Birthday greetings to Sammy King today – seems like a very long time since he sent me that email from OZ. – This was the first weekend out at Summerland on the Outlaw Beta. – We also set him up with some nice Wulf Trials gear – a very difficult section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ===========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because of the things happening these days, we thought this pic would be appropriate, for this date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n =========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a brilliant photograph ( note! not pic) of Bill Barough flying up the super steep hill at Hawkstone Park Shropshire. – He is on a Factory Dot ( Devoid of trouble was the slogan) – The reason I say “Photograph” is because in those days, you had to know a lot about photography in order to get an action shot like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I should also mention that photographs rarely show how steep a hill like this is.
