And by principle this should promote the sport, push it, and create exceptionally skilled riders over the years to come. When a rider makes the spectator and fellow riders butt pucker and at the same time has a ton of technical skill, we\'re doing it right. \n \nMost important thing a sanctioning body can do is create rules to elevate the total rider skill set. Be ready to adapt with the changing styles as they develop. \n \nOne last note, I traveled this year a ton, judged a lot, have more close international friends that ever and know this; any of the things that don\'t impress you on YouTube, your favorite rider just told me is amazing and going to change the game. You may just be one degree of separation away from seeing it, and there\'s nothing wrong with that. I guess you\'ll just have to trust us or get involved to help. We all quit our jobs at some point, we all invested everything and went broke along the way. We were all just like you. And we\'re all waiting for new blood to come and change the game again. \r\n \r\n

\r\n \r\n Think it would be fantastic to host some sort of world cup/olympics style comp in a different area every 2 years where riders from all around the world both pro and amateur could compete. If we as comp organizers help each other it would pay off in the long run.
\n
\nAt the moment its very hard for Euro riders to get sponsored and make a credible living from the sport. As regards sponsors, local companies are\'nt making enough money and can only sponsor product and international companies can only sponsor so many riders. Theres no money to be made doing shows anymore and there is zero TV coverage for stunting in Europe. If you look at the main Euro comps its travel that\'s the main expense with ferries and vast travel etc. The amount of talented Euro riders that would love to go to XDL but logistacilly and financially its just not viable.
\n
\nFrom an organizers point of view, I try my best to make my comps as big as possible but have to find the divide between amateurs having a fare chance of the whip and the fans not getting bored of the same people winning, but without the help of the bigger riders, I would\'nt have had such a successful season. But then again without the constant support off our newcomers and their dedication and love of the sport there be no series.
\n
\nOnly 12 riders showed up to the Vertical Trix International comp in the UK last weekend (30 entered) and that had one of the biggest prize purses, and their was only 6 pro riders.
\n
\nOrganizers need to get together and work out a universal points system and have that as the standard points system world wide in my opinion, the difference in the points systems in major comps worldwide is vast and can be confusing for riders
\n
\nWe base our points system on xdl as its by far the best and easiest to use btw.
\n
\nSorry if I\'m after going off on a tangent.
