#21 July/August 1999

RIDER: Jerome Newman
LOCATION: Backcountry Heli
PHOTOGRAPHER: Tony Harrington

Jerome Newton is on the cover of what’s billed as our “Travel Issue”. The travel stories themselves cover Alaska, France, India, The US Northwest, Tahoe in California, and Canadian destinations Whitewater, Whistler, and Lake Louise. Aaron Jamieson takes us through the steps of a backside rodeo in “Trick Tip”, and our interview for the year is with one hard-working Stephen Scott. The centrefold poster is Australian legend Tim Vlandis buried up to his goggles. “Inside” looks at the difference between FIS and ISF, and there’s a profile on “Woolly the Enigma” – complete with a rally shot of his ‘red sled’ Datsun. The closing shot “Haere Ra” shows Deano clearing a rather large rock courtesy of Backcountry Heli in Wanaka.
