|

I'm currently riding an Oak and its getting old and beginning to look like it's time for a new board. There are a lot of awesome brands out there, so I'm staying open-minded. Anyone trying to get rid of any boards that they don't use anymore? _________________ Only the evil live to see their own likeness in stone. |

| -=AlexXx=-, what you are doing is called spam. you are not trying to sell a board, just advertise the company you ride for. its biased and shady, if you want to tell people to buy a new then why dont you pay for an ad on this site. |

| -=AlexXx=-, integrity doesn't have their riders advertise the way you do. I dont see Oak, Sattelyte, or any other company with ads on this site but they also dont have riders coming on the forums trying to push their products. there are more effective ways to help out your company then by being a billboard. |

Mr. Top Hat, Go look at general wake and tell me it isnt a billboard for integ.
I dont complain about that. The only reason ur complain about this is cuz your life is just that boring and meaningless. Get a hobbie.

-=AlexXx=-, integrity got a lot of shizzle about advertising in the past, its pretty obvious that anyone affiliated with them watches their word choice pretty carefully in order for those accusations to not happen. theres no need to bring my personal life into this conversation, it really has no place. if you are going to represent a company at least do it with a shred of dignity and class. there are kids out there who are so god damn stupid that they actually look up to you for no other fact then you ride for a company, at least for them dont be a tool about it.
gregbockhold, sorry for the threadjack |

Mr. Top Hat, What is the difference between a Integ rider and myself suggesting the brand we ride and love?
Check this thread: http://www.wakeskating.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27484&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
its full of it, but whats the problem, riders who love what their company produces and is backing that product up.... Please note the difference. im not forcing anything down any ones throat. You just look for things to attack me for because u think its fun! Its just funny when u fail so hard at it.... at least when u attack u should make it something legitimate instead of the good old "advertisement" thing, that got old last year buddy, and so did all your lame humor.
Nick, or Esnow, just delete all Mr. Top Hat's and my posts...
gregbockhold, sorry dude, just trying to help, some people on this site are not very nice  |

there is a bias, neither you or the integrity riders should be suggesting brands on this site. the difference is i see them explaining products and answering questions when i see you blatently suggesting products.
i dont think all of these posts should be deleted. the topic of advertising on this site has come up quite a bit recently, i think this thread should be split and moved so that other people can voice their opinions on the matter. |

gregbockhold, you should definatly try a NEW!
if you get a mogley the rocker is a lot differnt from an oak, it rides pretty high and fast in the water which i like a lot. also new's have about 2 more inches of room to put your feet because of the way the concave is designed + news are reallly stong....maybe stronger than oak?
Mr. Top Hat, there's no reason to argue, alex likes new so he's allowed to suggest them. just because you ride for somebody doesnt mean that you have to ride their boards..... you can always quit and ride something else. take wakemitch for example. _________________ http://www.stickandflick.com

| Gnarly Dancer 42, where do you draw the line for people representing companies though? if every rider from every company was pushing their product on this site the place would be so full of spam it would be useless. |

Mr. Top Hat, Just a Q.: What the he// is the piont of sponsoring a rider??
Isnt it to show that that person rides great, and he/she rides that companys equipment? Isnt it to get the company name out more, arent they supposed to push the product?? If not than there would be no reason to sponsor a person, exept to give them free stuff, which would be a poor decision for the company rite?? Having a rider push the product is great and helps! And like alex said, he isnt shoving NEW down anyones throat. He is the same as any other person on this forum that would be suggesting a product that he/she trusts and belives in! He only suggested NEW because thats what he likes and belives that is what the OP would like! People that like Integ. do the smae. Shmalts posts a whole bunch of stuff about inte, including new products that he is working on, so whats the difference between that and suggesting a company to someone??
OP A NEW would be a great board and I have heard nothing but good things about them. And you get to chose your graphic, as well as size I belive! Good like!![/b] |

i think you are missing the point that this is not the place for sponsored riders to be pushing the companies they represent, that becomes advertising. if a company wants to advertise on this site they should take out an ad and actually contribute to the website. If they dont want to take out an ad, then they should find a different place to push their products. this is a website for wakeskating, not business agendas. |

I have a ronix, hyperlite, and a gator that i would like to get rid of. They are all in excellent condition. But there are many other great options out there as well.
I have no problem with someone representing the company they ride for. Just have to remember it's all personal taste. Just because that person likes them doesn't make it perfect for everyone else. No one is forcing anything on anyone here.
Good luck with the board hunt!! _________________ www.backyardrailpark.com |

| Mr. Top Hat, I didnt think of it that way, but I still dont see the problem with it. All he did is suggest NEW, and thats it! What if a rondom person on here decided to post the same thin Alex said?? Would it be an advertisment then? NO! Its the same exact thing! It does not matter who says it, its still the same! If the owner of a major brand made an acount on here, then kept it a secret, and told people that asked for a good board, that fit the description of a board that company sells, would it be wrong?? What about the same thing with an average Joe?? |
