Fundraiser Idea.. yay/nay??
Riding pangor this morning gave me a great idea for a local fundraiser for either tools, bikes, whatever.

I dont know about you all, but I love seeing riding pictures of myself. I have very few. My fundraiser Idea is pretty much free as long as volenteers already have the eqiupment (which Im sure they do).

Take a trail like pangor. Shuttleable, easy to get to, and cool looking lines for everyone. Not to mention the lack of traffic compared to CBC and Neds. Have riders sign up at the top of the mountain for a photo session. Give them a number plate and send them down. Try and get some volenteers with d50s and whatever placed on the skinnies, rockfaces, and other cool features. Digital film is free everyone!! And the internet is the best way to send the photos out.

Take down the riders names as well as their number plate and organize the photos accordingly and post them up on nsmb. Each rider should get 5-10 good shots of themselves. And in order to participate they could pay a small fee (fundraiser part). Barby and Door prices at the end and its a party.

What you guys/girls think? I think its doable. Just need a cause and Im sure there is no lack of those.

I think thats a cool idea, something that the nsmba could probably do, maybe even just raising money for themselves, for trail maintenance. I don't know what kind of issues there would be regarding trail access and what not.

Any time I can see myself in action is great! I too need to update the shrine of myself and I would pay for the photos!

Great idea.

Haha, like rat says, execution is key. Im in no position to organize an event. I was just throwing out a good idea to the gods. Maybe see it happen in the future maybe not. I would love a big group like nsmb or nsmba to make it happen and happen good.

Thats weak.

I rank that up there with " someone should build a wicked gap over here"

I can tell you 10 different Ideas to fundraise for the NSMBA and Im sure sharon has heard 100.

Problem is it takes someone to commit alot of time and effort to make it happen.

I think it's a fantastic idea. I can't think of one person that wouldn't like to have a pro quality photo of themselves ripping it on the Shore. Judging by the quality of photos sent in to the Money Shot comp there is obviously some talent behind the lens out there and if a few of those people would volunteer for the NSMBA some good money could be made. How cool would it be to have a wicked photo of yourself that in the bottom corner said Rider: You Photo: S Lorence

Make it happen NSMBA!!!
