anybody here remember the old days of when it was just one small thread, and not thousands of members? Those where the days....

i remember back to when there was no wakeskating.com and there was just a small forum that was part of wakeboarder.com

Greg, that is the sickest thing I've ever seen! Like, clicking on the forum and seeing old posters, namely Zero Walman...I get all tingly on the inside. Seriously, that guy was awesome and I always think back to "those days."

I like how I have a thread on there about the butter mag. Its still one of the sickest things to come out of the wake scene

i was on a dis. forum for a band when it was on the bands website... it was small like you are talking about.. when i joined it was about the size of this site now... today when you login there are usually a hundred plus users online... someone mentioned the old site the other day.. hell i had kinda forgotten about it.. this was before refreshing posts too Laughing

so if you replied to a thread, it didnt' go to the top..

Russian, it totally is. It really was ahead of its time...I think it would sell MUCH better now. Being younger, I really believed in that book, but I had no idea how small wakeskating actually was. And now, years later, it's still small but...you know, it was just smaller.

Anyway, I still look through that book on a regular basis. And I still have one in the box.

I think it's funny how there's also a thread on there by me, trying to buy some old cassettes. Very Happy

Some of that stuff is almost embarassing. Very Happy

yeah i remember trying to get ahold of one of the buttermag shirts and the book....never did get one.

Michael, I'll keep that in mind. I think the skate shop I sold some to still has theirs (in fact, i know they do. I think he forgot to put them out. anyway, I want them. Very Happy

)

Otherwise, you can try paco at paco@buttermag.com and see if a) he has any books left and b) if he can direct you to an online retailer that sells his shirts. I thought MIA used to sell them, among other fine miami botiques.
