Hope it's ok to post this here even though it's not really a ride. Brad could you post the info you've got on this. I'd really like to start trying to sell tickets, do a bit of promo work ect. If it definently a goer. Even though I wont ride I'm still keen to be involved.
Has this already been posted if so, I'kll just kick myself in the ass

All right guy's... the deal is, that we have got a demo on in sept.... Friday the 12 if my memory serves me correctly.
The only payment that the club can provide at this stage is in the form of a bar card, $200-300 ish. They are able to print up tickets for us to sell though... which will cost $5 and will give the person entry and a free drink on arival. They can provide us with as many tickets as we want, and we can keep the money from those we sell to use for what we like.... may I suggest putting it back into the boxes.
As yet I haven't heard back from Mark the guy I'm dealling with, but I will get onto him.
Now when the night comes, there can be as many riders as we want pretty much.... be aware only getting bar card as payment... your doing this for the club.
I suggest around 5-6 of us, otherwise it gets too crouded. They want us to ride from around 930-1000 ish till 1100, with a semi comp show session, to decide the winner or the best rider of the night. They win the big $200 bar card. We have a DJ spinnign what ever we want to ride to.

There will be an opertunity to get on channel 10 Chilli Factor... at some stage I believe... and providing that it goes well which I believe that it has been, then they can secure more sponership and be able to pay us.
Eventually Mark wants to be able to take a show in the road, sort of like the pepsi max show. Visiting regional centres and throughing parties... etc
Oh also I work friday nights till 8, so there will have to be others helping to set the gear up... and I can ride when I get there. Prob wont be able to get there until 915 ish.

and with the zanzi bar demo.. wat is this bar card?
is that like $200 worth of drinks.. like bar tab?
cos if it is.. wicked!.. haha.. the winner has got to finish it by the end of the night and participate in the wet t-shirt contest.

Oooohhh big ambitions! Will they hold out?
Chill factor would be kewl. I'd been thinking of contacting channel 10 for a while, but never got to it.
In my opinion, bar cards suck; you'll never manage to get the full price out of them.... IE try to talk them into paying MONEY if you can. It'll be good just to ride anyway whatever they pay with though.

Oh, and just a thought; how about a "bike battle" kinda thing where everybody has a certain amount of time to do what they want? That would make something great to watch...

Do my ears deceive me, is someone slamming a bar card. Bar cards are the holy grail for the trials rider, do not slander such a thing in my presence.
It will be awsome if it gets TV exposure, this will be excellent, you guys will be the center of attention at the bar, think of all those horny young men robin

Robin.... no money this time... you no read??
They haven't got funding to pay us anything more than bar card/drinks tab (yes it is marcus), but we can keep the money raised from selling tickets, read keeeeep the MONEY... so for eg if we sell 50 tickets at $5/ ticket = $250 bucks for us. PLUS the Bar card.
Also the battle thing is igsactly what they had in mind to dicide who gets the bar card.... don't know about time limit... ride till you cant pull anthing more impressive... we'll tell you to get stuffed if you suck!
And I think that the card will be shared... agreed.

Fine, let's all just have a session of TAKING THE PISS OUT OF the junior...
I did understand what you meant with selling tickets and stuff; but I just doubt we'll be able to get full return for them. Don't mind either way though; should just be fun (to watch OR ride). And I still want to see big boy prove he can take four guinness in four minutes...
