What do you consider to be an amateur?

Dan what are u tryin to get at? u just want to go to a local comp and smoke some local newbs? there really is no point my friend.

cmon we all know what an amature competitor is, it's not how long u have been competing or even how high of a number you do. I can give all my equipment to my girlfriend and she would be a amature/newb competitor doing over 150 in street class on her first ever burp in her first ever competition. so how long u do it or how loud u get doesnt count.

an amature competitor is not a competitor to begin with. just a regular guy with a regular day to day beater system. Richard is trying to make shows for the shop's customers, guys who are interested to see wha they hit and maybe have a little competition amongs each other....not guys who are looking to get smoked by one of us, regardless of how long we have been doin it.

i define a pro competitor as someone who puts their heart and soul into their boom and db's, regardless if they just started (like Dan) or have been doin it for the last 6 + years (like Richard). I believe it is the level of experiance and knowledge of spl that separates the pros from true amatures. and something like that is very hard to determine from one person by other. For example, there is a guy on my street who has 2 15 inch subs and is very loud for daily driving, he competed here and there and back in the day i thougth his system was invincible.........now i smoke him with 1 12.
He's been into it for longer than i have.....does that make him a pro competitor ??? does it mean im still an amature compeitor or does he become amature and i become pro b/c now im louder?

My point is......we all know what we can do with our systems and we all know our level of experiance and knowledge of SPL. So lets be honest and not say that we are amatures b/c we just started to compete meanwhile we know that our level of knowledge and spl is WAY more than a regular customer with 2 Alpine 12's. Otherwise, if you know your shiit YOU ARE NOT AN AMATURE.

btw Richard, if i do come out to the Newmarket show i wouldnt want to go against the local guys, i'd run for fun. Hey i have an idea for a contest in one of the shows. Contest entry fee is $1, bet on what number i could hit with 1 12. everyone puts in a dollar and then i burp it, the person with the closest guess wins all the money or a t-shirt or something?? how's that? lol

That's just ghay......... unless you're giving out those new Yuli-designed SPL helmets. Then that's only border-line ghay.

Rich, wish you all the best of luck. Interesting concept. [img]graemlins/cf2.gif[/img]
