nate225 Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Darryn OnekawaLike many of the other names on here Darren is a good bodybuilder, but like the majority nowhere near the "Greatest NZ Bodybuilder Ever". That said he's got the potential to be!Would be good to see a top 5 or so open mens list that are really in contention should such an award ever be given.I'd say Rhys, Smith, O'Grady, Johns would have to feature. (I'm leaving Moe & Schmidt out as probably not really NZ athletes???).Davies, Rainbow would also be up there for sure. Then the Mikes must figure?If we're talking NABBA - Brooks, Thin, Jensen etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the crowd both days as a wide eyed 18 year old! (Pretty crazy that Shannon B was competing at 18 years old!!!)Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR NZ 1993 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Thank you! It was fun. (In a scary kind of way. Everything was so foreign to me - I had no idea what I was doing - and I was so worried I was going to come in last!) Shannon was amazing.

EX JRMRNZ Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Steve Lynch has by far the best set of wheels ever to come out of NZ.The calf quad,hamy ballance was up with the best pro,s at the time. :nod: he did.they were so freaky in real life.easy in my top 3 NZ bodybuilder ever.Steve had time for every one like Garth witch in my eye makes them true champs.....
