1974 and 1976 NABBA Universes Revisited  

Digital Download.

1974 and 1976 were two of the all-time classic years from the Golden Universe years of the mid seventies. Although we only show 5 minutes of the 1974 NABBA Universe, we follow with 55 minutes of the 1976 NABBA Universe. This is new, previously unseen footage.

The 1974 NABBA Universe footage also includes the Zeetonns - Norman and Sylvia Hibbert's balancing act (pictured below, bottom of page), and the Miss Bikini contest.  Sylvia Hibbert was the 1968 NABBA Bikini Universe winner.

Kellie Everts from USA was a noticeable standout in the '74 Bikini Universe in her own very special way. However she failed to impress the judges, even though she was a huge hit with the audience. Here is what was written at the time:
"When Kellie Everts came out to pose, she almost got a standing ovation, but the judges only gave her #5 out of nine! She laughed it off and vowed to turn it into a success. In her mind, the contest itself was a paid trip by Dan Lurie to learn something, make observations, and drum up publicity (for both of them). There are various ways of winning."

See some photos of Kellie below right and bottom of the page. She certainly helped raise the profile of the Bikini Class and garnered much extra publicity for NABBA. The Miss Bikini Class winner was Linda Cheeseman of UK. When I can find a good photo of her, it will be added to this page.

1974 includes the 2 Japanese champions - Shigeru Sugita and Kozo Sudo, Bertil Fox, Dale Adrian, the great Serge Nubret, Norman Hibbert and much more.

The champions from 1976 include Sugita, Herder, Sudo, Fox, Adrian, Nubret, Emmott, Dickerson and more. Classic muscle from some classic physique stars of the past.
