These pic's were taken in 2002, digital cameras were pretty new then, you were pretty flash if you had one, a decent one anyway. We managed to acquire one to take photos of our travels with Haro and Vodafone, these are some of them.

Not sure on photo credits, could of been anyone.

Tim Shackleford, at Putararu bowl. Tim had style flowing out his ears, and one of the most motivated diggers I've ever met, its so daunting starting a new set of trails but not for Tim he proved that to me (sadly) on more than one occasion.

Pretty sure nac nac's were illegal back then, seem to be pretty fashionalble these days. Digger with a classic on the old Victoria park box.

NZ bmx legend Phil Irwin on his and another NZ legend Mario Petkovic's backyard mini, real nice ramp. Hard to beat a good backyard mini, other than some good trails in the woods of course.

 Josh Harrington, at a Haro show in Wellington.

Another show in Aotea Square Auckland, Paul Needham and just out of frame another bmx legend, the mighty "Grub" twin fast plants.

Haven't been shooting much lately, so thought I'd post some old skool pics.
Enjoy.

Jason Harris, footjam, before they were fashionable.

The Legend himself Grub, to fakie.

Warren G Fryer, when he wasn't doing the thankless job of managing the team he would have a roll with us

Tim Shackleford, at our old local trails on 17th Ave TGA

Needham boosting, before BDO had a brain freeze and took the vert away, that was always one of the best shows of the year.

Chis Fell, another BDO. What ever happened to this guy, I'd like to know....
He was very good, crazy to watch but very good.

A mixed bag

So, its been a good summer so far plenty of riding has been going down, well for some anyway, Trails decided they would take there toll, so a few weeks off the bike for me, should of listened to my mother "remember to keep your hands on the handle bars".

Couple of old friends were passing though the other day, Paul Needham and Doug so I met them at the trails so they could have a ride and I could get some pic's.

Doug with a casual one-hander.

Needham X'd up

Paul, busting one of his classic supermans, still ripping.

Last weekend we were supposed to be heading over to Ragland for a dirt comp at Manuka Valley jump park, but the weather was not in our favor. So we decided to head to Hamilton anyway to maybe, get some street shots. Got one good shot of Jed on a ledge in Waikato Uni.

Off to Wellington this weekend for the 4th round of the NZ Dirt Series, should be a good one.

Flash back

This clip is crazy had it sitting on my harddrive for ages so thought I'd share it.
The two rider's are Paul Needham and Jason Harris riding in a Haro demo in Whanganui
in 2000 (I think)
I was a nana and refused to ride because it had just been pissing down with rain so I filmed,
wet grass, wet ramp, no barriers, bmxer's and loads of kids equals madness......
