Higher quality version of Bubba's Leap picture?

KICKERMAN360
Just wondering if anyone has a higher quality version of this photo:



I am wanting to get a print done. No idea who took it originally but it's been floating around the internet for ages.

What a picture and even more what riding skills/ balls!
Seen that pic before but forgot it- just trying to get my head around what both the take off and landing must have been like- James knows I guess but most other people can only imagine!
Hope he shows for A1 and some more!

I heard a rim or two got bent in that unsuccessful attempt.

That was incredible to watch. These are the moments of JS7 that will be missed.

Hard to fathom that kind of leap to flat ground. All that for a heat race win...and people say he has no heart.

Those leap photos are pretty great, but honestly, what I really like seeing of his are the kill scrub photos of him. He made such good use of it, that everyone had to learn to do it too or never be up front.

1984 Daytona Supercross video on YouTube at 13 minute mark, saw it live looked so much more insane then, check it out sorry but that's over 30 years ago, I guess it's not as extreme as the riders today but WFOballs for 1984 check it out and then comment.

Guy b credited the photographer, look to see if he has a website and if you can get the raw file, maybe offer him some $ for a copy.

One thing I'd love to see is more professional photogs offer their digital content for purchase easily on websites, I'd have a colllleccctiooonnn of prints if so.

Before I even go look that up...I'm going to go ahead and guess that you're talking about Bob Hannah on a Honda?

Edit: My bad....O'mara. I just remember the promo tape that Honda sent out to all of their dealers back then. I watched it so many times I think I melted it.

Haha, I'm in this photo. Bonus points if you can spot a former factory mechanic and a top level pro.

Eric Kehoe's leap at the 93' Gatorback National was pretty impressive, considering he was also jumping into semi-whoops....
