What's funny is that we act like the USAPL/IPF needs the sponsorship from the gear companies. Errrrrrr, where do you think the gear companies are getting the money to pay the IPF?

Hell, the IPF should outlaw gear all together. Maybe the lifter would have to pay a larger USAPL membership fee and/or meet entry fee because of the lost $$$ from Inzer and Titan, but we (the lifters) would end out spending far less than we currently do because we'd save LOADS of money on gear that doesn't really prevent injury and doesn't even offer an advantage (since everyone is wearing it).
