Gracias 🙏

Right! And he just landed in my backyard, so to speak. Pivotal life moment (no pun intended, but...) in retrospect.

Pssst, that's Miron ;) Just watched this through again, and wow that's a lotta action for sure. Thanks dude

This rings a bell, but can't quite recall. Would def put a bet it was related to a camera ops lack of spacial awareness on deck (AND completely oblivious to the mental game of risk the riders were dealing with).

@MavroCam That makes sense, when I watch these videos of older contests the deck would get so crowded with people who have no business being there ( friend groups, girlfriends etc.)

Pretty cool you were there, seeing vert in person is mandatory. I'll be posting Best Trick soon. Thanks!

Bestwick ruled. The air he got was just spectacular.

@@stevenelliott155 Another level, so impressive.

@@MavroCam vert was sick! Those lineups were the best ones ever. Mirra, Kagy, Kevin, Bestwick, Mirron a little before, Simon Tabron, such epic times. Its Crazy to think Mirra and Kevin are long gone as well!

And still is!

One of a kind, "I tell you what" 🤘

Right! Thanks dude:)

Metal

There it is, hoping some of you would notice 😉Carlo is a sight to behold

@MavroCam Bizarrely, it's the first time I've seen him do an air opposite, let alone a lookback. And as a UK rider of that era I've seen him ride a lot. 💪

@@DAW1968 As I recall, he seemed to be having fun with it, especially with those late rocket airs. Too cool. And it was stupid windy that day as well.

@@LoneWolfed wait, are YOU Top Gun?

Thank you sir, will do

YES, such a surreal moment, Mike D approved lol.

Blyther looking even better than I remembered, (of course)

Ha, but how great would it be to find that shirt lol

Porsche was dieing and thought they needed something modern and away from tradition to make them float again. It's purpose was to replace the 911 but it ended up being the money maker that they needed to save the company from going under and saved the 911 in the process. Very important car in their lineup indeed. They added Volkswagens 924 to keep a line up of cars going which became the loved 944. Produced for 18 years with slight changes along with enlarging engine displacement multiple times they were able to rejuvenate the 911 before the 928 was put to rest while learning it wasn't the 911s fault they were dieing it was their own fault. If you want to know a little of what the car felt like in its prime watch the movie Risky Business. It sums it up perfectly. Good movie too

@@plap. great insightful comment ! Thank you for teaching me something today

@@LarryStranger No prob., Don't forget to watch the movie. It's really good and Tom Cruises second movie before he got weird and unbearable. It was 1982 and the 928 had been around for about 5 years. Had small updates and in its prime. When I picture the car in my head I picture that one. Love It or hate it, it was that kind of car, it was a great car. I always loved it. It was still a Porsche after all.

@@plap. am I mistaken for thinking Tony Montana purchased one in Scarface ?

@@LarryStranger Yes, very good. I forgot about that. That would have been '83 still at it height. Was showing status in that but wasn't so much a character in the movie as it was in Risky Business tho.
