Well, I suppose if I put my mind to it, I could, but what is my incentive?
To win something ?
Well, without in any way meaning to appear arrogant ( I promise), I have won everything there is to win so it comes down to a pride thingy.
If somebody came up to me and said, 'Hey Pete, here's a hundred grands worth of backing, go do it', I might consider it but until that time, I think I might just enjoy my time chillin with Backlash, sitting back and admiring the Russian Legion and spending loadsa time with my other half.......ahhhhhhh....bliss....

Well yeah, I suppose I could get them but I refer you to my previous post and also the team would need hard cash to pay for hotels, flights etc to make it easier for the younger player to commit himself.

Yeah just read that post now lol

Yeah I can see your point for not wanting to do it but alot of it is having the contacts to do it!
The only people big enough to be able to back the team would be someone like AGD Europe or WDP and then you gotta ask why would they bother, so I guess we'll just continue to be seen to suck in the eyes of the yanks(not Corrosion)

Mr Big has started to build a degree of animosity betwix Brits and Yanks. With us K2 Ultimate Baddasses being so awesome I suppose any bad comment about UK ball doesn't really apply to us AND we are officially Yanks this weekend (I found a way of getting cash buy the way for the weekend dude) which poses an odd situation.

Picture the scene.

500 crazy brits are foaming at the mouth trying to eat any Yank alive but wait, you see the sparkling blue outfits of the K2 baddasses amongst them?? so you ask yourself, did he fire six shots or only five...hang on, wrong scene....erm....do you (a) be hardcore and start an ole fashion western style bar brawl or do you (b) run like hell 'coz Corossion are big ugly baddasses?? Or do you (c) kiss n make up coz everone loves the Machine™?

Damn Latham I am glad you guys are playing with us this weekend. I wouldn't want to get into a brawl with 130 Brits on 6 Yanks. Well I have my trusty Keg o' beer handy so I am not scared

Yeah don't you guys (not K2)(everyone at the mouth to lite a Yank up) come looking for Corrosion to beat our asses. We are the good guys remember. Besides we are headed to Nottingham for beer and Paintball. Not beer and brawlin! Not that I don't mind a good ol' fista cuffs after a gallon or 2 of beer! LOL Only Joking guys!

 

[Mr Big]

Why are people making out that I was specifically trashing the Brits? My original statement, which I stuck to, was about all non-US teams. It was the rest of you that got a bee in your bonnets about defending British honour and all. Just fighting my corner!

And besides, what have the belgians ever done for us?
