What's the AA got to do with the ISA TCC? (Scuse the acronyms)

 

Okay, I don't know the terminology but the people who the run the event.

[James Atkinson]

Oh and well done on winning the comp mog that was a smooth masters climb

I honestly think about 90% of arborists aren't interested in comps I'm certinatly not. I'd rather spend my free time with my family or pick weeds out of my garden. I've seen a few comps at the shows and quite a few competitors seemed to be collage students I'm not knocking them but it doesn't make more entertaining for the spectators, I'll be brutally honest it is a boring 'sport' to watch

 

This is the feedback that the powers that be need. Why are "90%" of the industry not interested in the UK yet here it draws a lot of people? What are the cultural differences? Is it that the comps arent fun enough? Too many rules? Elitist? Boring? I think these are the important things for the ITCC to know about to improve .

Yep, well done Mog

[Ben Saxton]

A lot of the competitions you see at arbshows generally are student comps.

 

The ISA TCC should be held at an arbshow...its ludicrous hosting it anywhere but IMO

 

3atc have locked that down though haven't they?

But the man in the same tree who did the frictionhitchery vids won it.

That would be the ISA UK&I chapter. The AA is an entirely separate organisation

 

The chapter has a sub group that runs the TCC largely autonomously, unless things have changed drastically.

If I climb , I want to be paid... everyone to there own thing.....

Seen them before at shows and seem full of gear junkies.. Half the lads I see fly up the tree, but give them a saw and its game over.. As said each to there own

[Joe Newton]

Its disturbing that you want to see that

 

 

I might be quicker footlocking in a mankini. A true climber would see the weight saving advantages Steve
