Klunking - Mountain Bike Racing - 1979 - Steve Fox

Thank you to the Marin Museum of Bicycling in Fairfax, California. It 2014 it was with their assistance that we were able to reconstruct this important piece of history: ------------ This segment, hosted by Steve Fox and showcasing the founders of mountain bike racing, comes from the Paul Colardo collection in the William French Archive. Paul was one of ’Evening’s’ cameramen and producers. Steve Kotton, cameraman on this shoot, had to testify in court over a lawsuit brought against KPIX by one of the riders. They claimed Steve was in the middle of the road on a turn, thus causing the rider to crash. The rider lost since video tape does not lie and Steve was on the side (you can see it in this segment). It is believed this segment was edited by Jim Farney. ------------ If you like our videos please subscribe and consider joining our Patreon: You can find us on Facebook at: ------------ Launched in 1976, the original ’Evening Magazine’ ran for 14 years and was co-hosted by distinguish Japanese American journalist Jan Yanehiro for it’s entire run on KPIX in San Francisco.
