Post I have a funding source for a push race!
on: November 4, 2011, 11:37

I've been talking with ODOT lately and I have around $500 in sponsorship for a push race.
There are a few requirements that might make it a bit tricky.

1. Race must be legal (approved by city with permits etc)

2. Race should encourage using skateboards as practical transportation (Push race rather then downhill)

3. All funds need to go through a non profit.

Anyone have any ideas how we can make this happen. I don't know how long this offer is good for but I imagine we could plan for next summer?

Also since it is Oregon department of transportation I think it has to be in Oregon.

Springwater sounds good to me! Now who knows a non profit we can use?

The reason why we are getting this grant is that we are promoting alternative modes of transportation. I don't think a DH race would qualify. ODOT seems to be excited at the prospect of a push race.

Not sure what you mean "for nothing" I like push races, I want to see more of them. I am still having a problem finding a non profit that is responsive. I might go through the BTA Bicycle Transportation Alliance. They are the only ones so far to return my calls. Much of their mission is compatible with pushing.
I'm still open to ideas or if anyone wants to play a role in the planning / execution of the race.
