Yeah cool pic Grant I remember that, also the holeshot comp was great other than the fact I broke my wrist in practise bailing from a can can lookback. Pretty sure Ive got some old Video footage from that holeshot too with Craig boosting into the halfpipe.

he actually slammed the 540 attempt in the half-pipe. but just the boost itself into it from the top of the 1/4 was well mental.

I rode holeshot that year. Mike canning did his run then Craig did his or vica vers... Anyway, Mike's run was better but they gave Craig 1st place probably because the crowd's reaction to his run.
Craig, knowing that Mike's run was better,then gave the trophy to Mike,
Top bloke

Craig definitely didn't finish 1st that year. Ron Wilkerson won it and I think Josh White got second. He may well have finished third though.

I cant remember RW or JW being at holeshot that year.

Trev · « **Reply #11 on:** September 02, 2006, 11:20 AM »

I'm pretty sure they were. Ron W gave me a 2hip t-shirt there. He was pulling pedal picker drop ins and a miami hopper backwards drop in. Surely you can't forget that!!
Mat Hoffman and Scott Freeman were also there.

ive got the video ron.w & josh.w where def there & got 1st & 2nd place.

I thought it was Joe Johnson who jumped from quater to half .. I'm sure it was....

Trev · « **Reply #14 on:** September 02, 2006, 04:34 PM »

It was definitely Campbell that jumped from the top of the 1/4 into the 1/2 pipe.

sean · « **Reply #15 on:** September 02, 2006, 04:38 PM »

I think you could be right there trev, but campbell definitely gave canning a trophey of some sort.

yup ! it was craig alright. the place went foooking mad aswell !!!!!

has anyone got a copy of the video

lent mine out years ago + never got it back . that clip of eric steel's 540 canyon was my highlight of the video . oh + did'nt scott freeman ride to some dire staits song ?

Trev · « **Reply #19 on:** September 03, 2006, 12:20 AM »

Yeah, it was Walk of Life by Dire Straits, but I don't think he actually rode to it. It was the soundtrack added to the video that was released.

Trev · « **Reply #20 on:** September 03, 2006, 12:25 AM »

I've got a copy of the video somewhere. I'll try and find it. The only problem is, I had one of the original versions of it that didn't have Hoffman on it. The first batch for some reason missed out Hoffman's run. They were recalled and replaced by the vid that did have his run. For some reason (laziness I expect) I never sent my copy back to get the newer version, hence my copy is Hoffmanless.

fletchy baby · « **Reply #21 on:** September 03, 2006, 09:05 AM »

love or loathe Andy Ruffel u gotta admit , they were the best contests ever !!!

i was a massive Terry Jenkins fan, + just seeing him made my day !!!!!!!!! did anyone ever get up to the balcony + watch the comp from above the quarterpipe

See that house in the background? I used to sit on my bike outside there, on the pavement, watching the guys ride and dream of being able to sit by the ramp where that kid is.

I was a shy kid.....
