naughty !! Member 642, 2482 posts SQ 204, BP 142.5, DL 260606.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | me and kenny both flipped that tyre last year head to head , i think it ws kenny anyway , and the one with no tread still had a lip underneath to get your hand under and was slightly lighter while the other was slightly heavier but easier to grip? made very little difference to be honest mate. | ||

Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq | Waste of time simply stating something is s**t. Why not try being constructive with your criticism. No comp is ever perfect, I'm speaking both as a competitor and an organiser. If your informed enough to recognise flaws then raise them in a way that might lead to positive change. | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22858 posts | martinb said: Wayne_Cowdrey said:I'd struggle to understand the mentality of someone who's not natural entering this comp. If the u105 weights get upped to a more challenging level I'll be there next year. just do the opens then Yeah, that's always an option. I'm not afraid of getting thrashed by bigger guys A comp has to be sufficiently challenging for me to enter. | ||

Rudigan offical Comp Police, saving us all from doing s**t comps. He goes to a comp says nothing to the organiser's about the comp on the day then goes home turns his computer on and then before looking at train spotters .com comes on here to set things straight . WOW what a guy. | ||

Member 1625, 26 posts | the trainspotters.com site hasnt been updated for a while thats why i'm on here exposing all the s**t strongman comps out there.as long as the comps well organized then the organizers wont have anything to worry about.i'm just trying to save everyone from wasting their money next year.if the comps good i will say its good and if it was s**t like this natural one was then i'll say it was s**t. | ||

Or maybe you could answer the questions i asked before do you compete in or run comps? Least you couldn't moan about the weather this time as in previous posts. I was also looking for the posts where you say which comps you have been to and enjoyed but all i found was moaning maybe you should stay at home. | ||
