Video: Born From Junk | Outlaw Origins of Mountain Biking
It’s impossible to know in the moment if something big is happening. Every ride is a journey into the unknown. You didn’t know if your Frankenstein bike would survive the ride. But, you didn’t care. “Born From Junk” traces the outlaw roots of mountain biking back to its raw beginnings in Crested Butte, where a crew of unlikely pioneers in pursuit of wild times in the mountains blossomed into a global phenomenon.
