Default Sledging Thread

Hi Guys & Gurls,
Thought I would start a new thread for all of those who want to have a sledge at each other.
This way we can take the sledging off the other threads and let them continue with the subject that is priorority.

Is this an AARCMCC sanctioned thread??

I don't think it is fair that there is only one class on the sledging thread.

What happens if we sledge more or sledge less, shouldn't there be more classes.

I think sledgers shouldn't be allowed to run there mouths. And I think the verbal content in there speach is to high. They obviously have modified brains which have a limited run time.

Default sledging

I cant understand why you dont just dump sledging, its a thing of the past and everyone knows that expletive abuse is the class of verbal tyrade that is growing at a phenomenal rate and all the dictionaries are now being manufactured to cater for this.
And I certainly dont see the point of sledging if theres only 10 other sledgers to sledge against and the insults being used are out of date to start with.

I remember when sledging was huge. Everybody was there. The national sledging titles were amazing. I can remember some great sledges.

Sledging in 2003 is nothing like the good old days. The trouble with sledging now is that its so expensive and you have to have so much equipment. You go to the sledging nationals now and there's only 10 people, they have the most incredible amount of gear - and darrin campbell still wins.

the only light at the end of the tunnel is that brooksie is back.

by the way, sledging should be a rubber tyre class. foam sucks.

What body will sanction this event? Will the rules stay fixed or change frequenlty.......without notice? I think we should have 2 classes - Novice sledges and Pro sledges

Talking

Just a few questions!

Will this event need marshals to return any faulty sledges or ones that hit the wall or get stuck in the grass?

Does each competitor need a pit crew to offer moral support, advice and also assist the "pull-start" guys?

For the benefit of all the other competitors should the "pull-start" guys be banned?

Will sledges directed at marshalls, pit crew and other "sledgers" achieve the same result?

all participating sledgers should also need to provide 3 forms of alternative identities

We are waiting on AARCMCC to send out the sanctioning forms

What happens if we sledge more or sledge less, shouldn't there be more classes.
And this is from the secretary of AARCMCC. How many classes would you like ?? lets keep it simple and have only one class and you can sledge all or as little as you like, you'll still be a winner.

more important than classes is sledging rankings... how are they going to be sorted... im sure competition will be wild for the top spot
One class, International only. We are a combine comunity.


I cant understand why you dont just dump sledging, its a thing of the past and everyone knows that expletive abuse is the class of verbal tyrade that is growing at a phenomenal rate and all the dictionaries are now being manufactured to cater for this.
Way too confusing for a simple mind like mine ???

You go to the sledging nationals now and there's only 10 people, they have the most incredible amount of gear - and darrin campbell still wins.
Darrin only wins when he wants too !

by the way, sledging should be a rubber tyre class. foam sucks.
Not worth the waste of band width to comment on.

? Will the rules stay fixed or change frequenlty.......without notice?
Of course the rules will change, to suit the sledgee.

from what i heard, some will be brainless "extended runtime"
NOTE the edit in this quote

Will this event need marshals to return any faulty sledges or ones that hit the wall
The sledgers will have to marshall themselves, that way there will be no marshalls, (just like racing)
P.S. good sledgers don't need marshalls

For the benefit of all the other competitors should the "pull-start" guys be banned?
Agreed, if you got to pull it to start, you are not worthy to leave the bed room.

Will sledges directed at marshalls, pit crew and other "sledgers" achieve the same result?
Only in the sledgee's mind.
