I occasionally read this guys blog, he sounds kinda like Phunk sometimes.

I really should sit down and work our how much Vorb has cost over the years. All I know that it if wasn't for the Vorb Foundation and a substantial personal debt I incurred it wouldn't be here Smile

Well done Tama, you (and 'your helpers') have done more to promote kiwis being healthy and active than the whole organisation of SPARC! Double Thumbs Up

Working out how much something you love has cost is like sitting down with your girlfriend and reminiscing about the bad times. Novel, probably useful in the grand scheme of things. But such follies come with a high chance of... trouble.

Holy parc. I worked there for a bit, after leaving BikeNZ. I knew their staff were well paid, but never imagined that it was quite that figure. Just think what one of the top salaries could do for mountainbiking in NZ?!?


Anyone care to join me for a quick riot?

Hmmm... $5.5million for a website (or maybe two) or $6k of sporting equipment for every single primary school in the country.

I know which will have a better, and longer lasting impression, and actually improve the health and fitness of our kids!
