WOW, you guys are too much... I will break it down for you...
$30 entry per rider less the $10 regular all day Newport Skate Park entry fee that goes to them = $20 per rider to ECX.
$20 x lets say 20 riders (thats what I am expecting since its a week away and no one has signed up yet) = $400
$400
- $200 Cash 1st Place
- $100 Cash 2nd Place
- $50 Cash 3rd Place
- $75 Trophies
=
-$25, yes, that is a NEGATIVE $25, in case you don't understand what that means, it means that IF I get 20 riders, I will loose $25 Now add in the fact that I will give away $100 worth of ECX T-shirts, $25 worth of stickers and have to pay someone $100 to work for me that day so I can run this contest for you guys, it will COST me somewhere between $250 and $300 so that you guys can have a good time. As for all the so called "Sponsor Money", there is none. Verde Bikes, Hoffmann Bikes, Aleination, DSA, and YAK have given us a few products and T-shirts to GIVE AWAY to you guys. As for RAZOR, they have given us NOTHING!
So before you guys start trashing us for MAKING A KILLING off of you please think about it for a minute. We are only doing this so that riders in this area can get together and compete and have a good time. If we manage to get more that 20 riders, maybe we can get closer to breaking even and not LOOSE MONEY.
Also, if we don't have 20 sign ups by the 7th we will most likely have to cancel the event, or at least adjust the prizes.
