Damn, this is why wakeskating will get no where! Everyone just assumes shizzle and starts a bunch of drama. I put Scott Byerly next to Thomas Horrel. They are founding fathers in this industry. Remember your roots.

Lemme hear it Evil or Very Mad

I get pretty nostalgic with hyperlite making wood wakeskates now. It makes me even more psyched to have an old grubb from 02. the days!

Raven is right about getting old and riding! (but the bottom line is people like us or people like byerly will always ride.) And it's easy to talk on a message board and say someone's washed up and they need to move aside, blah blah blah, but if you're in the position of receiving that critique, especially if you (the recipient) feel otherwise, it's quite different. Not to mention this is a web video from a little trip.

electricsnow, well said....

there are alot of kids out there throwing bangers all day...but ill be honest. i would rather watch byerly, aaron reed and danny ride any day over anyone. u never see them guys throwing 3 flips and whatnot. but they are the OG of wakeskating. the best style of any riders out there. no one is ever washed up in this sport in my eyes. thats why i love it, i feel like even if your 50 years old and u can get up on a skate and enjoy it its the best thing out there.

to much criticism is why the world is like it is. to many people thinking they are better than everyone else. always trying to one up someone. lets not forget who pioneered this sport...the guys in that video... mad respect to them "old guys" they still rip

I agree with a lot of what you said coricluster. And I guess to add on my behalf, people see riding going a certain way which is fine. but change doesn't happen overnight. And this isn't to say that things are always fair in the industry, but riders can also get disposed of if they aren't viewed as an asset to a company. right now people like BT are viewed as an asset to the byerly brand. there's nothing more to sweat.

byerly had the sickest skate part in hyperlites all or nothing, i remember watching his part over and over again, he may not be on the frontier of wakeskating, but he's getting it out there, and taking it in a right direction, and in my opinion spreading the sport like a champ.

electricsnow, Yellow foam top got me so pumped. I remember thinking grubb must be cheating and is attached. A three of a kicker OMG!!!!

I'm 32. If you were into back then you just never forget how those guys inspired you. I just like to "shred." or whatever that means to me. I like to watch chris haslam skate. I like the feel good vibe. Remember when GD almost landed a kickflip off an incline. Holy sh*t, anything is possible.

I wasnt trying to say that they were washed up. I was just trying to start up a conversation about how there are no spots available on teams for the new up and comers.

Its kinda dumb how pretty much everyone has the same tricks on a wakeskate. People need to get more creative.
