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.

ALL MONEY RAISED WILL BE DONATED TO MICK.
By popular demand I will have my paypal account available for donations.

Okay folks, It looks like we need to sort this out.
Ebay items have shipping cost listed. I'm gonna ship the ebay decks out via courier and pay shipping myself.
Auction winners please discuss with item supplier shipping cost etc before you make payment.
I think if everyone who is supplying items takes care of shipping, I can re-imburse them once total payment is received from the buyer.
I'd like to get Mick cash asap because it's these early stages where he's prob gonna need it the most.
Because of some very generous donation made, some items have been paid for and relisted!!!
So, If we call it a wrap on Ebay items and Bids for items 1-8 from stage 1, and start a second stage auction. Beginning with
1. Duff's Luge.
2. Phil C's Green Buttboard
3. Haggy's DH Helmet
4. Sparks Buttboard (relisted after Ado's very generous $205 donation after winning the auction!!!)
I have this item at my place still.
Lets let this 2nd stage Auction roll until Sat. 7th, 12am midnight. -

Just got an important note from Fitz. The details for over-the-counter deposits into his bank account have changed. Over-the-counter deposits must now be done at the NAB, with the following details:
Gareth Fitzgerald
BSB: 082 170
AC#: 330 119 503
(Please include note that it is for Mountain Mick, and include the auction item number.)
Any over-the-counter deposits that people have already done will need to be reclaimed from the branch they did it at.
Net-transfers are unaffected. -
