THE WHOLE THING!!!
Quite often those shows are ones that are closer for the majority of the team, thus we go to those instead. I can tell you right now that madison is a hell of a lot farther than gary for 90% of DOA, plus to be honest they are just a lot of fun. Don't get me wrong, I love jeremy's shows, but sometimes we like to do the closer shows at fun venues that we know pepole whom we usually never see will be at. Do people get beaten badly? Sure, but 99% of the time they do it with a smile on their face as they get a demo afterwards. Hell, I embarrass people on a monthly basis at the MECA shows I do when I do a 152+ with the single 10" while guys with 2 12's barely crack a 140, 2 15's not even a 145, and so on. They don't come at me hating, they come at me asking how to get louder.Well I can't speak for the rest of Wisconsin but here is how I see it. DOA will go to "hood" shows. Which is cool I do to, so do many of us up here. But to go beat up on the little kids with setups doing 155-160, which is just humiliating. Then not show up to a show same distance (Madison,Wi as example, and Gary,In) with competition that would actually be on an equal playing field. To me it says something, maybe im getting the wrong message though? Looks like to me people wont pick on people their own size (class). But time and time again its been the same thing over and over. Not like its one show, then id never have fallen to that judgement.
And your right Tommy, sometimes I do drop to a level which makes me look just as bad as others. I appreciate you calling me out on it. Just find it immature to make wall posts and what not, felt my act was much more kind in a sense.
DOA doesn't care about equal or unequal playing fields. Hell, half the time they don't even care about the show. Plenty of DOA guys will go to the show just to hang out and not even compete. I know I have. People get hung up on numbers vs. numbers and forget about having some fun.
