Title: Holeshot photos @ The Sobell Centre 1985 ?
Post by: hotdog on April 28, 2011, 03:23 PM
Not sure but I think it was 1985. Ron Wilkerson was there for Haro plus I think Rich Sigur (correct me if I'm wrong) Craig Cambell was on Pro-Lite. Neil Ruffell was going BIG. Apologies for the poor quality shots,no flash so I had to make do with other peoples flash guns!

I found the pic I have in a mag and Sid was deffo on a Quad  :daumenhoch: I think I was getting mixed up with the Slingshot review they did - its no wonder he was on a Quad as they were very highly rated for strength back then

I must have gone to the 2nd & 3rd one then. I remember Dennis McCoy doing an amazing demo and then jumping off his bike,grabbing the mic and rapping. What a great day!

It's weird, I remember watching Dennis, and I remember the rap, but I'm sure I competed against him too...?!? Did he ride in the comp AND do a demo?!?
