BMX must have figured into all this, too. While the adults were modifying their bigger bikes to take off-road, kids were taking their smaller Schwinn Stingrays and converting them for the dirt. It was maybe more to pretend you had a motorcycle dirt bike, but the innovation to go off road was still there.

I was -mountain biking- in the 60's on coal slag heaps and pennine tracks in Lancashire in the 60's. The original bikes of over 100 years ago where -mountain- bikes because few roads where paved.
The idea that mountain biking began in the states is a myth.

when I was a kid I had a Huffy version or maybe it was Schwinn, don't remember, but anyway, my little -pink machine- could jump and skid with the best of them even when my dad ran over the back wheel with the car.

I remember in 1977 while into my BMX Mongoose with Oakley B1B grips hearing about these larger bike being used off road and thought that's insane. Seems like the 70's was the start for many great activities.

Just like skateboarding in the early gritty days seem just cooler, than the refinements of to the present days of corporate sterilization. So goes most action sports?

The genesis of our sport. I still use my 1990 stumpjumper and 1989 Kona firemountain regularly. I even took a 91 fire mountain to Taiwan with me. Steel is real!

Meanwhile Gary Fisher says that it was him that started mountain biking when he goes on marketing tours for Trek. Doesn-t mention the others.
