Soul Rancher, i don't think anything was aimed at anyone mate, Its clear to see that you are right up there with the big guns, and an inspiration to the people you train with, i am looking farward myself to meeting you, and your skill level will enhance our gym, i cant wait to see you in action,
i can speak thrugh experience, i have been injured, and seen some nasty stuf from the guys in our team, thats how we learned, thrugh pain, sweat, and blood, when Brucie did his first back flip ther was no such thing as gym meets for us in them days, it was just him and me on a field, he wanted it so bad, so we padded him up as best we could, even a helmet, As daft as it seems, we didn't even know about knee pads, but i had guest that the knee must be secured into place so i made knee supports out of soundproof foaming, and we used skate board gear for protection, remember this had never been done before in the uk, so we didnt know any better, i was practicaly underneath him the whole time, and then wow, he did it,
the point is that in those days there was no one to advice us on how it could be done safe, not that flips are safe, but im sure you know what i mean, and you remind me of him,with your determination, please take that as a highest compliment, there are not many i would say that to,as i hold Brucie, as most do, in the highest regard,
becouse of people like Brucie and you,we now have ways to look at safer ways of doing things, and i think that is aimed at people who are learning new tricks /stunts, and in this sport we will all,always be learning, and your right in saying we learn from mistakes, most will always respect there own common sence, and the few that take it to the xtreme will always be looked up to, but i have found that sometimes in life its always nice to hear a word of wisdome or direction from an elder, even if it only makes you think about it, if that makes sence,
your going to be at the top of this sport one day soon, so stay safe, and i hope to meet you in person at the gym, we'l have a lot to chat about, thats when Reon has finished with you,lol.
