Woodward w/ Legends

More stuff from this weekend at Woodward. I’m leaving tomorrow, but may be shooting some more vert stuff with Kevin Robinson in the morning. Dennis McCoy has been in town this weekend as well, so I shot with he and John Parker today on the vert ramp in Cloud 9. Lots of heckling back and forth as is customary when Dennis is around. Large Ray, Warren, and a few of the other King of Prussia, PA old school crew were out as well (minus Gary Pollack this time unfortunately). Ray always has a vintage bike of some sort with him, and this time brought along a pristine 1986 Redline RL22. Amazing stuff.

I don’t know why this came up, but Dennis is still concerned that the legendary Camarillo ramp in the 80s had some rigged numbers on the height pole to make people look like they were going higher. Allegedly there are several photos in existence of relatively short people standing next to the height pole and being 7 feet tall. I’m glad that is still coming up in day to day conversation, but anything is possible when Dennis is around. I never noticed this, but I will be going through my old magazines when I get home to look into this further. DMC doesn’t miss a beat. He also called me out on a factual error I wrote in a magazine in 2002. I’m glad that took seven years. So if anyone is wondering, Dennis did tailwhip 540 tailtaps on mini ramps before anyone else.
