Please check out Skype, it is a great way for us to all communicate verbally for free across the country and the Globe.

All of us at RiderDown are on it everyday. It will be a way for all of us to communicate and plan the details for upcoming events. It even has live video if you are one of the brave one's.

Check it out at http://www.skype.com/helloagain.html

Thanks for joining the team.

Hi Cherie,

I can't begin to tell you how great it was to spend some time with you and how awesome I think you are. The energy and love that you show for the people of this sport and the sport is just incredible. If there was ever a living angel you are it. The way you have taken Cody and his family under your wing, you were one of the first people out on the track when a young man broke his leg this weekend and it just goes on and on. Your enthusiasm and energy is a glow that radiates from your ever present smile. You are one of a kind girl! Robbie should be selling RRsis tshirts. :Powerslide:

We are privileged to have you as part of our team. !=!

I really enjoyed meeting your family, the kid's were a kick.

Now, I'll stop embarrassing you.

[Macho393]

you got me here in Arkansas.....use me!

[Tatonka]

Macho - let me get back to you in a bit, I spoke with some track owners in Arkansas earlier this summer. We sent a bunch of stuff for them to use in support of Chase Borders. Maybe we can do some more?

[VintageDave393]

I'm ready to help you in San Antonio. It was good to meet you guy's at the GMB and I would be proud to help spread the word and be your guy in San Antonio.

Joe,

I could be a rep and helper here in So Cal. Your D-37 Dez rep as it were. Also an ARC Angel if you need one here.
First off I would like you to email me details on the KTM Raffle as everybody who races desert would love to have a KTM including my son who wants that bike bad. I think I could sell a few tickets out here. I would also add, my club Rovers MC is hosting a race Dec 10. I would like to talk about ways to get the word out ie: a spot on the flyer if it isn't too late and your flyers at sign ups. I have many other ideas but I won't get carried away. I could also piggie back the pennies idea to our D-37 possibly. I would have to clear that with my CEO (wife) to be a collection point here in D-37.

Hi Dane,

It was great to meet you out at the GBM. We would welcome your help out there.

I'll get some things together and email you a file that you can print some flyers and volunteer packs for now. Just email back your address and I'll get a package of flyers for your use and some wristbands you can give out as people donate.

We have conference calls on Weds night and would love to have you involved along with our Volunteer Coordinator, Angie. She will be the one that can really help you organize the efforts out there.

Thanks for volunteering and we look forward to working with you.

[Tatonka]

Hey Dane - click on the link at the top of the forum that is titled "Join RDF as a Volunteer". There is an online submission form that we are using to get a handle on everyones locations, interests, skills, etc.

[Dirtbikindad393]

Hey guys. I signed up to be a volunteer the other day. Well, I deicded if I am going to be a volunteer than I had better become a member of the forums! Thanks for having me. I look forward to helping in any way that I can.

I tried to click on the volunteer sheets so I could blow them up, print them out and pass them out at the Elmer Symons seminar on the 17-19 of this month. The pages links dont work for me for some reaon? Any ideas? Thanks Bruce, David and everyone else!

Oops one more thing...when I filled out my volunteer form, I didnt put a check next to the arc angel program. I would like to volunteer for that as well. Thanks!

[Tatonka]

Is that the thread & links you had trouble with? Let me know and if the trouble persists we'll email you thise items directly while we look into the problem.

Thanks again & stay in touch! :wink:

Hey Arkie,

Welcome and thanks for the heads up on the Volunteer link. It was a left over from our new site change over. I went ahead and revised it and there is now a pdf file you can open up, print and save if you like.

Thanks again and looking forward to you getting involved.

[ArkansasXC]

Thanks Joe. You guys are fast! I will print up the material from this page and the volunteer area to pass out at the coming seminar. Thanks again and Im glad to offer my services.

[50ccMoM]

I Filled Out The Form Twice And Havent Heard A Thing. I Would Like To Help. Please Let Me Know.benny:) :) :) :) :)

[wkndwarrior]

I signed on as a volunteer last year. I am from the Sun Valley Area here in Idaho and I race the Southern Idaho Desert Racing Associtaion (SIDRA) We have some great races here and some good riders show up causing alot of spectators to show, i.e. Worcs rounds, AMA Hare Scrambles, Idaho City ISDE Qualifier. I would like to help out if possible. I am looking at getting some shroud graphics for me and my son's bikes. I think the foundation is a class-act group. Please let me know what I can do. Thanks, Kevin.

Kevin,

There is alot you can do. We just split our volunteers into regions. We are getting ready to lauch a solid volunteer program. If you yourself have any fundraising ideas in your area, we would love to hear them ! :thumb

Thanks,

Angie

[racer mom]

I too have filled out the form and never heard anything. I'd love to help if I can get time too.

I live smack in the middle of Tatonka and Mommotox so don't think I just won't show up at their doors if I have too :)

Let me know what I can do. So far I've delivered an ArcAngel bag, but that's it and would like to do more.

[char393]

The same for me as well, I filled out the form quite a while ago.

I'm more than willing to help as I can.

[CrazyTed]

I know this is an old post but if you ever need any help around the Virginia area, I live in Virginia Beach, VA and am currently disabled/retired so I have plenty of time to help out. I am a volunteer member of the board of directors for the VA Championship Hare Scrambles Series. Any help I can provide I will. I have been a member of the message boards since the beginning but have been offline for a very long time. I'm back now!!!!

[KTMWade]

Hello all,

I also have filled out a volunteer form and just want to hit the "refresh button" on my desire to help whenever needed. The help that was extended from Rider Down last Christmas and the local push that took place for Ben Burdick got me hooked. Again, I am here if any help is needed

[173BigSis]

My husband and I have also filled out a volunteer form but have never been contacted. The local motocross track in London, Ky has recently been bought by Rick Teague from Tenn. He is the process of making a great deal of changes. I think a Riderdown booth would be a welcome addtion to the track. We wouldn't have a problem talking to him about it. I'm also willing to volunteer in the booth or anything else that might be helpful. My husband is a track medic so his time would be limited to what he could do on race days at the track but he also is eager to help out in any way.

[mommotox]

You all have no idea how grateful we are to have so many people who are so willing to help RiderDown help riders up! We haven’t forgotten about any of you, I promise!

Here’s what we can always use…people organizing fundraising events/booths at events. We are more than happy to provide flyers, stickers, anything we can to support you. We can sometimes provide some logistical help, too. However, there are only a few of us on the board, and we can’t do it all, unfortunately!

We can also always use people handing out flyers at their specific events they attend, too. A grassroots kind of effort will go far!

We will get in touch with you when/if we have events in your area that we need help with. If you know of a large, national event heading your way, feel free to ask us if we’ll be there. We can always use help at events that we will be attending! And, we do try to be proactive and contact the local volunteers to see if they can help out.

If you guys have ideas for fundraising and getting the word out, please let us know. We like for all events to be run by us prior to too much planning/effort, just to make sure it’s in-line with our mission.

[Tatonka]

We definitely need help in many areas, especially figuring out how to work with so many great people spread out all over the globe!
