History

Patty Mooney[2] and Mark Schulze, an early user of the Helmet camera, learned about the sport of Mountain biking while in Canada in 1986. In 1987, the couple produced the mountain biking video, The Great Mountain Biking Video.[3][4][5] The video featured mountain-bike racing professionals Ned Overend, Martha Kennedy, John Tomac, Julia Ingersoll, Tinker Juarez, Trials rider, Kevin Norton and Olympian John Howard (cyclist) who instructed viewers on how to properly ride a mountain bike.

The video was favorably reviewed by Video Choice,[6] The Video Rating Guide for Libraries,[7] and Billboard Magazine. It was officially endorsed by the National Off-Road Bike Association, now a division of USA Cycling.
