We here at BikesportNZ.com take literally thousands of photos at the dozens of events we travel to, but, the shame is, most never see the light of day.

So we have decided to trawl through our archives and dig out some of those shots that either have never been seen before or simply that rate among our favourites and deserve a second viewing … we are calling it our “weekend wind-back” and we may make it a regular feature.

Our aim is not to embarrass anyone and we won’t always feature crash shots, although they often are the most spectacular.

Among the riders featured here are current New Zealand superbike champion Dennis Charlett, a young Maximus Purvis, a young Shayne King and Daryl Atkins, a young Kylie Dorr, Motueka’s former motocross GP rider Josh Coppins in action during his fateful 2007 season in Europe and former Feilding rider Haki Waller.

See if you can identify and match-up the individuals named here and visit us on Facebook to lodge your comments.
