1988

This pic was taken in 1988 in Little Cottonwood Canyon.  My brother dropped me off at Snowbird and took pics as I rode down the canyon.  Shortly after he snapped this pic, he drifted over too close to me in the car and clipped my handle bar sending me into the gravel on the side of the road.  I managed to keep it upright but barely. 

Specialized Rock Hopper, fully rigid w/ toe clips.  This is how the addiction started....

This is also a rare pic of me with hair.

KK- those socks are almost leg warmers. If I pulled them up, they would go past my knees.

Dug- i'm flipping you off.

How many of us have riding roots on old rigid Rockhoppers/Stumpjumpers?
