1997 NABBA Australasia: Men’s Pump Room

Without doubt the best Men’s Pump Room video we have ever produced in Australia or any where else in the Southern Hemisphere!

This really is “up close and personal” with most of the top guys back stage. We talk with the winners – and the losers; we see the intense preparations, and the amazing camaraderie that exists between all the competitors – even though they have been fighting a life and death battle on stage. At the end of the day they are all good mates as we say in Australia!

The Overall Mr Australasia winner was JUSTIN WESSELS. Pictured on the front cover is Kym Johncock, Masters Winner.  Justin Rogers the Juniors winner is pictured on the rear of the cover.

11 years later, JUSTIN WESSELS again won the National titles in winning the 2008 NABBA OVERALL MR AUSTRALIA.
