agree'd and casual day race license fee's are a total ripoff, auscycling will do less, the state's appear to be running cycling, cycling vic/nsw--CA has as much money as mtba

where do you want to run it - I'm in, ill do timing & run the thing....Moorey's backyard?
Can't be any less productive than what MTBA are and have been, they do zero for mountain biking in Australia. I have an MTBA license to save on day license fee's and in the back of my mind I know I have some coverage if I have a crash.
Since my early days riding bikes, I've only ever considered MTBA an insurance company. They give you the same benefits as a car insurance company for your car, your house insurance etc etc. In summary, they take your money and give you FUCK ALL.

I’ve got no issues with merging with AusCycling it just the fee increase that I don’t like. It very big rise for juniors, double in one case. I’d be surprised if they do that much extra to make up the difference. If you road ride or bmx I think you save, but not if you only ride/race MTB

has some good things to say
The diagram shows a corporate structure. Both road and bmx have national and state based clubs, each with boards of management and a corporate structure. Within each state there are the community based affiliate clubs.
In mountain bikes...we don't have that. It's just the MTBA at a national level and then all the community based affiliate clubs.
And most of those clubs are affiliated primarily because the MTBA provides insurance, coaching and some event support in a manner that time and resource poor club committee members can access and afford. A club's MTBA affiliation costs are small in the context of the overall costs of actually running a club (given that the club members cover most of it through their licence fees) so it makes good sense from a committee's perspective to be a part of it.
However, we would never (as a club) expect the MTBA to advocate on our behalf at a local or even state level for trail access, MTB development , promotion etc or support us financially if things went awry. That's all on us...

Well, shit. I wasn't too concerned about my race licence, but I'm also paying for two under 11. $50 each now, $75 after.here are the ne proposed prices cycling one prices

We did the sums, I'd get less than half of what I'd actually need to survive.

heard of active kids voucher?

2 years ago mine were $50, they turned 13 and jumped to $105 + club.
I don't do too many events nowadays and would probably be quids in paying day membership but been a member of AMBC and might as well continue with it.
Back after a 5 year break for the Coomie in a few weeks, done it 11, 12 & 13 but I heard there's a few faster locals these days
maybe I should do some training...Some 'rides' now use MTBA as the insurer, the Melrose FTF needs you to be a member now, or pay event insurance.

The $50 Sports Voucher here in SA is accepted by CA, but not by MTBA (That's the last info I had, so may have changed)

Yes, I agree but why not show the community based affiliate clubs that reside under MTBA, they aren't any different to the equivalent BMXA or CA local club? Also surely that diagram would've been a prime opportunity to show how the new structure would simplfy things for those who are currently members of multiple clubs.
Actually as they are our peak representative body that's exactly what I expect, I've just come accept that they won't.

Thankfully our club fees are subsidised by the local Sporting Club.
Yeah, Nah, training is overratedBack after a 5 year break for the Coomie in a few weeks, done it 11, 12 & 13 but I heard there's a few faster locals these days
. I'm hoping the bloke who won Melrose Solo 18hr still has some fatigue in his legs. Did you see there's a Rego dinner the night before?While the club is based in NSW, my family is not, and there's nothing on offer in Vic outside of school sport.

BJ might have recovered by then... but if he's only running at 95%... you never know.Yeah, Nah, training is overrated
Besides, with the new age structure and it being a point getter for the MTBA Marathon Nat Cup, I have just sneaked in to the 45-54 cat. Way too old to bother you's blokes.
We'll be up on Saturday, Few laps, few beers and eat, ride Sunday.

haha yeah, forgot people live in other states
My take on this whole thing is concerns of the added cost to MTB licences. Might be $10 this year.. but who knows next. I used to have CA, BMX and MTB but those days are gone, I guess if I had those other licenses this looks very attractive. Time will tell..
