I was just referring to this as a general overall, not just your one event

it's not about the money.... or showing off but if you choose to do the two you might as well get paid

im out going riding

smart business does not regularly entertain an uncompensated liability.

If someone wants to host an exhibition, they should do it professionally, from the riders, to the insurance, to the risk mitigation, and the advertising.

Amateur practice is not something I'd invite the public to watch, because of the high risk factor. Pro's riding to entertain the public should be compensated, an industry standard payrate probably takes a while to develop. but it's a good thing to keep in mind when negotiating. You guys want to set the bar as high as you can.

you know how much it costs to cool a big warehouse, especially in arizona heat?

There is a good reason many many many shops are not air conditioned!

Well in VA he could get away with open doors, a breeze, and some big *** fans up top.
Or you could just hit up the stunt park at night... it can be 110 in VA but be nice and comfortable soon as night rolls around.

The Colbert's should be up visiting Todd's family... guess where they are from?! Fredericksburg... lol. I've talked to his wife (Stunt Blondie) and she sounds down for a stunt session hopefully Todd, her, and maybe even Ryan could bring their bikes and have an nice big Turkey Day session up here... that'd be nastyy.
