Wanneer Dant\u00e9 Abrahams sy veiligheidshelm oor sy kop trek en by die wegspringplek staan, het hy net een doel voor o\u00eb \u2013 dit is om sy beste te lewer en eerste te eindig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En dit is presies wat hy tot dusver reggekry het. Di\u00e9 skrander lid van die Overberg-BMX-klub is n\u00e1 die SA BMX-bekertoernooi, wat onlangs in Kraaifontein gehou is en waar hy eerste in al sy wedrenne ge\u00ebindig het, tans eerste in die Wes-Kaap in die beginnersafdeling vir 13-14- jarige ryers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dant\u00e9, \u2019n gr. 7-leerder aan Mount Pleasant Prim\u00ear, vertrek eersdaags na Johannesburg om aan die SA Bekerreeks deel te neem. Daarna sal hy in Oktober in Durban aan die SA Bekerkampioenskap gaan deelneem. Beginners en ervare jaers ding in hierdie renne teen mekaar mee vir \u2019n \u201cSA nommerplaat\u201d, wat hulle in staat stel om aan internasionale renne deel te neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sam Harman, die sekretaris van die Overberg-BMX-klub, verduidelik deelnemers moet aan minstens ses uit agt renne in die kompetisie-reeks deelneem om vir die kampioenskap te kwalifiseer. Sy kanse om sy SA kleure by die kampioenskap te wen, s\u00ea Sam, is baie goed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDant\u00e9 vaar baie goed, is baie toegewyd en werk uiters hard, dus glo ons hy staan \u2019n baie goeie kans om sy SA \u2018nommerplaat\u2019 te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het \u2019n hele paar ryers wat gekwalifiseer het om aan die renne in Johannesburg en Durban deel te neem, maar hul deelname hang af van die kostes, wat baie hoog kan wees,\u201d het Sam verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dant\u00e9 se ma, Danielle, s\u00ea sy sal alles in haar vermo\u00eb doen om te probeer verseker dat haar seun aan albei wedrenne kan deelneem. Die kostes daaraan verbonde is egter ietwat van \u2019n struikelblok, s\u00ea sy omdat di\u00e9 sportsoort baie duur is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie fietse en veiligheidstoerusting kan ongeveer R24 000 kos, maar gelukkig het ons \u2019n winskopie gekry en net R9 000 betaal. Dan is daar nog die uitgawes vir sy broek, veiligheidshelm, baadjie en dies meer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVir die wedrenne van 30 Junie tot 2 Julie in Johannesburg het ons minstens R10 000 net vir sy vliegtuigkaartjie, verblyf, registrasiefooie en ander uitgawes nodig. Ons wil ook graag saam met ons seun gaan om hom te ondersteun, en dit sal aansienlik meer kos,\u201d verduidelik sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tot dusver, s\u00ea Danielle, het hulle goeie finansi\u00eble ondersteuning van plaaslike bouers gekry aangesien haar man \u2019n bouer is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHoe beter Dant\u00e9 in die sportsoort vaar, hoe duurder raak dit. Ons pleit dat mense hom sal ondersteun sodat hy sy droom om eendag hierdie sportsoort professioneel te kan beoefen, kan bereik,\u201d was haar pleidooi..<\/span> Enigeen wat \u2019n finansi\u00eble bydrae wil lewer, kan Danielle by 072 211 1873 bel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wanneer Dant\u00e9 Abrahams sy veiligheidshelm oor sy kop trek en by die wegspringplek staan, het
