Klunkerz is a fast-moving documentary that traces the global rise of mountain biking from it's Marin County roots, a gonzo sport long favored by fearless iconoclasts.

An outgrowth of the Bay Area's late-'60s early-'70s hippy counterculture, mountain biking got its start right in MVFF's backyard.

Long before the mountain bike entered our global consciousness, the cycling enthusiasts of Northern California's Marin County rode modified pre-WWII bicycles down the slopes of Mount Tamalpais.

They developed their bikes through rigorous field-testing, often risking life and limb to do so.

Some of these cyclists were Category-1 road racers looking for a new way to train during the off-season.

Others were simply fun-loving hippies looking for a new way to commune with nature.

Their early bikes were scavenged from dumpsters and junkyards.

It was from these humble beginnings that a multi-billion dollar industry, a form of recreation for the masses, and an Olympic event, were born.
