personally i think this dude is a kook and should have went into early retirement as 'the grumpy old man' a decade ago. but unfortunately he's really good at snowboarding and people still seem to like him. anyways here's the quote-

Todd: I don’t know, cause Brooke’s humor can sometimes be misunderstood, and she is a Wake Skater. Which is like four notches below a rollerblader.

he has right

wakeskating is four notches below a rollerblader

But who cares? wakeskating is a very small sport!

he is just using that edgy and mean personality thing to try to stay relevant. So played out. So lame.

they obviously were joking

he kidded todd about turning his son into the next scheckler of wakeskating

so they obviously were trying to pick on brooke

i find it cool that snowboarders actually give a crap to mention it...

Yobeat: Would you rather have your son become the Ryan Sheckler of wakeskating or a Pornstar?

Todd: Porn dude, come on. But I don’t want his mom to know.

OTT Productions, dude shut up. Skim X is the biggest advancement in life for the past 20 years. I can't wait until it's in the x-games!!!!!

id rather have my kid be a pornstar than the best wakeskater in world cause he would actually make money. that was a pretty good interview if you dont think so your an idiot.

google world

skim x = 2.290 hits
wakeskate = 547.000 hits
rollerblade = 2.160.000 hits
skateboard = 20.300.000 hits
snowboard = 46.200.000 hits

that is not the real world but for sure a good approximation,
good interview

I find humor in this to be honest... The ironic thing is that I just had this conversation with a friend the other night.

Its always been this way and always will be.

Surfers think skateboarders are gay.

Skateboarders think snowboarders are gay.

Snowboarders think wakeboarders are gay.

Wakeboarders think wakeskaters are gay.

Wakeskaters think: enter whatever you'd like here more than likely there will be a few things.

Rollerbladers think well who cares cause I think the general consensus is that Rollerblading and things like Skim X are definitely gay.

So its all really a matter of opinion and most of it should really be taken with a grain of salt.

Do whatever it is you like to do and do it in your own way, if someone doesn't like it... tough shizzle. Your having fun doing something you enjoy.

Go get wet and learn a new trick or two. Quit worrying about someone bagging on wakeskating cause I can promise you he won't be the last.

I'm pretty sure the majority of that was a stab at Brooke more than anything... Just remember wakeskaters! Nick Lipton loves you all!
