Default L2r

one thing bugs me about this whole problem with funding L2R that is why cant board companys,clothing companys and everyone else who makes money from wakeboarding get there heads out of there buts ,put money into the comps and they get more exposure,everyones a winner.

No one makes money out of wakeboarding, not in the UK anyway.

yeah dudes it a big ol circle you need exposure on tv for the sport to grow but you need money from sponsors for the wake board tours to go on tv ... so there you have it ...the thing is we have been sdtruggling on now pulling favors form every one and barely getting by and its getting a bit long in the tooth when your just getting by and paying for the show out of your own pocket like i have done for the last couple of years ...... hopefuly we can concentrate and make a one big stop at box end the only problem i have now is that other events are set to clash with my date , and there are not any other free weekends with the calender pretty dam full ...... so stay tuned and see if we can pull it off one more time .... god knows its gonna suck a summer with no live 2 ride to look forward to ... im truly sorry to all you guys but it truly wasnt my fault i left the tour in others hands and came up short ...
