bike wrecking meet pics

With the front in the air? really?

Think of the momentum a spinning front wheel has. Now stop it suddenly.

Don't practice it, it does hurt and it will stuff your fork seals.

See you there tonight. I have to apply for my all too important race licence.

[FROSTY:Me]

Ok guys n gals heres the deal--right from the horses mouth.
The old main straight of pukie is ruled out--its a no go zone
Paula Ireland is Pukekohe track manager her phone numbers are 0274745255 and 092380553
I only gave her very vague description of what was intended but on that basis she gave me an estimate of what would be involved to run an event there
1) track hire will be about $4000 for the day--from 10am (start bikes) to 5pm shut down. roughly speaking if 50 guys turn up to do it itll cost $80 each
2) we do need to organise public liability insurance at our expense
3) we need to organise st johns and a fire/rescue unit to be there
4)VERY important--the track is to be in the same condition as when we arrived -Rubbish to be picked up/and NO track damage -so burnouts will need to be on the concrete pads
Hey it looks like a lot of red tape and expense but I don't really think its insermountable--and lets face it --it is the perfect venue

yeah.. you can see this method used by MotoX stunters when doing crazy mid air tricks. Applying the brake to the rotating wheel trasnfers the rotational intertia from the wheel to the frame and brings the nose down. They counteract it by blipping the throttle which tips the nose back.

Thank you very much for finding out the details xjxjxj!

Getting 50 people organised just to go on a normal track day can be a hard enough task. However we can get the numbers for something like this cause just about anyone can go to a trackday and have fun.

50 people going there just to perform stunts? That is going to be very, very difficult. How many people out there are willing to go and do this anyway?

Thats just how I saw it.

I would love to hear it from more people and see what they think.

Pukekohe is still a possibility but I would like to know the costs for the other venus before deciding anything. I'll do some homework on this in the weekend.

100% correct. I'd look into Meremere as D/Monkey suggested. It'll only cost a grand and you just say no 1/4 miles so you dont need St Johns in attendance. There's gotta be some spunky nurses willing to come and stunt it up with you guys anyway. Then youve only got to find 10-15 people to play silly buggers all day.

As I said, count me in!

Draco is a qualified paramedic (Ambulance officer for 14 odd years...)so no probs with that side of it.I think St johns will provide an ambulance for a small donation too.....

We can have different rounds for different classes.

Pro Round
Guys entering this will be judged and there will be cash prizes given to the best of the best. They will get access to the track all day long and can enter Intermediate and beginner rounds.

Intermediate Round
These guys will be in it just for the fun of it but still would like to put on a show for the crowd. They pay 75% of what the guys would pay in the Pro Round. They do not get to compete in the Pro Rounds but can still enter Intermediate and Beginner Rounds. They will be judged but there will be no prizes for them.

Beginner Round
This group of people will basically be anyone with a bike willing to have a go. They can not compete in Pro or Intermediate rounds. They pay 50% of what the Pro Round guys pay. This will not be a competition so they will not be judged.

Spectating
A small cost of something like 5 bucks maybe put in place for those who would like to come for a watch.

This way we can still have people of all skill levels having fun on the day while boosting up the numbers and having the cash to pay for it all.

Hmm--I was thinking about that--what if we did a combined day -like as in 15 minute sessions like we did for track day --maybee 2 sessions for stunting then one session for a track ride--might be more people interested that way.
Id for sure come along--just to get some track time to fettle my bike.
the stunting could be done in a series of runs down the left side of the start finish straight --with the run back to wait your turn on the right hand track edge.track might even be wide enough to have 2 guys stunting side by side

Here is an Example:

If we hire out Merimeri for say 1000 bucks.

We just need about 5 Pro riders to pay $80.00 = $400

We need 5 Intermediate riders to pay $60.00 = $300

We need 10 Beginner riders to pay $40.00 = $400

We need about 20 Spectators to pay $5 each = $100
-------------------------------------------------------
Total = $1200

The left over money will need to go to Prize money/organising costs for the event and any money made after that will go to Kiwibiker.

Do you reckon this is realistic?

Perfect! When's it start, give me a bit of practice time first.

The inaugral Kiwibiker stunt challenge. Ohhhh-yeahhhh!

[FROSTY:Me]

Very important question --how much actually is meremere to hire??
Really need to get the facts here
Remember someone estimated pukie as being like $1500 for the day.
It does make a HUGE difference I think if it is run as a non ACU sanctioned event--ie it isnt covered under acu public liability insurance.
Im pretty sure we would need a paramedic actually sighned in for that event

[FROSTY:Me]

raises a little point -I wonder what would be involved in making kiwibiker an acu/MNZ affiliated club ? --probably totally pie in the sky but imagine how much easier getting a race licence would be

No worries, I'll have it sorted by this weekend at the latest. The above costs are just for an example. Although I do expect the costs to be similar. I am hoping that the number of people will be higher as well.
