People often wonder why major sponsors of sporting events stop sponsoring events, and divert their funding into other sports
Yes I as one of the other major sponsor I agree with you shoey.
Some of the grown men on this forum need to stand back take a look at themself's and say is what I am pushing here in the best interest of the sport and more so the people who give up there free time to run these events.
The event was well run and well attented with people far and wide attending (special thanks for our NZ mates and the good foke of WA that turned up in numbers and special thanks to the WA guy's that pitched in and gave a hand to setup the track on Wednesday as this is what the sport is about).
Boy's this thread was about the event as a hole and not just a small part of the event. Go off and have your bitch session in other threads and lets hear of all the good this event did for all competitors and not just a choosen few.
The real winner was the died in the wool VMX riders that just wanted to compete at a nationals and could not give a rats arse about the difference in a year of a bike, but are true to their make and living the dream of riding an era of bike that they loved and still love.
It is great news our old mate that had the big off on Sunday is ok and on the mend. I too had a big fall on Friday that stopped the racing for a while, to all the officials thankyou for the assistance and to all the people who showed concern for my health over the weekend my thanks also to you. this is the part of the sport that will keep me coming back and plans are already in motion to be at the 2010 nats in Vico so look out Hoony.
Thanks to all the other sponsors, workers, organising clubs officals and people that gave their time free of charge to make this event one to remember.
So lets put the crap about bars and 10mm of extra travel to bed and hear some of the good light hearted moments that happened over the weekend.
