How about jumping WHILE racing? Me trailing Rusty Cable at North Park PA WOS.

I wasn't all that stylish BITD. I am trying to find jumping pics of me. Here is the aftermath of some jumping

I rode my bike home after going OTB. The funny thing was my Dad (who is a lawyer) told me I probably just sprained my wrists. Two days later I go to the doctor. TWO broken arms.

Not boring anyone here mate. I love lookin' at any old school pics. Bring 'em on!

Kevin, I'll be passing on the Bakersfield Nats. Not currently training.

Stu, Just curious, what class would you race?

Keep'm coming guys - love the pics.

Paul,

Good guess - you're thinking Troy Moser, but Mosely was from Burnsville and a freestyler - Moser was a racer, think Torker uniform and a Dad built like Popeye! That's Troy Moser.

There's a MN reunion in the works - Ted has you the list.

Nice to see you here - been a long time.

ok, here's the deal. I am 6 foot tall and 315 lbs. and all I ever really want to do is cross-ups. I dream of cross-ups. I probably need to see a shrink. I see a track and all I can think is cross-up. My wife probably wants to divorce me over cross-ups. I even get mad that the kids of today have re-named it to X-up. Viva la Cross-up!

Nice pics Justin!

Wish I could X - up Pat

#17 might have been Steplight, we were the same age Frank.

Cool thread guys!

Sweet trails!

X up? I always called it a helicopter. Boy I must be old. And when did a Redline become the Greg Hill tuck. What did you guys call jumps BITD?

That is an "Interlock", with a bit of a "cross up". A heli was a 360....

Thats a sweet x-up Ben. I think I was around in between the transition of helicopter and x-up (crossups in my day). I remember them being called both.

Hmmm 1985 With all protective equipment...aka my pink polo shirt...Home made track in Canberra Australia...good times...I'm currently in restoring this bike...

COOL PICS GUYS KEEPEM COMING
CHEERS FREESTYLER

I've always known a 180 degree turn of the front bars as an x-up. What Ben Baron is doing is a 270 X.

Cross-ups is turning the bars 90 degrees. They're also called Turn-bars today - which I prefer.

EuroTables where laying the bike over and turning the bars 90 degrees so the number plate faced down (normal tables had the plate facing up). I think Capt Kirk Crisco when I think of a great Eurotable. Lots of new school riders do great one-foot euro tables - Mikey Aitken comes to mind on that .

I remember people calling 360's - helicopters. I think that was borrowed a bit from skiing. That is one trick I always wanted to do - if only there was foam pits back then

84profile - that is one large looking jump! Very nice!

This is what we called a tabletop in Australia, (all though could be a bit flatter) I think this was like 82...Cook Bros, again going all the safety equipment...

What we called turn downs. Again could have been flatter...

and the last one we called...about to eat Sh*t face...

Awesome Australia pics! Getting some big time air in those! Nice style too!

Thanks dude, oh I forgot to mention, I have quite a few "encouragement" ribbons for my racing efforts (aka 8th place) thus the lack of racing photos ...yeah those ribbons got me some cred bitd..NOT..

heres a few from a new school rider

i dont have many jumping photos

captions are in the previous post....maybe a lil bit out of order

is/are that those the 401 trails? i might be moving out that way soon. it'll be nice to be near trails that aren't full of water 90% of the time (like the ones in apex)

Here is another I just found of it me on my last bike, 84 Profile

good o

Here is a shot of me racing in about '82. I'm the one with the black tuffs and grey sweat shirt.


Here are a couple of shots of me jumping. The first is around '85-'85. The second is from around '87, and you can't really tell from the photo, but the dirt jump under me is on FIRE

Man the last picts is my fav bro! Rad to the max!

x up old man style
