are you serious? nick is on integirty, and guess what? he has integrity... and respect...and values. he wouldent ride a hyperlite skate ever in my opinion, for whatever amount of money.

its hard to bealive but not everyone in the world is a sell out.... some people would actaully be pore than take the high rode of money and fame if it conflicts with what the belaive in......

Grouch i know thats what you would say...... someone needs to tell us what needs to be done.... and you are the man to do it.... ohh i agree Razz

Wow, this got far off topic. Anyways, I guess that you'll have your hardcore ROC guys and the corp guys, and they will have their differences. THis really isn't going anywhere. The integ guys can keep saying what they want about big companies or how crappy their products are, but its not changing our minds. Seriously, just let everybody ride what they like, were all wakeskating here. Electricsnow is a big breath of fresh air because hes the only one not blowing things out of proportion. Otherwise, this whole forum would be constant bashing and wouldnt even be worth looking at. I respect the ROC guys because they are wakeskaters, but since i have a hyperlite we shouldn't have to get bashed. I dunno, hopefully we can all come to good terms share useful knowledge rather than bashings.

Yes they are a corporation!!! and I would way rather ride an integrity, but to be fair nick, do you use linex instead of windows>, do you grow your own vegetables, not eat at taco bell and Kfc? Do you pay outrageous prices for gas? I sure hope your on a mac right now! Rider owned is a good thing, but if some kid wants to buy a byerly or a gate let him and let him make up his own mind. I had a byerly and the side wall blew out, and the foam wore off. Someone else might still have that board and be loving it. And whether they "stole" or not they were the first company to give wakeboarding a name and make it a legit sport. And last time i checked wakeskating would never come around if it werent for thomas cutting on the old blunt 69's. (which were wakeboards made by waketech)
but thats besides the point.... The point is that reed and thomas were part of the hyperlite family and they are still in the videos( Butter Effect) they get invited to all the contests, and cassette has a good business relationship with them. OH snaps Justin Stephen's made Asterisk and that was a bad ass wakeskate video! oh hes on liquid force now I guess we just have to forgit about his existence?? Yeah same with george daniels god forbid he ride a pretty decent skate and get more money than any of you ever will. My point is that the byerly toe jam will be cool next year of maybe you and ryan just get invited.... and you guys will rip.... let your riding do the talking.... it does say alot. I hope byerly and those guys don't read on this site. Hey nick have you talked to reed about the whole stolen board thing? Yeah you can not respect me or whatever but erich is doing something really cool and i will ride an integ over anything i have riden. But lets not forgit the world is an evil corporation.

I just wanted to add that reed and thomas weren't ever a part of the hyperlite family. Trust me, that's pretty important. Very Happy

ok close enough he had a contract with liquid force and when the factory went down for a week he could break the contract. When I got my 03' cassette it was still under liquid force. IN 04 they had problems so theres this year? And my point is that thomas and reed understand the benifits of being friends with hyperlite. As with most of the other companies they either don't have the chance or in many cases they have been over looked. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Plus God forbid that someone from a rider owned co actually ride and be friends with oh lets say scott byerly, I would kill to go ride with him just once. Im all for the small companies and thats what i ride but i could easily ride the 05 byerly and not shed any tears about it. Wakeskating is fun, I would ride your mom is she was a good skate. Were all here to have fun, last time i checked it was fun to wakeskate, end of discussion... Your mom's ride for hyperlite.... yuppies and sluts

Mike, I understand what you're saying and thomas did understand the benefits of utilizing a larger company's channels to distribute your product (especially since wakeskating was very small and he was trying to sell his stuff through wakeskate.com). That's what he did, and he worked it out so he's have creative control over cassette.

But I"m telling you, thomas would never pair up with hyperlite. Seriously, I won't say any more...

But as you ended it, ride what you feel comfortable with...and my mom wanted me to tell you that she's not a slut...

numb, I agree. . .I know Nick aint ever going to Hype. . . unless Schamltz gets rich and buys it out lol Laughing

and I deffinately respect his assloads for that

Nekkie · Posted: May 21, 2005 3:23 pm Post subject:

mikeskatesonwater, that whole argument about growing your own shizzle, going to taco bell or what ever is irrelevant...

wakeskating can't seriously be compared to that. You have a choice in your everyday life to spend your cash the way you want to. It's just the easy/cheapest choice to go for junk food and crappy products.

also, if you want to do certain things/use certain softwares you HAVE to be on windows... I don't see why you would HAVE to ride a hyperlite...

ROC and corp skates are about the same price and the quality goes hands down to ROC...

you choose what ever you want to ride, but just think about what you are supporting with your $$... that's all

You people treat buying from rider owned companies like its a religion... I love it. I also love the fact that some of you people argue about some things that you have no idea what you are talking about...

Nick_Sh, i agree that should make a statue and pray to it every morning, were talking about wakeskating, riding a piece of fiberglass or wood on top of the water, its not life and death, i can remember when nick taylor aka che blanc had brian grubb as his avatar picture, what does that say?

nick · Posted: May 22, 2005 12:12 pm Post subject:

It says I was caught up in the hyperlite bullsh;t because I didn't know any better. I now do and am spreading the word. And you can try to define wakeskating by it's appearance (riding a piece of plywood on water) but you will never capture the feeling in words. Wakeskating is my life and I live it.

-=AlexXx=- · Posted: May 22, 2005 12:36 pm Post subject:

ya, wakeskaitng is life or death! and just cuz grubb rides for hyperlite doesnt mean he isnt a sick rider. Grubb is CRAZY, and owns, and byerlys also, GD! all hyperlite. But they are sick riders. Having an avatar says nothing. And look at his avitor now.

gorath112 · Posted: May 22, 2005 2:05 pm Post subject:

-=AlexXx=-, no sH!+ i can obviously see that now but all i am saying is people ride different things at different times, and he just said he rode a hyperlite, read it!
