For those readers outthere who have never witnessed Motocross live, there is the big chance to watch this insane sport this coming Saturday and Sunday 28th June at the Gallina Motocross Park, when the “Full Throttle AMU” gets started to decide who’s the best mx-rider on the african continent. For those riders that finish in the Top-5 it also means qualification for the FIM Worldchampionships to be held in South Africa in 2010. So, there is a lot at stake and Namibia is the proud host of this prestigious event.

Without sponsors the “Full Throttle AMU” could have never get off the ground. The WMCC (Windhoek Moto Cross Club) noticed that engaged sponsors for the past 6 years were not able to committ themselves for 2009, due to the worldwide financial crisis.

We kept the best for last and present the Namibian team. Sponsoring this team of 18 is the company I Dream Africa, a group of companies specialising in safaris and tours, events, catering, transport, mobile sanitation and manufacturing. With this diversification of services, 170 employees are involved in South Africa and Namibia. So I Dream Africa is the major sponsor of the “Full Throttle AMU” and they provide a part of their services. A Bedouin-tent will be erected on the club-owned premises of the WMCC in Olympia, with a capacity for 330 guests, Furthermore a boma will be put up with campfires and torches. I Dream Africa will handle the catering and the massive bar, als well as the mobile sanitation which are one of a kind on the African continent.
