The earliest mountain bikes were “clunkers,” repurposed Schwinn cruisers with wide tires and makeshift gears. Riders like Gary Fisher, Joe Breeze and Charlie Kelly took these creations to Marin County’s trails, where the legendary Repack downhill race was born. Named for the smoke-filled hubs that required repacking with grease after each run, Repack became a proving ground for both riders and bikes.
This is a magical documentary and a perfect Sunday movie.

Recycled “Klunkerz”
footage with a slight twist focusing on a woman but still mostly interview the same 5 men about it. I fell asleep during the film.
I rode repack for the first time about a month ago. It was super intense, especially since it was only my third MTB ride
I just had Camera Corner recommended to me at a NYE party, but haven’t had the chance to watch it yet.
