atasr5 said:Great thread. This is a very interesting read. Over here in Oz it is not that tough and not that raunchy. I guess that's why there are no top BB's from Oz over there. I'm not sure if that changes once the women from here go International. Not many make it over there to compete as the sponsorship here is not forthcoming. It is far to expensive for anyone to go there without finacial backing. There is no prize money here and we do it for the love of doing it. It is an expensive sport and most girls here only compete every 2 yrs due to costs.
I love reading about how the industry works over there and hope this gives me advanced knowledge if I ever make it to International level. The indusry here is far from the level of competition you have there.
I have this pic of a girl who competed in the State level last year and was nowhere ready for comp at all. Her trainer must have been insane.
Here is the pic............

Damn.
What are the costs for? There is no money in amateur and yet look at how many of us just here on EF compete. And you are looking at somewhere around $1000-4000 to do a show for no money. There isn't much money (little or no in FBB) in it here either. Honestly there are lots of people who get pro cards every year too so its not like its majorly exclusive either. Once you are at the pro level there aren't even that many worthwhile competitions unless you are the top 10 in the sport & get the invites.
