That's gotta be 13 feet? Or is it even higher??

I can see Wilkerson and Blyther on the platform, Fiola over in the right hand corner behind Stacey Wilkerson (I think?!), but not sure about the dude wearing GT w/ a mouthtrap. Thought it was Dennis Langlais..
Anyone know?
Doesn't look like Josh White, but I could be wrong...

Mad pic any old way!

How d'ya think it compares to this for height?
Hoffman @ Mansfield KoV.

I have a funny feeling that this air was Matts set up for his 900 (if I remember correctly).

And I think the '87 Leucadia KoV (think this was the finals) was where Mike unleashed a 900 too....   

This could well be his set up air. (!)

And on a related note, this was around the same time Matt flipped.  I thought it was the same pipe but upon digging this out I saw it wasnt.


The Go front cover pic was from the Bercy demo in 1990. Matt flaired for the first time in Mansfield a year later....

I was in Mansfield to.
Great contest... I think Tabron almost pulled his first 900.
I had a broken leg, and a really bad hair style!
