Sounds good to me !!! We will be there.

 

Can't wait all of us from the sfd crowd wiil be at every event rain or shine pissed or sober depending on how well we do it will be awesome to get all the u.k stunters together at least six times a year

 

do you have to enter the first round to enter the second round, if that makes sense?

 

Nope dont think so. ya dont have to do all of them far as i know. Trev cant answer this as he has gone on holiday now. Im sure he will answer when he gets back in three weeks. But im sure ya dont have to do all of them if ya cant manage it.

 

6 rounds!? bit much no? and what are the prizes?
sorry mate but looks to me like you just want a free stunt show to go with your events

 

can only be good for the scene though surely...................... ? i dont care what the prizes are cos I aint gonna win owt but I'm sure there's decent prizes for the winners?

Least theres a lot on the UK stunt scene this year, should draw some new stunters in and gives us lots of chances to show off :YEAH

 

ive been tought a valuble lesson today, we as stunters really need to put a price on what we do or the sport really will die out, as we get shows then some newb comes in and under cuts us the event organisers are going to want everything next to nothing, well this (in my opinion) is just the same, everyone is sooooo eager to ride that they will just do it for free, this is not practice guys, someone will be making money off of this, if this carrys on, in the near future there will be no shows to ride at but instead there will be 50 comps in the uk as the event organisers dont have to pay you to ride....
Just think!

Sorry but how can we expect to get paid to enter competitions?

If there are decent prizes then I don't see the problem.. if there are no prizes/useless prizes then I can see your point. The sport will never grow if we don't let people try? it's swings and roundabouts..... we want more opportunities but shoot them down when they arise?

I don't know to much about elvington or straightliners or anything so maybe theres more to it than it seems... all I see is someone putting on a competition series...

 

its not about the money, these guys are focused on there OWN even... Drag raceing not stunt riding, those comp are just there to keep others amused and also bring in more PAYING crowd, how can you have 6 dates for a comp? and there is only a hadfull of people that will be attending.

You are getting exploited and loveing it, think about it we already have an awesome comp in the uk and you want to go and get used by someone who just wants u there because u are amuseing when you crash?

I love what i do and i want nothing more than for this sport to grow infact i try and help everyone as much as i can be it from bike setup to getting them cheap parts to advice, i was one of the first lot of stunters (our kind of stunting) in this country along with people like jonjon, the ex-vbsx crew and the ex-awol crew and ive seen people come and peope go and ive been used for other peoples benifit time after time and all im saying is that i think its not a good way to grow the sceen but a bad one as i think this will help it die out.


let me put it another way for you, a mars bar is nice from time to time, sit down and eat 6 king size bars and tell me you dont feel sick! now you get it?

 

I'm not going.

SBF all the way.

Six comps is too much, nobody will improive enough in the time between, and there really aren't that many of us to compete. And I know that only very few would it to every event.

These comps seem put on half asses to me. I wanna throw my name in with something good, so once again, SBF.

 

I soooooo hate polotics... I see your point Ed. I like mars bars though, I think I could manage 4 before feeling sick

I suck anyway so I doubt I'll be entering any comps this year. Riding and making vids is more fun than competitions and polotics.

 

you cant escape from politics son, it is all around you (bit like the matrix)

 

Yeah I've seen that polotics advert on TV

Is there a blue pill available?

 

sparks needs viagra

 

lol sorry only the red pill

altho this might seem like a personal attack at trevor but belive me its not, before these so called comps he would have to PAY to have a rider turn up to one of his events but now he can have 30 riders for free at every event...... catch my drift? its all good business tactics thats all, its just like when the ace cafe had to shut down "max power night" as it was causeing too much **** with the cops but all they did was call it "performance car night" and it was back on again

 

BOLLOCKS!!! He said king size, i reckon you could do 2, but then would try and squeeze the third one in, if there is a crowd around you, BUT NO WAY could you do 4 king size mars bars


SBF fo' sho'

 

I'm fat and I can only manage two.

Kit kat on the other hand...

 

true dat SBF atleast that is a real comp with real judges and real score list and edde is right mother ******.
