Nobody is going from NZ this year as its too expensive. It cost me thousands and thousands of dollars last year and I struggled to pay my rent for months afterwards! So not for me. Its a shame as last year we did reasonably well.

Real shame.No chance of sponsorship from anyone??

Hmm didnt mnz pay for the team at the junior champs.. Why dont they put some money into Enduros? We have some top riders here and they dont get any real help. Not like in America haha

[scott411]

no MNZ did not pay for the team for the Junior worlds, infact the team riders had to pay for a lot of the training,

Chris - what doyou think a realistic budget to compete in teh ISDE, i would presume you would not get much change out of $20K?? and that would be doing it on the cheap, That would not inlcude the amount of money you would spend on a practice bike back here,

Wow haha we need to find some sponsors... which is not easy in this economy..

Problem is guys, how many people even bother to be members of MNZ? How many people support NZ enduros? 300 people show up to Tarawera 100 and 100 show up to a National Enduro. People complain that licences are too expensive... but a graphics kit cost $300 and thats fine. Ha ha hit a nerve on this one!

Yeah about 15k to do a six day as a total privateer. BTW the last time NZ had a trophy team we came sixth. Quite a bit better than the MX des nations team...And it was a team of amautres but MNZ did sort out our entry fees.
