Remembering Jason
« on: May 10, 2007, 12:20:39 AM »
I was perusing the latest 'YETI' catalogue the other day and saw the fantastic close-up shot of Myles Rockwell in the Dual Eliminator. Behind him is the blurry but unmistakeable outline of Jason in his spotty Hardisty top.
I think a forum for submitted pics of Jason would be a good idea - people always got their cameras out when he was around! I have a shot of him on a Salsa at Langdale End. He also won the bunnyhop contest and declined the prize of a Girvin Flexstem.
I bought a YETI btw!

Well spotted - I also saw that shot and it brought back happy days memories. Jason could have won that race you know but looked over his shoulder. He was so on fire that day. I remember him fondly and that day will always be in my mind how he got to the 1/4 finals I think it was and was just stoked to be getting a choppa ride to the top then on.
