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,

Yeah I can understand why corss countrys are more appealing to some. Totally fair enough. Very interesting to read peoples opinions.
I am hoping to do the world hard enduro championship next year so maybe folding myself in half an a SX track may be a bit silly. Is there anywhere to practice SX in Auckland? And the 6th (I think) was in Greece. We got spanked in NZ after we lost DK on day 3.

if MNZ is run anything like SNZ (speedway nz) its no wonder people can find it hard to get their heads round things, id love to do enduros but seem to think im not good enough to play with the big boys etc, maybe its more of a mind-set thing?? or do we need to harden the fk up and get on with it?

How about a combined Cross Country/Enduro championship? NZORC?
10 Rounds (using existing events) - 4 x Enduros 4 x C/Country 1 x Two-man and an Endurocross maybe
The top three Experts would get a MNZ funded ticket to the ISDE
The top Clubman a sponsored ride for the following year?

The catch is where would the series be held.

and who would run it, who would come up with the prize, (45000 is not that easy to find),

a overall off road champion would be a pretty cool thing tho, maybe even though a mx in there somewhere to,

The last round could be a round of the MX Nationals........ with plenty of spectators and TV coverage
MNZ would run it It is only a combination of existing series
