a bit of a Geoff love-fest and folks talk about his snubbing from the Mtn. Bike Hall of Fame...and Geoff Apps himself enters the conversation!<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/carltonreid/4321632293/adventure!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11840448827760637569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13762558.post-79230612740237100412012-11-19T11:16:55.819-08:002012-11-19T11:16:55.819-08:00Don't forget Geoff Apps, who must have influen...Don't forget Geoff Apps, who must have influenced your wardrobe at least a little (or a lot!). His style of biking is adventurous and extreme, but involves "walking" over the land at slow speeds in favor of high flying feats and fast descents.<br /><br />http://www.63xc.com/talljames/cleland.htm <br /><br />Much of the modern mountain biking you speak of can be traced to the daredevil Repack races in which racers were shuttled to the top of the mountain. Much of modern mountain biking has become focused on the descent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13762558.post-19883432767232368972012-11-19T06:06:53.839-08:002012-11-19T06:06:53.839-08:00Cool post and links,thank you :)
