Hi Everyone,
Thank you for all the comments.
I would say it is a bit more expensive in terms of travel costs for me as I live in Canada ( and on the other side, Vancouver ) and all the competitions are in Europe. And I am by no means going to five star hotels; photos attached is how I lived in Europe the last two years for the competitions (which was all self funded).
Yess is not my company, as they are a BMX company (www.yessbmx.com) but I have helped them create a trials frame: www.yesstrials.com. If you don't want to donate, buying a frame will also help me, as I will put my earnings towards my travel expenses.
Canada Cycling does not give fund Trials riders ( although I have tried to convince them ) because it is not an Olympic sport, yet.
I am trying to grow the sport of trials in Canada, and part of that is being able to show Canadians that we can go overseas and compete with the best in the world.
Any help/support is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jeff
