My father-in-law gave me this clip from the telly guide of, I think, the Mail. Did they really show film from BMW? Anybody see it or better still record it? Any idea who (and where) that is in the photograph?
North Shore is a specific area along Vancouver's North shore. Some cool trails and man-made stuff in there. That looks like a picture of Kris Holm at Whistler, from several years ago, wearing his red/white/green Norco jersey.

On a second look, that steep rock looks like the image from the KH posters you can buy at Unicycle.com: http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=637 He's wearing a jersey in the picture above, but everything else seems to match.
For reference, that image was also used on the backs of the T-shirts and sweatshirts at the 1999 California Mountain Unicycle Weekend, so the image has been around a while...

Thanks for the replies - I suspected it was an oldish pic because it looks like a 26" wheel and fairly normal mountain bike tyre (i.e. not 3"😉, and now you mention it I think I've probably seen KH in a picture like that.
So does anybody know about the BMW reference? And did anybody see the programme?
