  1. Funny thing when I was racing most of my injuries were from loading & unloading the equipment.

    As a sport I don't have a problem with speed I would go as fast as my wallet would allow, It still is my passion.

    I do think rock/Mountain climbers are crazy with no prospects of any $ so they must enjoy doing what they do.

    Boxers on the other hand have the incentive of lots of dosh.

    There is a lot of money in some sports zero in others & most of the big money you don't need much equipment just your talent.

    Beats 9-5 anyday.

  6. If I had gone to NY the hotel room was over $2000 plus meals & taxis , From what I heard a tip for the taxi driver is at least $100.

    Any way the handlers have turned out to be not reputable & I feel lucky to get away with what I have already spent

    I got a whole new wardrobe of clothes for me & the other half, Shoes and everything.

    Also the flights are getting cancelled cos of the storms so there was a possibility of getting stuck in NY.
