My Stumpjumper


The original 1981 Stumpjumper
At Specialized, we're working on a project to capture the spirit of mountain biking and we need your help.

We've just started on an exciting book that will celebrate the origins of mountain biking and the 25th Anniversary of the introduction of the Stumpjumper, the first widely available mountain bike ever. For it we're looking for Stumpjumper owners with a story to tell.

Maybe you have an original 1981 Stumpjumper that you ride to work every day? Maybe you pedaled your 1995 Stumpjumper the length of the Continental Divide Trail. Or maybe you've just been able to spend more time with your kids because of your new Stumpjumper. Regardless, if you feel strongly about your Stumpjumper and want to tell the world about it, we want to hear from you.

Truth in advertising? We think so.
In 100 words or less, use the form at the bottom of this page to tell us about your Stumpjumper.

If you're one of the six people that are chosen to be featured in the book you'll receive a free copy of the book, a reissued Specialized retro team jersey, and be entered in a drawing to win a new Stumpjumper.

Deadline For Submissions Is August 01, 2005.

Send your Stumpjumper story and any photos to stumpjumper@specialized.com.

Note that all submissions--stories and photos--become the property of Specialized. By submitting your "My Stumpjumper" story & photos, you grant Specialized unrestricted license to the material.

Here's to another 25 years!
