I call BS on all of it. We don't have this type of event, all we have here is a list of events that don't compare, and a list of (and reference to additional) excuses.
Don't be offended, step up and make a difference. How do we make this happen?
HINT: Stop asking why people don't do these events, and start asking why people go to Texel. I can promise you that it has nothing to do with any of the excuses above.

Okay Mike, why do people attend Texel...?
That is the question to ask.
...but not the events in the US?
That is not.
The key is to find out what drives people to events, and give them what they want. Knowing what they don't want helps to make sure they return, but people will go out of their way (and spend lots of money) if the event is something they really want to do.
So, again, why do people love Texel, and what do we need to do to get that turnout here?
