Re: Large Scale Tokyo Japan Stunt Event
I just got into this sport with about 4 moths of actual stunting. I am by all means nowhere near most of you guys. I am still learning O's for gods sake!! BUT I have such a passion for the sport and its ability to become a professional game that come spring of 2006, I will promise all of you will know who I am. I have such a hunger to be incredible and all my spare time is dedicated to this sport. So when this opportunity is given, I will be there for sure!!

Re: Large Scale Tokyo Japan Stunt Event
Another question for everyone, if large sums of money are offered for placing in the top 3 or 5 then do you think a entry fee is justified? Or if we can coordinate that the entered riders pay for thier own air fare or their own shipment of thier respect motorcycles (ofcourse at the discounted prices) then the entry would be waived?
Because obviously a rider from NY, France, etc....we would have to pay more to ship thier bike and pay thier air fare versus someone in California per say.
And we will have Japnese riders too so thier cost is dramatically lower than others....
Any thoughts??

Re: Large Scale Tokyo Japan Stunt Event
Entry fee's are $20 here in the States.
What kind of entry fee are you talking about. Hundreds or thousands?
What are large payouts to you, money wise?

Re: Large Scale Tokyo Japan Stunt Event
Enties are relative to the payouts usually...but I don't think we will do the entry fees for those coming from outside Japan, just have the inviduals support some of thier own expenses.
And the payouts.....example Best Individual Rider $5000 USD.
With all catagories top 3 or 5 will receive payout pending the total of the riders attending. And individual awards also. I.E. Best Trick, longest endo, etc.
Remember the sport can only rise if the standards do to. That is why we must expect more. I assure everyone this will be well worth it. Additionally just to get the venue we need costs over $75,000 USD per day! And this opportunity will lead to bigger and better things for all.

Re: Large Scale Tokyo Japan Stunt Event
We have to secure an indoor site as to ensure the weather conditions do not effect the event. That is a huge cost in itself.
I hope that the sponsors for some of the teams and riders will support their guys with monetary funding for the trip. I assure them that the media coverage alone will be well worth it to them as well.

Re: Large Scale Tokyo Japan Stunt Event
When you say indoor event what type of surface are you talking about? Polished concrete won't work. They tried that in Houston and it limited some of the "best" the XSBA had to offer. But on another note I spent 7 yrs in Japan in Chiba, Machida, and the Mt.Takao area. Four in the Military and two roadracing and one in rehabilitation for a leg/foot injury. Those that make the trip, not that I know it all, but don't take your girl's with you, unless you have no choice. That's like taking sand to the beach and I know you get what I'm sayin'...........Late.............Free

Re: Large Scale Tokyo Japan Stunt Event
Are you familiar with the Saitama Super Arena? That is our first choice. They said they can accomodate it. Thanks for the heads up on the surface I will look into it and change the venue preferance if it cannot conform to this.

Just to be safe we will have to set some guidelines I am sure.....I don't want anyone getting in to trouble while they are here.

Re: Large Scale Tokyo Japan Stunt Event
This definately sounds like a promising event, but like robert929lewis mentioned, there has been a few indoor events here in the states lately that was combined with the FMX tour and from what i heard, every one of them was on a really slick surface, and took alot away from the show due to that...And if your wanting to include a longest endo comp., that is really going to be an issue...But again, this sounds like a great opportunity, so props to you for getting involved

Re: Large Scale Tokyo Japan Stunt Event
Thanks for the inputs....well we have decided to pray for good weather we will hold an outdoor event because the arenas all have bad surface for this.....we might end up doing this at a famous Japanese race track like Tsukuba, Suzuka, or Motegi!

Re: Large Scale Tokyo Japan Stunt Event
Sounds like a good plan man. Hope things shape up.. I lived in Yokosuka for 3yrs and having an event in Tokyo would be amazing. Trust me if I was good enough I'd be all over this
