yeh kinda what i wanted to say... and better if they spend money on facilities to increase wakeboarding in the UK... and that will reflect on the international level too

sorry i forgot i also never mentioned Harley in any of my posts either-why would i? he's an aussie and not from the UK or didn't you realise?

By the way Harley Clifford would fall under the exceptional category. He could ride against the UK pros. I am not saying he would win but he would certainly not be embarrassed. I know his dad quite well and, like a lot of other parents, has spent a small fortune on him.Very little, if any, sponsorship money.

Hey P[u],you are exhausting us. I don't think you are getting it

I am getting it, yes i am new to wakeboarding, what your saying is very interesting but I think we got slighlty crossed along the way.. yes you did say 'tiny tots' N monkey you said... 'because someone who wasn't thinking of their development at an early age told them they could be tiny tots world champ and they believed it meant something.' I have no clue what type of tricks these young kids are doing now, Ive just heard through the grape vine that some of them are good. I better back out of this thread now sorry if my lack of knowledge has stressed you guys out.

I understand were you are coming from but just to make my point clear one last time.

I think any boys/girls who make any British team in any sport in the UK should be supported in the same way at comps as the older competitors, they might not be as skilled but they try just as hard. They shouldnt pick them if they are not going to support them.

No hard feelings I hope.

i shouldn't post things so long that even i can't be arsed to read them more than once properly, i did say tiny tots you're right. i stand by it tho in the context i said it, although it was certainley never aimed at Harley-he's not 10 for a start, but whatever, discussion over i reckon.
