just wondering... the display team thingme... does it matter what skill level we are? coz i wudnt mind doing stuff but i cant do much on my stilts... but maybe it wud be good to have a range of skills in the display team coz this will show a progress to the public if you get what i mean...  :Csmile:

At the moment we have the display team sorted which will be announced soon, the problem with too many people is because sponsorship only pay for certain amount of peoples travel etc, this display team is for all events basically, but if the events local for example, norwich, then by all means people can turn up but will not be announced as the Display team.

The display team are signed with expix.co.uk ( will be on the site soon ) this is how we get our events, on the site well be advertised as 10 people so when other companies want us to perform theyll only expect 10 people, its really confusing and tough to explain sorry.

Who is in the display team, doesnt really bother me greatly who is in it as i said i have winter comitments at the min so wont be about much any ways for awhile, just would like to know who is in it,

And same thing again me not really being botherd greatly til im back on the scene alot but will this not divide the group abit with the seperate meets for display team with the Display team turning in to the EA bockers and the others gettin put aside and collecting dust on a shelf ?

Display team isnt a new group at all, its just 10 people representing the EA Bockers at the bigger events, as stated before, sponsorship will only pay for certain amount of people to go places. Meets wont be organised on the bases for display team or ea bockers, meets are for everyone.

I see why people may feel that way, the whole group is essentially sponsored by LSD, everybody will reek the benefits and you can all happily say your sponsored by an energy drink.

ok... dont want to start an arguement... but im a little confoozled...

wat kind of "big events"? is this like sports festivals? does tht mean the rest of us wont be there as EA's? like the whole group wudnt be able to go?

please dont take this as an arguement im just trying to clarify =]

Unfortunatley not, these so called " Big sports festivals/ Events" will be display team only, Local events would be anybody.

i agree with hilly it seems that the group has been divided  not into display team an ea's but in to people who can flip an do brilliant tricks an people who don't get invited along to anything and it bugs me

i think we should have people of all different skill levels in the team and it would also be good to pick some people who are good at teaching and who know how to help advise people

thanks for reading

The problem with teaching is it requires insurance, something we dont currently have, as for this display team, its representing an energy drink and it needs the best people possible in the group.

oh no, i can understand wanting a team to be of a higher skill level, i just dont think the EA community in general isnt what it used to be, and that this is just bringing it out into the open for everyone to see,

but it comes down to that last little bit

it needs the best people possible in the group.

you're telling us that we're not as good as you, not something people like to hear, and you're making it official, which just makes everybody else feel awful
and its not just who's the best bockers - its that you've all been calling the shots for ages, and nobody else is getting a look in at all and haven't been for a long time, the opinions of the larger group dont matter anymore because everything is going on behind the scenes and all we get is irregular updates to which we have no chance of input, because its already decided and done
