Wakeskating: Rider owned vs corporate companies

PIRATE · Guest

1st off i dont like people comparing these 2 sites, i'll probably be on here more then my own site.

2nd mods shouldn't be calling people bitches.

and last but not least dave i never said anything bad about this site and i never would, i think that this site is awsome, remember when you read this stuff that some people are assuming but only I know for sure what will go down.

SCBrips, wow, thanks for proving my point.

Who's to say they won't? And you wouldn't buy a sick skate just because it was made by a certain company? That's more corruption than I've ever seen from LF.

PIRATE, there's not a more apt word to describe people right now.

Past performance is a poor indicator of future achievement. Again, who can say?

I believe in wakeskating. Therefore I will ride wakeskates.

Morphine, nobody will ever know if a Hype or LF board will be better than the two, b/c the'll never try it unless somebody forces them, it's Image for alot(not all but alot) of theses kids, how doI know??? b/c thats how I used to be until I was forced to demo some HO products that I feel suit me very very nicely(with some minor modifications haha)

Josh, I'm just saying your first loyalty should be to wakeskating. Companies come and go, the sport remains.

I dont prejudge anymore, I give support to ALL who support my sport, small or big, a healthy mix of both is needed to create a thriving industry

You sound like Rodney King...

Grouch, I beg to differ, I could give a ratts @ss if we all get along, I cant help it if I have a better understanding of what it will take for the industry to survive as a whole in the long run in every industry, the small companies have to innovate to compete, and the big companies refine and spread it to the masses, thats a standard buisness model, all you guys hate big corps, but I dont see any of you boycotting Seadoo, Im sure there in it for the progression Rolling Eyes

I feel that by supporting the right companies, I'm helping to push the sport/art of wakeskating in the right direction, and lay it on solid foundations for the future.

Josh, scott a, I see what your saying and Im inclined to agree,(support what you belive) but I think Morphine, didn't word it right, b/c that doesnt seem like his style

Morphine · Backside 180 Joined: 03 Jun 2004 Posts: 1207 City: 706omg

Josh, all right. That's cool. I have to kinda clarify how you feel about it. You know there's a lot of guys on here who hate companies and shizzle and try to debase everything that everybody in the industry has worked for.

scott a, so let me get this straight, you're being a dick for no reason and telling me that my opinion is ridiculous which is basically what you said anything to me about my post in the first place.

I'm just saying, the companies shouldn't matter as much as the sport, and I understand that those two correlate, but fighting about companies DEFINITELY isn't progressing anything.
