This page features John in a collection of photos you will treasure. There's much more to come. These pages will be updated whenever we can. We have a number of very nice Heida pics we will soon share with you.
There remains one moment for which John Heida will always be remembered. Saturday May 22, 1993. The day that Cobra wheelied over the wall at Mission. Brian Forster snapped, what to the best of our knowledge, is the only still image taken of this spectacular wreck.
Most of the Cobra photos are from 1991 to 93.
The 1992 track champs included from left to right Jamie Roth, Heida, David Rastad of Maple Ridge, (the only non-Richmond guy pictured), Rory McNeil and Martin Rachel.
1995 the day he beat them all at the Seattle Lucas
Heida and Rory McNeil leave as one at Eagle. Brian Arnott between 'em.
