He gets nearly as high as me :)

and thats a slow rotating 540!!
:LolLolLolLol:
nuts air by the original big air man.
-
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!

Man what a pic, reminds me of Carlo's air (you know the one) which is higher you reckon?

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. (!)

I just posted mike but looked again and now not sure so have modified my post.
Yeah course you were Daz. ;D

I could look at Mike D pics all day ;)
Nice one Daz

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....

Oh well, it was a while ago!
Just checked the archives - 16th September 1990.

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