Re: [RC] LD vs Endurance... can't we all get along? - CidinhaHello No Brasil, discute-se uma outra categoria: velocidade limitada - provas onde os cavaleiros têm um tempo para completar. São provas para se iniciar tanto o cavalo quanto o cavaleiro no esporte. Comparando com a Fórmula 1: todos os corredores tiveram seu início/aprendizado no Kart. Nenhum deles começou diretamente na Fórmula 1. Em todos os esportes existem as categorias de base, pois são elas que formam os profissionais nas categorias de ponta. Todos os jogadores de basquete da NBA já iniciaram em grandes campeonato ou foram se aprimorando nas faculdades/high schools? Há lugar para todo mundo: quem quer competir, quem quer somente participar, quem quer se divertir etc. A discussão sobre o Enduro/Endurance hoje deveria se voltar às altas velocidades que os árabes estão desenvolvendo. Caso contrário, teremos campeonatos onde os primeiros lugares serão garantidos pelos árabes e o restante do mundo disputando outras posições. Vide fórmula 1 com a Ferrari.

I pretty much can see both sides. Personally, I'd like to see some form of competitive LD if such a thing could be done safely, as I doubt I'll ever have the time, horse or money to do much more than LD (actually I'll be thrilled to get that far!).... but that does not mean I have no respect of those who disagree. So... let's stop bashing each other, shall we? Can we agree to disagree and not keep trying to undermine each other's legitimacy? Especially since THIS IS JUST A SPORT!? A.P. PS: actually the one rule I think should be changed is that LDs must be held in conjunction with 'real' endurance rides... if this were not the case, there might possibly be more LD rides available, at least here in the east, but I seem to be the only one who feels that way. back to lurking. ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ============================================================ When you ask a Quarter horse for something he says - Sure - and when you ask an Arab for something he says - Why? - ~ Heidi Smith ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ ============================================================ The whole ride experience can be very hard, and at times you question why you put yourself through such abuse.
