Who's doing the ISDE for NZ?

[scott411]

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.

Chris thanks for the pricing, but to be fair on the MX guys, the MXdN team have got a couple of podiums over the years, and they do not get to much funding from MNZ direct either, some from Sparc the year after they do good, and i am pretty sure you got 6th on home soil, the junior mx team jsut got 3rd on home soil.

and there are shit load more mx riders, a group of people are starting to fund rasie for the MXdN next year, the enduro guys need to do the same if they want to send teams every year,

and the reason i do not do enduro's is becaue i am to dumb , a cross country is much more easier for me to understand, (shotgun start, go as fast as you can untill you see the black and white flag, if anyone does nto beleive i am dumb, just think back to the endurocross, turning up with only riding 5 times in the past 8 months with no physical fitness was pure stupidity,

But Chris, if you come and do my supercross like you said you would when you were drinking after the endurocross, ill ride the enduro of your choice,

Gee I went into the Riverhead TTR as my first enduro and picked it up by the end of the race, isnt hard to pick up at all? If I can get it so can you! LoL!

Gota agree with ya on that one scott. Too much thinking invovled with an enduro, though I might just fry my brain and do a couple next year.

Another beef I have is who your riding with on your minute or who's on the minute behind you. If theyre in a grade above they'll more than likely catch you, or you'll get in their way. Or are Enduro's seeded now?

[t595]

yip seeded now

yip seeded now

That makes it alot better.

Enduros are mean! Get so much riding time, I enjoy them more than XC's. Gotta do the lap and beat the deadline, so much fun.

sigh I wish I could ride again.. Sucks !

what's the deal on the knee vin- acl?

[peadub]

Maybe the classes need a rehash to encourage more family participation?
An EJ (Junior Enduro) class? , Ladies? Under 21?
A 125cc 2T MX class could be a low cost entry level class!

It's not to good mate. I've snapped my medial ligament, and he thinks I may have done my ACL. He wants to confirm that next friday.

I'll either be out of riding for 9 months with an operation, or 3 months without...

not good.........

[D dub]

plus you get about 4- 4.5hrs of ride time for $55 compared to maybe 3 10-15 min motos for about $30 and having to wait most of the day to get them.

Thats if your into getting more bike time for your dollar????

The last enduro I did was more like 5-5.5 hours!!!! Not!!!
Someone has to come last eh, but I dont care these are allways awesome events and the tracks are normally way better than trail rides!!

The guts of it is

Support your national organisation-pay the fees it's peanuts. The more money they have the more they can do for us
Support your local club-I've been a member of the WMMC for years - done nothing been to no meetings but paying the sub gives them money to do stuff
Support the guys like Tony or the clubs who put events on by turning up to events and paying your money
If you don't like the rules get involved in the admin side of the sport and change things

cheers
