Hall of Fame Inductees

Each year between three and seven individuals or groups are inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame. There is one exception, 1988, our charter year, when we inducted ten folks into the Hall on our kick-off year.

These inductees are first placed on the ballot through our nomination process. The ballots are then sent out to the all the past inductees, selected press and current paid members of the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame. They in turn cast their votes, and that is how the inductees are selected.

The 2010 Induction Ceremony will be held on Wednesday, September 22nd at the Interbike Show, Las Vegas 6:00 PM. See you there !

The inductees selected for placement into the 2010 Mountain Bike Hall of Fame are;
John Ker, (Journalism) the legendary photographer for Mountain Bike Action, Jim Wannamaker, (Promotion) a knowledgeable, likeable, hard working ambassador for mountain biking and rider/racer support, Alan Bonds, (Pioneers) an integral part of the early Marin County fat-tire scene and "The Fro Riders", (Industry) Wade Simmons, Richie Schley and Brett Tippie, pioneers of the movement called free-riding.
