- In 1976 a group of Crested Butte, Colorado locals, as a response to the Aspen locals invading town on their motorcycles after riding Pearl Pass, decided to answer with a ride of their own. Only this little ride was on Fat Tire Clunker Bikes. The "tour" got noticed by some west coast folks and grew over the years into a mountain bike tradition. This is a video of I think the 6th year. The Mountain Bike industry was still in its infancy so some of the bikes were still hand built from parts and pieces.....
A film by Dana Atchley et al - Komedie
Who is the narrator gal ? A true '70's babe !
Thank you for publishing this video
Man. These guys are legends. I wish there were guys like this where I live. My brother Joey and I want to move outside the city and do this
People always asking me, how can I ride a bike in jeans. Probably I'm clunker too.
Historic video of the beginning of MTB bikes, cool and amazing, and the bicycles of this time are very different to the bikes of today.
I don’t know about the brazed frame connections on the Experimental bike, but what a hero nonetheless. Not a helmet in sight, all badass hippie nerds
Went to the Butte for the fat tire festival in 1986, rode PP with a group that included Charley Kelly.
"You gotta disco up the mountain".. :D
Seen the whole KLUNKERS documentary.
It's easily THE best MTB doc ever made.
🇦🇺🇦🇺🤙🤙🤙🤙😁🙏
what is the name of the documentary?
@@DerbyRojo Its called Klunkers.
Yuuuuhuu !!! This video doesn't have any hater so farr 🤩 i gives such a good vibe, like livin' those times... true people... true feelingzzzz 🤩🤩🤩
I want Jane Carpenter to make my next bicycle!
I see no downhill wipeouts were filmed. I'm dubious that this is the whole story. Everyone that is showing an interest in riding bikes deserves the whole story.
Tranquilo young havince. No Clunkers were harmed during the filming of this news piece.
You must be a lot of fun at parties. 😉
Seriously though, they did used to show all of the major injuries for each competitor in the X-Games, but stopped years ago. In that context, where kids are compelled to try the stuff they see on TV, I think that was actually a good idea, as they have no clue what preceded these pros making it look so easy. This, however, is NOT the X-Games! Coordination and discretion will determine a riders survivability.
Man, this is soo awesome! Wish there was such even again
this makes me want to grow my hair and beard wear flanel shirts and ride an old bike to uni
That's my type of biking in times way back in the past,justcut off jeans,ball cap,wore what was confortable,no spandex padded shorts,or suspension,all out fun and just the basics and plenty of desire.
It's on September 11 this year. There is an event at the Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum from 4 - 6 Mountain on the 10th to kick it off.
Do they still do this "race" every year? I live near Crested Butte and I'm into mtn biking. I'm of the era of this video. I remember the very first commercial mtb's.
this is without a doubt the best sport in the world... it's not just about riding a bike, but a lifestyle I wanted to be part of a team like capitalist hippies in love with nature and dedicated to this wonderful sport.
Very cool!
There are a great many Aspen trees in California. She must not have ever been here.
Respect
suddenly i want some hagen-dazs ice cream
She was amazing.
Can't believe we let this country turn into mexico. I'm 25 I never saw this.
My jaw dropped when I saw her.
@@Whitejesselink

Battery bikes are a weak human's only chance of winning.
1:36 okay damn women use to be so hot in this country. What happened.

Is John Barnett part of this?
I raced MOTOCROSS before it became BMX in the 1970’s, also built and sold Bicycles, NEVER HEARD OF CLUNKERS!
Did they use to call bicycle racing motorcross?
@@Whitejesselink BMX literally means Bicycle Motor Cross
@@The_Invisible_Self of course. He says he raced _MOTOCROSS_ before it was called BMX.
Before it was called MOTORCROSS it was called scrambling. It's a motorcycle thing. Not bicycle, that's the confusion I'm having.
This is super interesting. Can someone please answer one question?. Why was the police onto the Klunkers?. The narrator of this video said "it was said that it was better away from the cops and concrete ". It don't seem like these riders were doing nothing illegal from what I can see. Well, either way, I'm very impressed with this video.
It’s because of the booze and the grass😂😂
Literally nobody wore a helmet in those days :D fck safety
And fck the police, concrete and cars. Wha-whaaaaaat!
They were hardly invented, back then they wore those Belgian leather strips, the ones you can see now at Eroica
Her reaction at 0:38 x,D she really doesnt know how to deal with this
Couldn't get a better thumbnail? Had to use Jeffery Dahmer...
