1985 Junior AAU Mr. & Miss America – and Couples

This video is notable for the early appearance of a future international champion – double Mr. Universe winner VICTOR TERRA. This emerging young American champion achieved his first major victory in USA.

In 1988 Victor won the OVERALL AMATEUR NABBA UNIVERSE TITLE,  and in 1991 he won the NABBA PROFESSIONAL MR. UNIVERSE title.

Held in Memphis, TN, in the summer of 1985, this was one of the early shows that Wayne shot on video in USA. This is the most popular and important AAU Junior Nationals event of the year. See an outstanding posing display by the stars of the future, back in 1985. Many of them besides Victor Terra went on to some major achievements later in their careers.

In the Couples section, Victor and Lisa Alvanos gave a sublime performance of grace, power and beauty.

In July, 2012 we digitally remastered the original video tape from 1985, improving the crispness of the images, as we had noted a slight dropping out of the colour in several places. This brief dropping to black and white several times is hardly noticeable, and does not in any way reduce the importance or the enjoyment of this classic DVD.

The Overall Winners were VICTOR TERRA and KARIN MITCHELL. Both were very worthy champions.

Overall Winner: Victor Terra pictured above.
