Before there was mountain biking as we know it today there was Klunking. Take some fat tires, a cruiser frame, and a go down a hill as fast as you can.. foot-out sliding is also a must. Check out both videos to see some old school and present day klunking, the former has a nice little interview with a young Gary Fisher around midway through. If you want to learn about the whole history of klunking check out the documentary Klunkerz.

Nice work on this one man. Those videos are rad.
sdbikecommuter follower? I posted the old klunking video right after sky posted the new one on the sdbikecommuter forum.
I’ve perused the forum before but not much of a follower, the newer video actually led me to the old one.
