Gee sounds like fun, I like the fact that its delivered in such a way that it allows the potential for a few minor abrasions and bruises
Seems to me that provides way more than just bragging rights, I'd say its the stuff that teaches situational awareness and risk management imo...
Kinda makes me consider getting involved in such things to be honest.. I may have to look into it in the near future ?...
What are the prerequisites ?
Kids will be kids, its easy to deviate off the rails for many reasons.. Most of the off the rails kids, I've met have not had good mentors in life... It can have a long lasting and positive effect, when someone (that cares) takes the time to actually listen to you and takes you under their wing and teaches you useful and positive things, when you are a kid...
Equally negative impact on the other side of it
Thankfully, I was lucky and had good mentors that took the time and effort..
to them all
Shaped my life for the better they did..
