I have ridden in all The master Games Vinduros and I would not say they were easy by any manner .
Stu, I think He meant their track not the masters, But good question why do so many pay a heap to ride the masters? Promotion maybe?
Lawrie, The track you laid out was awesome. Just the right mix for a trail ride. I contacted maybe 10 guys who were just not able to make it on that Wend and you could add to them other who have would come with them. But that's just it, it can't be the same guys that must turn up or it fails.
Maybe that's the thing for those of us that want these events get on the phone and tell people about them. When you see it on forums or Facebook comment and share.
Tell people how good they are. Build a gang who meet up at the rides. I think this is even more important when it is a trail ride.
I am starting to promote the Vinduro Sprint and I admit I'm useless at it, because every time I run it I have people tell me they didn't know it was on. This year has been hard because of other commitments I have not been able to make it to the VMX events to explain their MX bike wont fall apart if they ride them for more than 10mins they didn't in their day and they won't now. Add to that I don't really like annoying people about it all the time. Anyone want a job?
I still believe there is a place for competition Classic enduros and we sell our sport short by not having them. Well, by not having competitions it's not a sport at all.
In SEQLD we have a great trail ride series so I would rather trail ride my modern and race my old bike.
