I see where they added more Jr divisions and it made me think. Where and how do JR men and women train to get the pro rank? Are there special camps? Is there a place where you have coaches and boats and lakes with obstacles? Or do you just train with your buddies?

It seems it would be really tough for a non-Florida kid to break in. Not only do you not have the weather, you don't have a lot of peers riding at that level to help you get there. And where would you learn to hit a transfer box?

I know there are camps but at 1500 to 2700 PER WEEK- OUCH. Hats off to the kids that do make it, especially if they are from the North or other non weather friendly states.
