This is an interesting shot from the early 70's...probably 1971. The footage is from the Witzig film "Animals."
Greenough is seen here riding Lennox on a "Stripes Down" Hodgman mat. The ride is in slow motion, which gives us some nice detail as to his constantly changing riding technique.
The Hodgmans from this era were long, narrow, and very thick. They had a solid, "potent" feel in larger waves.They were the gold standard in mat design until the mid 80's, when the first all nylon mats were developed.
