THE TRUE, COMPLETE, AND EXTRAORDINARY TALE OF THE INVENTION OF REPACK AND THE RISE OF MOUNTAIN BIKING ‚It’s a cool, clear morning in Northern California, but the five young men are sweating profusely as they push strangely modified bicycles up the steep hill. They are discussing the dirt road surface, which re ¬sembles a moonscape more than it does a road. ‚These young men belong to the same breed that skis down cliffs, jumps out of airplanes, or rides skate ¬boards down Everest. They have developed their own unique athletic challenge, a race which is known only to a few dozen locals and is referred to as ‚ËoeRepack.‘ The road they are on is the racecourse. ‚The sport that is going on here may never catch on with the American public, and its originators couldn’t care less. They are here to get off.‘ ?
