I never said living here didn't kick ass, I don't know where you got that idea from. I ****ing love it here and wouldn't want to live anywhere else, although I do want to come spend a year in North America.
I was simply saying that you guys aren't *relatively* paying that much for national level racing with good facilities, at least not compared to us. While a lot of things in Australia may be relatively cheaper than they are in the U.S, racing Mountain Bikes at a National level is not one of them. To be honest, we're probably BOTH paying too much to race our bikes.
Pip3r: The kangaroo I ride to work was attacked and killed by a drop bear (think a bigger, angrier, more carnivorous Koala) last month. I'm back driving until a new one wanders into my yard.
