Ray J Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Agreed, it was great!Personally I'd prefer less pedally stages and possibly have more stages (but shorter) with additional liason stages but I know the logistics of setting up additional stages. The event was awesome and hopefully the trails we used will see some more wheels in future Thanks to all involved in the admin behind these races! On to GIBA in 2 weeks!!!! Nooooo... the pedally helped me hehehe... But ja more stages would be rad but logistically it would be a nightmare but then increase the event fees! That top section, i would pay to ride any time! I have a friend that is keen to get some exposure for his company and is prepared to spend some money on the sport (Not millions but something) He has just got an Enduro bike so i think I will have him ready for GIBA Will be in touch with the powers at be...

nigelhicks Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I have a friend that is keen to get some exposure for his company and is prepared to spend some money on the sport (Not millions but something) He has just got an Enduro bike so i think I will have him ready for GIBA Will be in touch with the powers at be... Well he can get in touch with me and we can chat at Giba. He must come and ride, see the vibe etc and then we can take it from there! I can introduce him to our other sponsors too ... So we can def make a plan for a sponsorship for 2016
nigelhicks Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Oh and FYI - to run an event like that - is HELL expensive ... Shuttles alone for the day are 10k!Timing is at least that again! Then track prep was 15k ... Prize money (ok that was exorbatent but still) Then medical and marshals SO to run something like that you are in for between 50 to 100k So unless we get a sponsor willing to dish our half a bar for a series I think we will have to make do with what we have so far ... hahaha
Maniac Merv Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 You can find all the results for the weekend on the gret-time website: http://great-time.co.za/Home/ It was a really great event.
