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”.

Our aim is not to embarrass anyone, but we are sure you’ll all appreciate seeing these old snaps.

Among the riders featured here include a muddy finish line flagman in Hawke’s Bay; Canterbury roadrace “young guns” Eric Oliver-Maxwell, Al Hoogenboezem, Cam Jones and Nick Cain; Orewa’s Avalon Biddle; Taupo’s Warren Bartlett; Wellington’s now seven-time national moto trials champion Jake Whitaker; Westmere’s Jaden Hassan; Otago’s Courtney Duncan; Warkworth’s Hamish Dobbyn and Hamilton’s Nick Cole.

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