We miss you Peelout here, come here more often !

I just did a little house cleaning, there are a few members who needed a little bit of a break today...

Since you asked, here’s what you seem to have missed: 1. Re. Parents thinking their kids are showing world class potential and following unrealistic dreams- Unlike the dreamers, the Lawrence’s actually travelled internationally as juniors and competed in World junior titles. So they already knew they were ‘world class’, hence the international offer. 2.
