A little late, but never mind...

Let's see some fine sporting photography of people who do their best to not only compete, but also to bring a little entertainment to what they do. Thusly;

If that IS who I think it is, he was beaten at that event by this feller -

And he used to do this:

A sad sad day when he lost his battle with cancer, but he brought the sport of windsurfing freestyle right to the forefront of the sport.

I've been searching for a particular clip of footage of him for ages. Mid-AMA Supercross race, instead of a small double then woop section he just launched straight into the (mahoosive) woops then proceeded the manual the whole thing - front wheel didn't touch the ground once, proper legend 8)

Binners great shout on Giancarlo Falappa 😆 proper loon.

Pondo no he is American and you will have to go back a while, the Honda is a red herring as he made his name on a Suzuki. He may well of ridden at Manchester not 100% sure.

I [i]think[/i] it might be Cooperman...? Not sure when that picture's from (if it IS him!), but he was a Honda privateer before he was a works Suzuki guy (no pun intended). 🙂
