I understand that mate, completely
My point is always, if your in this sport to make a bit of money (at our level), your in the wrong sport!
Edit: I wasn't saying dont have prize money, is just I would rather see it spent on awesome heavy ass kit!

No one's going to be making money any time soon, but a small incentive as a reward for your efforts has got to be a good thing?

But why would the promoter be buying any kit? Surely there are enough manufacturers out there with an interest in having their kit used and would surely jump at the chance to sponsor these events?

As I suspected. So what's the issue with prize money?

673.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq		jc said he would rather the money went on new kit, so more variety in upcoming competitions

for example

fingals fingers
power stairs
squat/deadlift frame

all events you dont see often because the equipment is expensive

There is no issue. Were did I say the promoter cant fund prize money as needs to buy kit?

What I said is I would rather they spend the prize money on a NEW piece of kit, which looks/is heavy and impressive as f**k to the crowd/general public

Could be a case here for British u105s forming/joining a federation then. All that kit already exists somewhere.

Getting good quality, well made kit together is one thing, then if you are promoting competitions in other areas away from 'home', transport and handling becomes another issue. Also if you have quality kit (Motorcycle Viking Press)you don't want to keep it outside, so then incur storage costs to keep it nice and rust free.
