Think of all-mountain riding as trail riding on steroids
As quickly as the mountain bike arrived, so did the issue of trail access. By 1987, bikes were getting the boot from public lands. That year, we took part in a round table of advocacy groups, and within six months, the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) was born. In short order, we became trail access evangelists. We sponsored the first industry-wide meeting on the subject, and some of our employees went to sit on IMBA’s board. Without trail advocates, there’d be no trails to protect. It’s as simple as that.
