Before carbon bikes, Red Bull Rampage, or GoPros on full-face helmets, there was Greg Herbold. With a neon kit, a mullet that wouldn’t quit, and the guts to bomb downhill courses no one had ever seen before, Herbold didn’t just race—he defined downhill mountain biking.In this deep-dive video, we explore the wild career of the man who won the first-ever UCI Downhill World Championship in 1990. From his BMX roots to his days shredding prototype bikes and pioneering suspension tech, Greg “H-Ball” Herbold laid the groundwork for what downhill would become.If you’ve ever ripped a trail, rocked a loud jersey, or even looked at a RockShox fork, you owe something to Herbold. Get ready for the history lesson you didn’t know you needed—with all the style, speed, and sarcasm you’ve come to expect from Bike Filth.🔥 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more MTB legends and bike history deep dives!⸻#GregHerbold #DownhillMTB #MountainBikingHistory #BikeFilth #UCIWorldChampionship #MTBLegend #NeonMTB #MTBIcon #MTBShredder #DownhillLegend #FirstDHWorldChamp #RockShox #90sMTB #MountainBikeLife #OldSchoolMTB #MTBTech #MTBPioneer #BikeHistory #MTBDocumentary #BMXtoMTB #MTBRacing #MTBCulture #GregHerboldMTB #HBALL
