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.

Bugs said:I reckon the auction for Duff's luge should end separately from the other items as it's only been posted for a few hours.

After hearing of micks acco I went home and started making a Buttboard for the Auction. However I f@#ked up the stain so I had to sand it all back and do it again. I spoke to Fitz who thought it'd be best just to give it to Mick, But I think if someone wants to buy it or bid on it Mick could probably do more with the cash. If nobody wants to buy it it'll go straight to mick.
It is a Darren Lott copy, made from industrial ply with a ply stringer.
Blue Stain, Red hand rails, Wheel cut outs so larger wheels can be used and a rubber mat.
Reserve $60 + shipping
Highest bid on Friday 6th feb at 8pm gets it and funds will be forwarded to mick. -
