Have ya got the other angle of Grant doing this jump? As soon as I clicked on the greatest mx pics I was hoping to see a Grant pic. Good stuff man.

Yeah dude, badass...

It was a podcast that Byrne was doing, he called Fro on it, and then Fro said yeah... Didn't say how far after but still...

Thing is I guess, he musta entered that corner a thousand times like that, you don't just stand up into a corner like that unless you're comfortable, or unless you're about to fuck up haha...

Where is the photo of Johnny O Mara at Daytona from 1984?

Surely some oldtimer must recall when he pinned it through the whoops and over the finish line jump like nobody else did that day.

Does anyone have the black and white pic of Daytona? There's a guy airing it out over what looks to be a pile of tires off to the side of a jump. I can't remember who pulled off the jump but I remember reading somewhere that he thought that line was faster.

Not sure if anyone knows the pic I'm talking about....

One and the same, although SuperMario I think you're referring to a different, side angle image?

If its the same one I'm thinking about, it's Johnny O on the finish line trying to pass for the win at daytona. Its sick! I hope someone on here has it!

IMO, the Magoo one with the bent bar is the greatest for all it represents.

The Hannah one from Unadilla is awesome. There's also one of RJ at the Rodil Cup(sp?) in LA where he's wering the Bad Boy Club shorts over his gear. I'm gonna have to dig through some old mags to find it.

The coolest one I've seen though is of Kevin Windham that hangs in his office that Cudby shot of him from the stands of Minneapolis his last year on 125's over the finish line and he is completely inverted. I hope Cudby sees this and posts the pic, its unreal!

So, has this become the pics we dig thread, as opposed to best pic ever of all time, dammit. Because there's a couple I'd post I dig with no claim whatsoever about where they stand relative to any other shooter.

Post a reply to: Is this the greatest MX pic of all time?
