More Food for Thought: Some info from the KTA video, which is on Pinkbike-Apr.9 2013, which includes a write up by KT trails manager CJ Scott, all promoting the vote for KT in the Bell Trail Contest. According to Scott, paid visits increased from 16,000 in 2005 t0 over 60,000 in 2012. That is an increase of 5,600 riders per year; of course it increased incrementally each year, so one could expect at least 65,000 tickets for 2013. That amounts to $975,000 in ticket sales! In a reply to the KT article by someone challenging the vote for KT--someone who looked into the financials of KTA ( which should be fairly transparent as a non-profit) these figures are given: 2011-2012 IRS Form 990 Gross receipts were $545,922 Plus $1,682,027 in public support, which I assume means grants, gifts , donations, etc. Folks, that gets it up to $ 2.2 million plus for the fiscal year!! So maybe you pay $1 mill to indemnify the landowners!! that stills leaves $1 mill to run the show and fix/build trails. CJ Scott also says that KT has built 3 machine made trails at the bike park, not counting the Bell trail for which they won $33,000 to build it. So building the 3 trails at a similar figure of $33,000/trail= $99,000, plus the $33,000 for the Bell trail = $132,000 for trails on "Q" Burke land; and do they also have to pay to indemnify "Q"Burke for use of there land? Probably. More later.
