Locals Only
Its Bullshit When Your Town Has An Event And They Bring In People From Another City To Do The Stunt Show. I Guess Its My Fault For Not Advertising And Promoting But ID Rather Ride And Lockdown New ****. Example: Voodoo Tattoo Festival This Weekend In Austin,tx. Crew That Was Invited: Team Xlr8-san Antonio,tx. That **** Is F#cking Ridiculous. Good For Them, Making Money And Performing This Weekend But Frustrating For The Locals With The Real Skills.

Re: Locals Only
I feel your frustration, sucks when the same stuff happens for sponsors.
We try to advertise and promote but don't really know how to go about doing it, that's our problem. I guess that's our fault to, got talent just no publicity

Re: Locals Only
Thats What So F#cking Frustrating. Promoters Dont Know The Difference Between Having **** Locked And Squid-vicious & Company. If They Took The Time To Check Skills Instead Of Hiring People Who They Heard About Through Dick Riders Mouths Then The Shows Would Be That Much Better. These Cats Arent Even On A Level With The Other Team In Their Town. 3sick Rides With Us So Our Curse Probably Carries Over To Them, Sorry Fellas. Props To Everybody Out There Doing Your Thing But I Have To Call 'em Like I See 'em.

Re: Locals Only
You said it man. Sammy told me he contacted those jokers hosting the event a couple weeks ago. It just sounds like xlr8 has a big mouth monkey promoting them whereas you/we didnt. I hope some of the atx guys at least heckled their asses. Lol. I dont mean to trash xlr8, but they gotta expect it if they are coming into somebody elses town without skills. hahaha.. what a joke.

Re: Locals Only
Start pushing that vid Jordo made to promote yourself, if he's cool with it. I love doing shows cause they're fun, but pleasing a crowd is pretty daym easy, and if anything the technical chit you work towards doesnt garner a daym thing most of the time! But hey, I'm not complaining.. Patricks in SA tonight to do a show on Sunday, I aint hating cause he's a badass rider, but I know alot of people keep asking why we arent in it. 
Promotors..
always outsourcing instead of looking in their own backyard.

Re: Locals Only
Let's all get together and start figuring how to market ourselves so we can take it over. Tired of it going to a bunch of half riders, I'm talking about a certain someone in H-Town (and if your reading this don't take it personal or take it personal you need to bump down your ego cause your ONLY average. Congrats on marketing yourself and fooling them to believe that your the best thing on this planet but your going to be short lived)

its a stunt show, not a compitition, so its for entertainment. Belive it or not 5mph no handed wheelies and circles are no where near as entertaining as high speed stuff.
when people look for a team to do a SHOW they want to look for the crazy ****'s who look like they are about to crash and leave in an ambulence any second.
but thats just what i think

Re: Locals Only
I think it depends on how the venue is set up. I be damn if you get a good show outa guys that do 100mph wheelies in a small area.

Re: Locals Only
Look, both Xlr8 and Ryan will be doing the same stuff.. basically. But if watch Ryan (or the other two Austin cats), then the other... it wouldnt even be close. Its like living next door to Ray Lewis but hiring Oksana Baiul instead to play linebacker for your team.. even with Ray willing and able to play. 
and btw, I know both groups, XLR8 is a good group of people (though I have my differences in the past) but just not up to par.

Re: Locals Only
Ryan's got sick skillz because of his style. Everything he does is smooth, right on target, and makes it look easier than any rider I know. Never rode with XLR8, but I can see where he's coming from.
