Title: Holeshot
Post by: markatkins on August 14, 2008, 01:49 PM

Remember the days of the Holeshot contest?I think they did 3 in Islington back in 85,86,87'they managed to get some top riders from the states like DMC,Hoffman,Josh White,Wilkerson,Sigur etc.....
The crowds were massive for that era and the atmosphere was amazing.
Anyone got any good photos,memories from those contest?Ill never forget seeing Hoffman for the first time,Josh White doing crazy high 540s and Biff/balcony,say no more......
I think they even did a Holeshot frame in a pale blue?

Also if you search this site for "Holeshot" you will find loads on the comps and on the frames.
There was recently an RF1 frame found by a member on here the only one known today.
