Schulze and Mooney decided to share their love of the sport with others via instructional videotapes, and they marked their first wedding anniversary in 1988 with the worldwide release of "The Great Mountain Biking Video: The Complete Guide to One of the World's Most Exciting and Fastest Growing Sports!"[4] thumb|VHS Box Cover from "The Great Mountain Biking Video".

"The Great Mountain Biking Video" included tips and techniques presented by mountain-bike racing professionals, Ned Overend, Martha Kennedy, John Tomac, Julia Ingersoll, Tinker Juarez, Trials rider, Kevin Norton and Olympian John Howard (cyclist). Interviews were videotaped at Big Bear Lake, California[5] with additional B-roll footage videotaped in Big Bear and other Southern California locations, including some of the first helmet camera footage ever videotaped, showing singletrack trails from the rider’s POV (Point of View). "The Great Mountain Biking Video" won a Telly Award in the Sports/Instructional category and earned many reviews including this one from Billboard (magazine) which described the video as “A fine introduction to the exciting world of mountain biking... Anyone interested in taking up this activity is advised to view this program beforehand...” NORBA (National Off-Road Bicycle Association, now a division of USA Cycling) gave the video its endorsement: “NORBA proudly endorses and recommends The Great Mountain Biking Video. It is a complete guide to all aspects of mountain biking, and offers a lot to beginners and expert riders alike.”

The Video Rating Guide for Libraries, an encyclopedic soft-cover manual that listed videotapes of interest to librarians, said "Since this sport appeals to men and women, young and old, this program is an excellent one to watch if you’re thinking of getting your feet wet in the sport... Where to ride, who to ride with, good times of the year, riding tips, and an introduction to racing — it’s all here, neatly packed into timely segments. With interviews from top pros, and tips from riders with years of experience The Great Mountain Biking Video provides a good basic foundation for anyone considering taking up the sport of mountain biking. - ****
