How can you call burnouts a sport? Spose it's much the same as those sound system competitions, bogans doen stuff.
Burnout comps are similar to fringe sports like synconised swimming, just without the skill, talent or intellectual capacity to do anything else that requires an ounce of expertise. Don't get me wrong, I'm not being derogatory if all you can do is skids then I'm sure your folks would be proud of you.
That's your opinion, which you are entitled to....From my prospective, I see it as getting people off the street to do it....I have also seen where it has gotten dole bludgers off their asses and not doing drugs, or knocking peoples stuff off and actually gained employment.
So yes, it maybe bogan like, but if it prevents some low life knocking stuff off, doing drugs and actually do something constructive with their lives, so be it.
My niece actually sells stickers and T-shirts at burnout competitions, and puts the majority of her profits back into helping handicapped kids....The buyers are fully aware of why she is doing it....So you be the judge, whether they are using their intelligence, or whether they are bogans
Is there skill involved?....You have to learn how to throw a car around on a pad, without hitting things.....Some of the top fellas are actually doing close to 100 KPH, wheels smoking, when they throw it around and not hit a wall, or a tyre bundle....You be the judge
