Groot Lem Posted October 28, 2008 Share I heard that because all CSA money were spend to send useless elites to worlds, theres no money left to send men to the all africa champs. So now Craven can go win for NAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The African champs are important because its outcome can contribute to the number of riders we send to the World champs. (Which, I suppose may not be relevent anymore after this years distasterous selection and consequent flop!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Dassie Posted October 28, 2008 Share It's amazing that with the growth of the sport we still limp along like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather offer a solution with a criticism Groot Lem. It's more constructive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craven Posted October 29, 2008 Share Sorry, I don't understand what the problem is? I think it is a great pity, but have heard some explanations that sounded reasonable to me (not for me to go into). I have had to find private sponsors for my trip to Morocco and will be going on my own. Never easy to do, but I think that the effort will be well worth it! I owe a lot to First Cut, Splashworks and Rosewall Agencies who are making this campaign possible for me. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can not remember where I got my avatar from but those two names do not sound familiar. Look forward to you getting a well deserved result in Morocco, we will truly be rooting for you. What would be good is if you could start a thread keeping us up to date on your progress (training and sponsorhip)and maybe a report on how it went.
