The photo of Dave Scott battling it out with Mark Allen at Kona is the most famous photograph in this sport(in my mind).
It had such a presence when it come out on the front of the magazine covers all those years ago. I still can't help notice how lean those guys were.
The fact they put their lightest running gear on also makes a difference from today. It makes them look even more athletic(to me), somehow.
Cameron Brown is starting to take on a resembence to these guys physique wise but he isn't quite so tall. He is in pretty dominant form at present.
