Repack was more like what is now called Gravity Mountain Bike Racing. Most of that is done on ski slopes with riders taking the ski lift to the top and then falling off the mountain while astride a bicycle. Angel Fire, NM has a Bike Park which uses the ski facilities for Gravity Mountain Bike Racing.Edhttp://www.edwardfrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4600429566875341122.post-37858363088768059822015-08-30T15:07:38.393-06:002015-08-30T15:07:38.393-06:00I have always believed that Marin County, CA, was ...I have always believed that Marin County, CA, was the birthplace of mountain biking.

Better equipment but the same mind set as those that modified heavy cruiser bicycles with better brakes and fat tires. The goal was Repack Races that involved freewheeling down mountains in Marin County, California in the mid-to-late 1970s. Edhttp://www.edwardfrey.comnoreply@blogger.com
