    I would diffinitely shout, Riaan Van Niekerk a beer, that was good of him to stop and help Chris out.
    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

    I think you guys are missing the point, clearly most of NZ is more interested in
    Rugby
    More Rugby
    Someone who knows someone who plays Rugby
    Someone who knows someone who lives next door to someone who plays Rugby
    Someone that used to play Rugby but then moved next door to someone whose father used to play Rugby
    Someone who is thinking of taking up Rugby, but still unsure
    Some American basketball player no one has even heard of or gives a shit abouts struggle to live on only 10 million $us per year
    Someones cat stuck in a tree in Pennsilvania
    Whether or not All Whites should be pronounced All Fights(to be politcally correct)
    Followed by
    some guy did something on a bike, but is thinkjing of taking up Rugby


    Yawn....
    The problem with this nation and its inability to recognise world class athletes in anything other than Rugby is not new ....

    Do you think TVNZ go to all these rugby games and soccer games and record all the footage themselves??

    The whole problem is everyone in Motorcycling has this same attitude we think everything is going to get handed to us and TVNZ is going to come with there cameras and report on the races. Well guess what it doesnt work like that, if someone had pre warned TVNZ and organised a press release, some media quality interesting footage etc etc they would run the story.

    If you want your bike fixed do you think your mechanic is going to call you up and come pick it up? Or do you call him and drop it off? Andy wrote a good article in the Kiwirider last month about very similar stuff like getting yourself exposure etc in magazines etc They are not gonna come to you, you have to do some work yourself

    Haters you lot.!!
    Well I went to rugby today. There was 500 players at the park. Probably 500 at the next park. Its a nice balance having an interest in other sports. Get over it. Its a numbers game and unfortunately Off roading is in the minority.

    Chris had an pre Romaniacs interview on the Red Bull show last night for about 5-10 minutes. Was bloody good.

    But yeah still no matter what we do there will still be too much bloody rugby & congrats to CB I cant begin to imagine how tough an event like that would be and to beat world class riders like that is huge.

    Im surprised instead of doing one off extreme type events like this that Chris hasnt been picked up for a world enduro team or something

    CB rates about 50th in a ISDE event. Its not really his thing now days.
    His nich is extreme events and that makes its even harder to get coverage for the ltd participants.

    Don't get me wrong we all support him but again its the numbers thing. One way of helping the likes of CB and Mead etc is if we do more of the Red Bull City scrambles etc.

    Why can't we have a Romaniacs or an Ezberg here in NZ and make it an Iconic event? Thoughts comments??

    Hell yeah, reckon we'd have the gnarly terrain for it, big thing, would the riders pay to get over here?? If the sponsored rides are convinced, the rest will follow?
