Title: Blyther - White - Deluca - Voelker - Highest Air Comp - BMX Plus Jan 1988
Post by: BrianP on January 10, 2009, 08:18 PM

Was flicking through an old mag and found these pics from a highest air competition that was being run for an entry in the Guinness World Records tv show.

Thought some of you guys might be interested in seeing them.

Nice one Brian!

Ten foot airs on a ramp no wider than the bike they are riding - awesome!

That Blyther style is just SO distintive.

I hope all's well bro.

Too right mate, that'd even be scary on today's huge ramps!

Was reading through the article and they gave the title to Josh White initially, but revoked it and reassigned it to Blyther after watching the footage.

Crazy heights all round tho. (And Deluca's riding a coaster brake!).

8)

Doing pretty good thanks matey, be in touch soon,
