To start off with , I would like to say that this is not a criticism of CD6 in any way . As I posted in an earlier thread, CD6 was probably the most fun that I have had at a dirt bike related weekend in over 30 years of riding and racing bikes. Anyone who had anything to do with the running of the event need a big pat on the back for putting together such a fantastic weekend. But I had a few ideas rattling around in my head that maybe could be incorporated in CD7 .
1. Would it be possible to have someone with a movie camera take footage of the event & put together a professionally made DVD that could be sold to the public ? I know that I'd buy a copy . This should not require any extra effort or cost by the event organisers, but would obviously require their permission . The Whitsunday Classic event , has had Brad Howard (Headshot Productions) do up a DVD of each year's event at Proserpine & the quality is pretty good . I think he is based on the Gold Coast and specialises in motorcycle & extreme sports footage, so he might by a possible candidate for Conondale . I think it would be great way to have a record of the bikes, the people & some on track action to best remember the weekend . Also wouldn't it be good to see something like a Glen Bell helmet cam, fast lap of the track ?
2. I thought that the number of swapmeet items were down a bit at CD6 . I think this might have been because there was so many things to look at over a big area and good tracks to ride on . Who would want to be stuck selling items when there was heaps more other fun things to do ? So, what would be the chances of a cork notice board at VMX central, with for sale & wanted sections that you could pin a list to ( & a time you are available ), so that buyers & sellers could more easily meet ? It would probably need a site map with a grid reference, so people could find one another easily.
