Earlier this week, the Marin Museum of Bicycling and Mountain Bike Hall of Fame inducted five new members for 2025, during a ceremony that also honored the 2024 inductees. The sold-out event recognized athletes and industry figures who have shaped mountain biking across multiple disciplines and decades.
The 2025 inductees represent diverse aspects of the sport. Jill Kintner enters with 25 elite USA national championships across six disciplines, three World 4X championships, and 43 Crankworx gold medals, continuing her competitive success into her 40s while mentoring young riders through her Race Craft clinics.
Joey Klein joins as IMBA’s longest-serving employee, having influenced trail construction in 45 states and 14 countries over 25 years, including designing 60 miles of trail at Keystone Resort that became the foundation for the Keystone Bike Park.
Cam Zink, a two-time Red Bull Rampage champion and 2010 Freeride World Tour winner, set a world record for the longest dirt-to-dirt backflip in 2014 and has expanded his influence through founding Sensus accessories, R.A.D. Trails nonprofit, and Zink Bikes.
The ceremony also recognizes the partnership of Paul Turner and Steve Simons, who created RockShox in 1988 and launched the RS-1 fork at the 1990 World Championships, establishing the foundation for modern suspension technology. Their company went public in 1997 and was acquired by SRAM in 2002.
Along with the 2025 inductees, the ceremony honored the class of 2024, which included the legendary Danny MacAskill. At the Marin Museum of Bicycling and HOF, Danny was doing Danny things and dropped off the seat of Ibis Maximus on his new Santa Cruz.
The 2024 class included Fred Glo, who pioneered Enduro racing in the French Alps; Enrico Guala, known as “The Pope of Enduro”; Chris Ball, who helped establish the Enduro World Series; Sam Hill, three-time UCI Downhill World Champion; Danny MacAskill, whose viral videos have generated over 550 million YouTube views; and Jeff Steber, who developed full-suspension downhill bikes including the influential Intense M1 model.
