The Story Behind the Storyboard

You may have seen this glorious photo montage on the website and if you haven't actually been to see us at Chromag HQ, we'd forgive you in thinking this was made in Photoshop. Actually this was made by Tony Horn as a display for the 2013 Show and Shine.

Here's the original without the numbers.

Memory is a little fuzzy on some of these but here we go:

  1. Jinya. Absolute shredder, repeatedly rode Trespasser on his hardtail.
  2. Bossman and Phelps aka "The Caged Animal" at The 4 Queens stage race.
  3. The boss man raising a glass with a look in his eye looking like he's about to go to war.
  4. Sean being Sean. That's a belt buckle in his mouth.
  5. Ian riding frame #1 in an old Samurai race.
  6. Samurai Of Singletrack trophy, now rests at Samurai Sushi Nesters rd location.
  7.  Umm...? Luke Garside, can you explain this?
  8. Steve Mitchell, Show and Shine podium.

  34. 4 Kings Race, finished a long climb and there were a bunch of hotties waiting, good stuff.
  35. Tyler and JJ, Show and Shine, old space, not sure what year.
  36. Darcy gets a massive hematoma on his arm.
