SAMBA Community Award Winners

Written by  Alistair

It was a glittering night at SA's mountain biking equivalent of the Oscars. A good crowd turned out at the Mercury Cinema to see who had won the first annual SAMBA Community Awards (as well as watch a couple of amazing movies: 3 Minute Gaps and Lifecycles).

 

The award winners were......

 

 

 

Advocacy
- Mal Robertson – For his continued and concerted efforts advocating for trail access for mountain bikers across Adelaide.
- Nick Bowman – For his long term service in trail advocacy across SA and now the rest of the country.

Community Development
- Chris Brosnan – For her ongoing commitment to the development of racing opportunities, both in Inside Line and through the National Championships.
- Rebecca Jeisman, Genna Chapman and Muriel Scholz – For their ongoing work to promote cycling across the Flinders Ranges. From the instigation of the ‘Tour Up Over’ to supporting local cycling clubs and events, they are always looking for ways to build the cycling community.

 

Industry
- Ian Fehler – For his relentless promotion of mountain biking and mtb tourism.
- Brenton Collins – For his long term service to trail development in SA, from Jupiter Creek and Prospect Hill to Brownhill Creek and Eagle.

 

Trail Care
- Dave Clark – For his work with the Friends of Sturt Gorge. He has passed on skills to a large range of volunteers and has promoted the skills of MTB riders within the Trail Care community.
- Jane and Warren Luckraft – For their efforts to develop, build and maintain MTB trails in the Flinders Ranges. Every year there are new and improved trails on their property, and they host the annual Tour Up Over.
