Mtn Mick Charity fundraiser.

Well, as some of you may or may not already know, our good friend Mtn Mick was involved in a tragic accident prior to Master of the Hill. He's the man who discovered our lil gem "The PumpStation" and has beeen the host for countless sessions everytime people want to ride there, sweeping the track, hauling down equipment etc.
On friday afternoon (while setting up for Moth) he suffered a major wound to the foot (amongst many other injuries) after colliding head on with a streetluge, while he was riding his new speedboard.
They both colided at the fastest part of the track with a combined speed of over 100km/h. Micks foot went under the front of the luge and broke the front truck however in the process opened up his foot with a 7" gash.
To my knowledge he's still in hospital and will not be able to work for nearly 3 months!

After hearing the news, our community has banded together and donated equipment in a bid to have it auctioned off to raise funds to help him in his time of need.

There will be some premium equipment up for grabs with a reserve price to ensure we can raise enough to help out.

Listed below will be items available to bid on with their min. reserve price.
I'm going to list the items I have with me now on ebay and will post a link so you can bid.

Anyone else wanting to donate loot to this cause is more than welcome. Simply post up in here what you're donating and we'll work out how to list and auction it off.

ALL MONEY RAISED WILL BE DONATED TO MICK.

By popular demand I will have my paypal account available for donations.
