Tony D. and the Jammer
« on: August 14, 2008, 09:39:11 pm »
Does any one have a photo of these folks that they would like to share ???
it was as they say a "best motocross pic ever made"
apparently it has graced the covers of a few magazines like cyclenews,racerx.
thanks

HI VMX247,
take a wander directly to Charlie Moreys web site and the image is right there. You can even purchase it.

This one? I read somewhere Jimmy fell off after the impact. Can anyone confirm?
and on the classic MX photos can anyone post or direct me to the Roger DeCoster photo where he's draggin' the bars in a berm (a Bel-Ray sign is behind him)?

Wombat,
The video of that photo is on the 'One chance to win' DVD. I don't remember Jimmy falling. I will see if I can find it and check it out for you

Hey Jeff...After spending some time with McCook over the last few days, I've discovered he's a good friend of Tony D and reckons he's good value, even though he's in a wheelchair. He might be a good candidate for CD6 with the Suzuki connection and all.

I have that movie - maybe that's where I get the idea? :-\
I'll have to have another look!

Tim i think Tony D crashed while practicing for one of his schools after he retired and broke his back. He is also mostly blind in 1 eye from a workshop accident just before he retired from racing.

I didn't know that. It's very sad.

BTW, what happened to Steve Stackable? I know he was in a very bad microlight or car crash a few years ago.

I saw Stackable in an interview recently and he looks ok.

Yeah KB, it's similar. I think the Roger/Bel-Ray shot is a black & white.
I remember trying time and again to get that low in a corner but never could manage it.
On the odd occasion the bars got that low but they stayed there! Pick it up, try again... :D
