Could we replace medals?  

  1. 1. Could we replace medals?

    • No medals are over rated and collect dust in my garage

    • Replace Medal with Finisher T-shirt

    • Medals for 1st/2nd/3rd place finishers only

    • Medal is great for serious stuff like completing the Epic

What is your opinion on Medals at fun rides?

They cost between R10 and R20 per medal(depending on the amount made) and get dumped in a box somewhere in the garage a week after the event.

Is there a way that event organisers can come up with something that is a better spend of money to give to finishers of funrides?

 

Give me your ideas!

Like the bottle idea, but can they be nice bottle that don't leak everywhere...

 

 

 

yeah, know I am being picky, but if they are dodgy bottles, then I will just end up sending them for recycling...

theres no choice of 'likes it'.  I do. I got a sh*tload and like having them. Wont mind a T-shirt either. What really is useless is the patches. wtf are we supposed to with them???

I likes them too. Should be an option in the poll.

The poll doesnt allow for "we're happy with medals leave it as it is".

 

So it's no good for gauging people's interest in medals.

 

Ur only asking people about variations of your own opinion, which is not to have them.

 

How very socialist/nazi/sabc'ish

Also not wild about using nouns as verbs

 

"He medalled"

 

"She podiumed"

 

Horribly clunky and brash (sounds like a good name for a firm of solicitors)

 

Blaaaarrrggh.

 

But I'll let Jagwil lead the charge on that one if he likes.

If the t-shirts are branded with sponsor's that is great, then I vote for a T-shirt.

 

I will give the t-shirt to my garderner and his mates - they will wear them all the time and increase exposure and sponsor companies will get value for money.

 

A medal - they are stuck behind a bookshelf somewhere

T-shirt need to be excellent quality before I wear it and I do not use these crappy bottle like the Hollard ones they give away or sell at bike stores. Give me R30 discount on my entry.
