Title: Holeshot 1986 Pics....Updated!
Post by: bmxer4ever on May 17, 2008, 11:30 AM
The "Guess the rider" thread got me looking for these. Unfortunately my flash wasn't in sync with my shutter speed (DOH!) which is a bloody shame, so most of these pics are half light/half dark, but they're all I have so I thought I'd post 'em anyway.

I'm not gonna put any names on the pics - most should be obvious, some I don't know and the rest you all can guess!
I'll edit them in later.... No idea if these are in any kinda order, but here goes...

Cheers guys - just wish that I'd synched my flash! I've got a whole set from the Haro Demo - Wilkerson, Nourie, Blyther - at Poole BFA in '86 that are just as bad. I havn't bothered scanning them in yet, but I'll take another look and see if they're worth the effort....

It's gotta be up there in the 10 foot region anyway! When you were gettin' more air than the ramp was high, it must have been scary! Viva McCoy!

I was thinking of that. Already done a little to them on the Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album, Starter Edition program that came with the computer, but it only has limited features. Know where I can get a copy of Photoshop on the sly??!! I'd like to be able to sort all these pics out as there are some great images, just with this shutter/flash problem.

I remember the clip you're talking about...! Can't remember when I last saw it though.....

I competed in Holeshot '86, came 3rd behind McCoy and Pepi and '87, can't remember where I came - didn't ride well.
