1979 Downhill Race Video
This is the first video ever made concerning what would eventually be called "mountain biking." It aired on CBS in 1979. In it a hippie named Gary Fisher makes a bold prediction that the sport would go a long way.
If anyone knows how to embed here, do it in comments. Otherwise, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVWP6VaLtvw
