Ridemonkey Comrades,

I started collecting Mountain Bike Videos back in the early 90’s. The first video to my knowledge was ‘Hans “No Way” Ray.’ It’s been nearly 20 years and I recognize that I have amassed a significant piece of Mountain Biking history. I hope that someday the collection might be donated to the MBHOF or a similar worthy entity so it can serve the entire mountain bike community and preserve our history.

At this time, I am attempting to locate some early titles. I am reaching out with the hope that many of you have these titles collecting dust on your shelf and might be willing to add it to the collection.

I convert VHS tapes to digital and store the original before the tape degrades. Some titles may have actually been available on DVD.

Here is a list of titles that I know are missing:

Masters of Reality
Keep it Real (not Jeff Lenosky)
Braggin’ Rights
Headliners 1
Shift
Mud Cows 1,2
Biker Fox
Chainsmoke 1
Torque 1-3
Front 1, 2
Ride Like A Pro
Soil Samples
East of the Gate
Changing of the Guard
Evolution (not Reed Merchat)
Vast? Or Vituous?
Second Coming
Clict 1
Topsoil 1
Children of the Dirt
Superheros 1, 2
The Circus
Big Ride
Local Yokels

Please PM me if you have any of these titles.

Out of respect for copyrights, (even though many of the production entities are long gone), I am seeking only original copies and will not make or distribute copies. Your original would have to be a permanent donation to Mountain Biking history.

Thanks in advance for your time.

I was trying to find the "Where is the love" crash/ride vid someone on RM put together back in like '06? I would buy someone a beer if they could post it up. That vid was hilarious.
