Meet the maker of the original Yeti Cycles, John Parker. In this video, Parker tells the story of his life as a fabricator; from his background in Hollywood's special effects industry to the birth, rise, and transition of Yeti, to his next bicycle venture. Yeti's 1989 collaboration with Mountain Bike Action Magazine to build "The Ultimate" mountain bike is documented with an exclusive interview with former MBA editor, Zapata Espinoza. Stick around until the end of the video to discover how Parker secured athletes such as John Tomac, Juli Furtado, and Myles Rockwell, as well as a special appearance by Missy Giove!

Those were the days! I was in the cycling mix back then as a rider, racer, bike mechanic-sill am, and big fan of the sport. So many rock stars. Such growth in the sport. Truly ground breaking times. Glad I got to be a part of it in my own cycling ways. One of my good friends was the Gravity Research guys if anyone remembers them. I help them when I could. Good times. Ride ON!

After see the 5 videos of the early fathers of MTB, only I can say... that the marketing have ruined MTB all the way down. I love the early era of MTB. Thank you TPC!!!

Always wanted to hear the story between Parker and Paul Tracy. Will never forget seeing Paul’s factory Yeti in the pit at the 1992 Monterrey Indy car race.😊

Have this bike hanging in the barn with the bottom bracket shell on a shelf. They’d already fixed it once for me in Durango. I LOVED this bike.
