There were 650b bikes being used on goat paths, etc in Europe before this. The evolution was happening in a few places so lets not overstate it.

People rode bikes on dirt for a long time. The sport of mountain biking, however, came from Marin County, where a culture developed around it, and where more importantly, some guys decided to take the idea commercial so riders wouldn't have to build their own bikes. Follow any aspect of the modern sport upstream, and you will come to Joe.
