But, the XDL show is a great way to start classifying who is pro with a ranking system that is pretty much being recognized by all riders across the board. The nice thing about the XDL is it is not like stuntwars which is a show up and ride event over the course of a weekend. XDL provides mulitple competitions per REGION which eventually allows you to earn a spot at the big show against the TOP pros.

Personally, Stuntwars to me should be a compilation of only the TOP 5 winners from each XDL show from each Region. There should be an XDL show for every time zone. (It's a real easy way to break down the regions) Then the top 5 from each region are prequalified to compete at Stuntwars which to me should the cream of the crop. Also, there should be more than one competition per region. To better single it out, possibly hold a prelim that will prequalify you for the XDL show.

This showing up to the show and riding $hit just isn't cutting it. But, I do feel that if a "team" wants to ride at Stuntwars then one member from your team needs to be qualified at the XDL show in order for your team to advance. The only reason why I say that is if we are trying to single out the "best" stunter nation wide we need to allow teams to compete against themselves, but that also gives each team better odds of being exposed to the stunting world... by that I mean if a 5 person team has only 1 person make the Top 5 at the XDL, then the rest of the Team is grandfathered in to compete at Stuntwars to compete in the TEAM EVENT ONLY. The person that placed Top 5 at the XDL is the only person that can compete in the individual freestyle and any other individual competition.

Now I say Top 5, it could be the Top 10 or something like that... who knows. This is just a filtration system I have been thinking of that might really put a solid footprint in the stunting world and create solidarity in our sport!

Just my . Sorry... really long post!

Korno, friend, great rider, killed the northeast thing this year, but did he travel and place somewhere else?

bullo, he dont care either way...

who else should be on this list as an actively competing pro rider??

and they have to have an established record of travelling to a few comps and placing top 15 or have gone to one major and placed top 5

what gives someone PRO skills... some hard tricks?!?! does that make you a pro cause you can do some hard stunts!??!?!

Or does your execution count... does how well you link your tricks count... how about how well you present yourself?... or how you play to a crowd??(two riders with similar skills can DEFINATELY still be in different leagues based on HOW they ride!!!

there is a LOT more that goes into being a "PRO" than the tricks you can do!!!
