Check this out, quite a good idea for funding an arts project imho.

I think he'd be better targetting his fund raising.

In Belgium, all the decent (and some less decent) cross riders have fan clubs, which provide funding for them. You see the old guys beside the tape in their jackets embroidered with the name of "their" rider. Sometimes, it's nothing more than the guys who drink in a particular bar.

I reckon he'd be better agreeing to do a deal with each of the supporters clubs who'll have riders at the world cup races to get some funding from them in exchange for something back to them and their riders.

Maybe, but as can be seen below the model does have some merit.
