everything is on youtube nowadays, skaters look at thrasher.com youtube channel for all the new video parts,, why doesn't a pro wakeskater create a Vlog like skater jon hill or andy shrock started revive skateboarders all through youtube.. i would totally watch nick taylor or someone upload random shizzle to youtube... doesnt even have to be skating can be mostly random talking and filming

WAKESKATING IS MISSING A LEGIT CONSTANT YOUTUBE CHANNEL WITH WEEKLY UPLOADS

or maybe there is already one and i dont know about it??

jboss, exactly my point everything is done through youtube nowadays,, if a shop or skater whats to sell more boards or make the sport more popular or whatever i think it needs to be done through youtube

youtube vlogs i think can make people nervous because you have to kind of put your balls on the line, not be camera shy and show your personality and what not,, but i think if a pro consistently did that the fans would follow,,,

look at this skaters john hill for example https://www.youtube.com/user/john2010hillbilly his videos are decently lame,, but he has 40,000+ subscribers and all huge like to not like ratio

considering that just the engine alone that is capable of pulling anyone around 180+ lbs out of the water costs on average around $350, yes, that is unrealistic

senza wake, very wrong

below is a 6.5 HP engine from home depot shipped for 159,,, also buy in bulk get discounts,,,, make connections get discounts,, scrap metal and pretty much anything metal for that matter is very cheap, as a prior machinist i can attest to that ,, I built my winch for under 600 and most of that price was the bulletline rope,, which isnt necessary

dirtyohioriver22, apparently it is possible to be more than wrong, very wrong huh?

well speaking from my experience, i have a friend who built his winch for around $900 using a 6.5 hp engine, and that engine couldnt deep water start him, or anyone really. he had to do additional modifications to his engine to get more hp out of it in order to be usable.

when i built my winch, i am incapable of doing the modifications he did to an engine so i had to buy a bigger engine. i could not find anything between 6.5 and 13 hp. so i had to buy a 13 hp. harbor freight for $360. i see now that there are 8 hp, but there werent at the time i built my winch a few years ago so that is where i get my info.

So nobody is going to give me any numbers on board sales?

All I know is Andrew Pastura and Ben Horan are probably millionaires from all the boards they've been slanging all over the world. Those guys need to fork over the cash or let us all come play in their backyards or we'll all boycott their boards. If they don't agree with our demands, we can organize a mass board burning and really send them a message. Who's with me?
