Darren was I think the first guy to really JUMP an outfit. He took pics of them to Europe in '87 and even Bachtold thought he was crazy.
At Cussack in France there was a double downhill with a left hander and I suggested to Hansi to jump it to pick up some time.... I thought it would be no trouble......he said no way!! I was a bit taken aback. He won both heats though so he needn't had to.
August Muller on a lefthand VMC could have done it no probs but didn't bother either. He could have jumped down into the lefthander with his passenger on the seat...much as they do today, and ridden away with it.
We don't know what we can achieve do we.............................

When I saw what he was doing to his sidecar over the jumps at Noble falls it blew me away. I have another front on but it is on a slide which I will have to find but he was at least 20ft (6m+) in the air. Left quite few mouths gapping when he did that and I still shake my head when I look at the pics...awesome.

Actually much easier for the passenger to jump doubles than ride through them.

I am sure the first pic is Mick Wimmer/John Steyntjes.
The other shot looks like Southern Cross with Joe Grasso/Pete Williams leading on the #3, with Mick and John on #1. Not sure about #2. Danny Sawyer/Paul Foster I think are on #4 and I am not sure about the others. Maybe Jeff or Terry Little on the #24 at the back.
I reckon this is ’85 or ’86 ish

No.1, Joe Grasso?
