Not sure but I think it was 1985. Ron Wilkerson was there for Haro plus I think Rich Sigur (correct me if I'm wrong) Craig Cambell was on Pro-Lite. Neil Ruffell was going BIG. Apologies for the poor quality shots,no flash so I had to make do with other peoples flash guns!
Craig Cambell

Neil Ruffell

Ronny Boy

Cannot remember this guys name...

yeah well... you were right

I found the pic I have in a mag and Sid was deffo on a Quad

I think I was getting mixed up with the Slingshot review they did - its no wonder he was on a Quad as they were very highly rated for strength back then

I must have gone to the 2nd & 3rd one then. I remember Dennis McCoy doing an amazing demo and then jumping off his bike,grabbing the mic and rapping. What a great day!

Does anyone have any picks from the first Holeshot comp? I went but didn't take any pics

I think Craig Campbell one? And it made the 9 o'clock news
