Grizz asked the other day if anyone was organizing a KITH this year, but no one really said much. I was way too new last year to try it, mainly a confidence thing. I'm still new, but I've gotten a lot better. I wondered why the lack of response to Grizz, is everyone just too busy? I've looked through the forum and there appears to have been a KITH for about the past 5 years or so. So, my first question is the same as his: will there be one this year?
Second question. I wonder if a lot of "pro" builders shy away from the KITH because of us newbs? I can understand not wanting to trade a $500 blade and receive a newb attempt. Soooo......how about a newb only KITH? Has that ever been tried? Maybe set it up for guys that are only part time makers with less than 2 years experience. Or maybe, less than 4 years experience? Something along those lines? Opinions and ideas?
