Re: [RC] GSFTR - rides2far@xxxxxxxx

I have a REAL hard time thinking that anyone from our sport gave him the 
cold shoulder.   


I have a real hard time handling the syrupy "Cowboy to the core" on a guy with 
bad wannabe biker tattoos, his shirt tail out in the photos, and a pony tail... 
I'm betting he'd get far more cold shoulders at the local branding. Those 
probably weren't even Wranglers!  >rolling of eyes<

We had a guy around here who was in to Hang Gliding, Bungee Jumping, etc. etc. 
He needed lots of attention when he went anywhere so he showed up at his first 
endurance ride in an "Adventure Man" superhero outfit complete with wings on 
his shoes. Everyone was nice to him, and pretty much ignored the outrageous 
outfit since it wasn't *that* different from what we wore. Once he got over the 
need to be the center of attention he was OK. I'm guessing this guy's the same. 
He goes for that "renegade" look for shock value but we're not easy to shock 
since we allow anything and everything. If he wants to show up and do Tevis in 
jeans more power to him but he needs to get over the "Wild & Crazy Guy" thing. 

If he wants to stand out he needs to do dressage or something. Send him south 
and put him between Bud Davison in his mechanic's shirt and jeans and Jim 
Barnett in his overalls & work boots and see how big of a deal his outfit is.
