From Founding to Freeride, the evolution of MTB

From founding to free ride, the evolution of MTB gallery on ESPN.

To kick off a fairly cycling-centric week for me, on the eve of heading to Mammoth for Cam Zink’s world record 100ft MTB Monster Backflip attempt, I put on my editors hat and spent the last few days, with the help of many great friends in the cycling community, tracing the arc of MTB history from the early days of the Repack Downhill all the way to the modern Freeride movement though some of the sports most colorful and influential characters. Hope you enjoy!
