As a New England kid, when that Bike issue dropped- whoa. Changed everything for me. There was a scene of some of that stuff happening up here too- a move towards more technical riding- but the ideas about building really seemed to shift things into high gear.
Frame/part warranties went up out here too- the trails that were being built at the time had substantial drops on them, but were usually flat landings, so the impacts were immense.
It's so crazy to think that both coasts had these movements (with each having their own cottage industries to deal with the problems riders were having- think Sinister, Evil, Goat, Geekbikes, etc).
