You also have Woody Itson's signature on the poster which is kinda huge as he was just as famous if not a little more then Mike. A bit of interesting history IMHO. Both Mike and Woody both rode for Hutch which were like the Bianchi of BMX of the time, everyone wanted one but few could afford them. Mike leaves Hutch in 1986 for a lucrative deal with Diamond Back gets his own signature bike the "Mike Dominguez Strike Zone". In 1987 the year of your poster/event Woody breaks his foot, and I think Hutch was starting to struggle financially. Mike feels sorry for Woody and gets him sponsored onto Diamond Back. Not even a year later in 1988. Diamond Back drops Mike like a hot stone, and renames his signature bike the "Woody Itson Strike Zone" Ouch right?
