Mountain Biking: Paul Mitchell Bikercross

First came cross country, mountain biking; then downhill mountain biking; then World Championships; then in 1996 mountain biking became an Olympic event; then in 1998 Bikercross became a new event. There rarely is a moment without lots of excitement in this popular sport, which becomes more and more popular each year. This classic program fittingly takes us to the Paul Mitchell Bikercross event, where mountain biking got its start, in the Gunnison River territory of Colorado. We immediately see how the bikers wear the necessary protective gear that this extreme sport demands. We view two-dozen challengers, typically 4 riders abreast per heat, which leads up to the semifinals then the finals; each race is filled with the thrills and spills one would expect in such an exciting competition. 2010DR/CL IJSCA 30 min.
