Hello Chris,

I am not sure what information I would need to get back to you with. Please email me with the required information so I can respond as soon as possible. When we spoke today you said that the GBA could include the Traws event in our 2003 Championships. Has something changed since we spoke this morning?

I don't believe there are splinter groups. As we spoke today it seems the interest of many Gravity bikers in the UK is simply, to race. We have seen that the more races that can be held the more interest the sport receives. We have also seen that the average Gravity Biker wants to see their points with all other gravity bikers. At this time all other Gravity Bikers are racing in the GBA and your riders have also been included in the GBA since they started. Now because of personal politics between the BGSA Staff and the IGSA organization will take this World Series away from your Riders.

We have worked very hard to promote gravity biking all over the world. You can find the Traws event on the front page of GravityBike.com as we speak. The GBA has never asked you personally, the BGSA, or any other GBA member for any money. (I would be happy to pay you for the phone call today after all we spoke on your dime for a very long time.) I do not mind spending my own money to build this sport. I do it because I love it I don't expect appreciation or Gratitude I don't expect a pat on the back. But my members do expect a lot from me as it should be.

Chris when we spoke today you assured me that you were still on board with the GBA. Your post on this board is giving me the impression that you don't really feel this way.

As a GBA representative and someone who has promised commitment to the GBA I feel it is important that you hear our members that you have promised to represent.

If your position in the BGSA interferes with your position in the GBA. Then you should express this to your UK GBA members and assist them with the nomination of a UK GBA representative who can be non biased.

I think it is only fair that GBA members according to policy, should have a say in the future of UK Gravity Bike Racing.
