Re: Jason Britton's show
BINGO DING DING DING DING (off show topic and on the evolution of the sport lol)
****** A right. Im so tired of people getting all this and all that but yet havent proven **** at comps. In order for this to be considered a sport competition is a must. If you want to be considered one of the top riders in the nation go out and prove it. Im tired of looking at sites and seeing certain riders sponsored cause they spit a good game. So whack. The riders that are out there pushing the limits and proving themselves at competitions are the ones that deserve the publicity. The reason just like teach said is the companies know no better. Its our job to educate them. Its our job to make sure that riders that fake the funk get pushed out. Nothing chaps my *** more than seeing riders leaching off the sport. One day this will all change and that day is coming soon.
However that doesnt mean that doing shows and demos doesnt contribute to the building of the sport. I think that the more we are in the public eye the better chance we have of suceeding. Like Superbikes for example. Thats a show that is on constantly whether it be new episodes or re-reruns. Thats thousands of new people that get introduced to stunt riding every week which helps build a strong following for the sport. I just think that the more the sport develops the more competition will matter. And I think that with professionally run competitions such as XDL this will happen soon.

Iagree with this allot, but still feel there could be top riders just not comp riders, its liek skateboarding, theres big names that compete, and big if not bigger who just do demos and videos.. not all the best riders have 2 compete i think..

Re: Jason Britton's show
i think that as long as xdl keeps going you will begin to see more of the "non comp" riders come around...they were just tired of riding in crappy, unfairly judged comps...xdl is the real deal, the future of the sport...
and ***** still kills it...:YEAH
just in ATL now...
