Since when did the event selection become by commitee? Bob's contest, Bob's events. Plus a truck pull is a very difficult event to set up. Far too many variable with the event, and you need an event tester. | ||

Amor means love Member 2369, 50 posts SQ 300, BP 230, DL 330860.0 kgs @ 165kgs UnEq | That wasn't directed at anyone inparticular Dave. I'm just a bit fed up with the growing trend of competitors and those not involved at all hasselling/attacking promoter. It happened at UKSC Englands, BSM, Elite Englands and prob many more that I'm not aware of. Until people start running contests themselves they have no idea of the stress, financial and time investment put in by the promotors. Without them we have no contests, isn't it about time people start achknowledging this? | ||

I agree, most of what I say is meant as expressing my opinion without any serious expectations of changing anything. If I didn't want to do the comp I just wouldn't do it, and that should be the same for all competitors. But I've done every show I've ever put my name down for and completed every one, even through injury. Can't see that changing any time soon! | ||
