I have to agree with Wayne With a fund for our kids to go to Europe. I have brought this up before on Trials Comp. But I do think the kid going should start the fund. I think if a US rider is going to go to Europe even if he / she is over 18 could start a forum and ask for donations.
I would definatly send some money. They could post how they are going to plan the trip. How much they think it will cost. When someone donates they could simply post the name of the person(s) who donated. Keep everyone in the loop of how much they have recieved and how much more they need.
They could also send a mailer to clubs or club members asking for a donation.
I also like Outlaw Daves post. Do any of our youth riders agree with us on any of these subjects.
Other ways to make money could be Trials school at an event. Or put on an event. Just look at Geoff he has found ways very creative to make a living at what he does.
To me the ways to easily send a rider to Europe are endless. I think most people would send money and feel proud they helped send a rider to Europe.
