I have to say that nswmtb have done a bang up job. The lithgow state round was a great success. After the hats at thredbo, the class of kit given to each of the podiums was great! The fact that you had 250 plus riders made the transport a bit tricky and who would have thought another chopper was going to be required.....
Keep up the good work!
cause without D/H i'd have nothing to do on weekends.

Wish I would have seen this post earlier.
Norco Australia supplied nearly $1,000 retail value of assorted gear (gloves/bottles/socks/hyration packs/armour/stickers/hookers) as prizes and giveaways on the race day at Lithgow. I cold-called Flynny of ctmtb and Insane Cycles expressing my interest in supporting their round, in lieu of the criticism given to RawNRG, after Thredbo. We weren't asked to do this, although Flynny did say he was going to call me anyway.
It had nothing to do directly with NSWMTB government or their cronies. I have no problem with what NSWMTB are trying to acheive, but it disappoints me when industry get behind this sport and credit is not given to the right people/orgs. This is why alot of industry has been reluctant to donate product in the past. It costs actual money - and because we're in business also (yes - we strive to turn a greedy profit from you all
) we'd appreciate a return on our investment. That can be as simple as basic recognition for support to the right area.
Flynny was the one mainly responsible for sorting prizes out at Lithgow, after negotiating with me. Give him the credit for that day's success rested largely on his shoulders. Well done THECAT!!!
ALL HAIL THECAT and the INSANE BOYS!!
It was a terrific round, and we'll hopefully be sticking our heads up with more gear at Stromlo so look out. We, Norco Australia, see the need for industry suppport to make YOUR sport productive. At your next race, DH XC whatever, take note of the support and give thanks. Then those donating will know you're
