I had a better look through it last night and I still can't believe how much I missed at the event!  :D
My favourite photos (out of the dozens that I love!) are the the one of Phil from Shannon's and the deteriorated plug cap. Both have a great 'feel' to them and both are by D. Digger.

btw Firko, I didn't see the Cheney shot you're talking about in there.  ??? You sure you didn't dream that bit, or am I just blind?   :-\

Holy Shit!!!
Just got my copy of Roger Harveys CD7 Pictorial and i just cant put it down. Back to front, front to rear time and time again.
If you have any interest in VMX, whether you were at Conondale or not this pictorial representation of both VMX & Classic Dirt is a MUST HAVE. Roger's (and the many contibutors) interpretation of what happened that weekend has been captured in a way i diddn't think would be possible.

As Molly would say, "do yourself a favour" and get this book as i'm sure that in years to come it will figure in everyone collection of must haves.

AWESOME!

Got mine, Brilliant.  I can't believe how much it helped me to remember about the W/end.
Just get a copy, It's worth it.
Thanks Roger   
PS I'll be in touch for an A4 copy of those track drawings 8)

Ditto all of the above! Unable to get there this year so this was the next best thing. Wish I could think of something profound to say. I will tell you this though. I let a mate who is new to the scene and a CD virgin have a look (actually he's borrowed it!) and he's already talking up a road trip for CD8 (where ever it's held!) Well done again Roger. Cheers Jerry

I've got my copy and it's a bit of a buzz to see myself in a book about my hobby/sport.

But for all I did think of DJ and Bill. They came from another country and Bill even bought a bike sight unseen, brought his hop up parts over with him and rebuilt the bike before riding it for the event! That's hard core!

I've bought five plus another two after I type this....I've sent two to America, one to the UK and another to NZ, now my mate in America wants another one for his buddy. Everyone loves it Roger, methinks you may have created an annual monster!

No it was me.....Before I got my copies I was in Jonesy's office looking at his copy while we were also flicking through your photos on the computer screen...somehow my mind computed that I'd seen the photo in the book. It had me rooted....I must have gone through the book a dozen times looking for it again before it clicked as to what had happened.

You wait until you're my age Tony!

Just brought a copy as a momento and was really stocked to see two fabulous photos of myself in the book plus one of my head in the headshots in the back. Must have some thing to do with me riding the Hodaka Super Rat (not the front cover one). Had a blast on the pre 75 track racing the other Super Rat and yes I was faster until I blew both the back shocks out jumping it over the fantastic jump after the big tree.

Does the publisher have a bit of a soft spot for Hodakas. ?

Great work on the book. Thanks
