Author Topic: The VERY UNOFFICIAL - Who would you like to see at MK17 thread ? (Read 10900 times)

factory pilot · « **on:** September 25, 2016, 03:33 PM »

After the success of Haro and Hoffman whose presence definitely add something special to this year's MK for me...
Who would you like to see at next year's event?
U.S. Or UK stars - perhaps a more UK focus after this year's U.S. guests?
Perhaps you don't want any guests and feel it detracts from the essence of what MK's all about ?
Let's hear your wish lists lads!

( powers that be I hope I'm not treading on anybody's toes here ? It's only meant to be a bit of fun not a petition or demand in any way )

After listening to Dale Holmes' podcast the controversial Tim March would be up there for me.

Radsters?

As much as I enjoyed the atmosphere of our esteemed guests being there I do feel the fields suffered as a result. I didn't notice many venturing down the nicely laid out isles of radsters and their rides. Even the helipad seemed quiet. I imagine the guests concentrated all the activities and attention round the marquees.

I don't have answers and I'm certainly not criticising. Just my observations.

would love to see Eddie riding a half pipe

Andy Ruffell for me in an official capacity. A signing and question/answer session would be cool. How about getting Alistair Pirrie along too, team him back up with Ruffell and get an old school bmx beat style contest on. I reckon Paul Barlow, Julian JJ Mortin and a few others might fancy a go....

I agree Clint. The helipad and adjoining field did seem quieter this year. The weather on Saturday didn't help either. It seemed to take people quite a while on Saturday morning to get out their displays/for sale items

The hotels were busier though. There were definitely plenty of people there. For me it would be great to get some British celebs there.

I like this thread, let's get the ideas down, and more importantly, let's get the ideas on how to fund it as well

40 years of SE next year so Stu and Perry would be the cherry on the MK cake.

Perry swears like a bitch Kramer for me, FOOKIN top chap

Going back to what Jaymz said about funding (don't shoot me, this is only a suggestion), but how about an option whereas the more committed members of the forum could pay a standing order of say £3 per month, to the RAD pot, to help boost the balance. This would be by personal choice to do this, and could be done on an anonymous level as not to make anyone feel inferior, as the existing £10 per year for the SST would still be available.

I can name at least 10 members, including myself that would be happy to do this.

Like I said, only a suggestion.

I'd throw in for that Dan.

Like Ant said, the Dale Holmes/Tim March podcast was a really entertaining and interesting listen. It would be good if Tim could attend. Again, a signing & question/answer session might work. Maybe get Ruffell, March, Craig Schofield, Geth Shooter and Alan Woods to do a group thing maybe?

That would be great - btw I watched the Stompin Stu DVD last night for the first time and would recommend it to anyone (made by the same people who did Joe Kid on a Stingray)

I know the Skyway guys (Rein/Kenneth) are talking about coming, maybe with Maurice too - I'm sure a Q&A with those guys would be interesting

factory pilot · « **Reply #18 on:** September 26, 2016, 05:13 PM »

Some great ideas lads..,
Stu and PK Ripper would be cool as would the Skyway lads or the UK bunch!
I'd be up for Dan's idea to raise funds too

pickle · « **Reply #19 on:** September 26, 2016, 05:19 PM »

Just think we have to do something around SE, Getting Tod over with Perry would be superb!

Also having the Skyway guys over would be amazing as well, seeing Maurice again would be great
