Posted: Sep 23, 2016 2:33 pm Post subject: New soft goods from remote |
|
|
For anyone who cares, remote put their new hats on their website, including a rad bucket hat that I will own. Getting all preachy for just a minute; I think it's really important to support the brands that support wakeskating...which ever ones you believe in. If you can't buy a board, the soft goods and accessories are another way to support a brand.
You know, maybe buy a watermonsters handle too?? IDK OMGGG! How are there not already 60 wakeskaters who either want a mainline combo or just a handle?? (30 of each were made) I just looked at their site and there are only two board models left--that's a good thing!!
But seriously...I think it's important. Weird aside, I like looking at shops that sell wakeskates, and right now I'm not even seeing any on buywake. When I search wakeskate on their site, I get a wakesurfer. This is the shop that collaborated with DVS with the first wakeskate shoes, and with remote to release the limited horan; they also sponsored ben and danny. I don't know what's up and maybe that will change...all of that going on just makes me feel like it's important to support brands if you want to see them stick around. _________________ *The opinions expressed are on my behalf and not those of wakeskating.com* |

electricsnow, yeah there was a surprising lack of product in 16 out there. I can't even pick a skate up locally. I also just had to retire my obscura handle. Sadly I didn't pick up a wm handle,just bc I like a wider grip (idk I'm old fashioned that way). I am loving my new WM skate tho. I like that there is new stuff on their site but skates, handles, jackets, and shoes are more of what I would like to see out there.
I just wish I could buy a pair of nike's from the remote site or wm site. ( since they are so committed to the wake scene) they should let these guys make 40 bucks a pair off people like me to fund "thank you" edits.
I don't have an option to get anything like that locally anymore.
Used to be a day I could walk into 3-5 local shops and pick up any brand skate and even a pair of Byerly reefs!
My Nike Ws shoes are dead, one of my Dvs Casette shoes ran away, i destroyed the obscuras in like 2 rides and now I have to resort to a backcountry.com/ccs/actionvillage discount bin
You know every now and then when on the road I swing in a Nike outlet and find last years brattas, or mavk low's (the best imo) super cheap, that would be killer if they could offer the last year closeouts in like a bargain bin (winch shoes!) |

I absolutely love the WM handle. The smaller size is so nice.
I was also lucky enough to get a new remote hat at expo. I can't wait to pick up some new stuff |

Rad wakemitch! And that's all good to hear. I definitely didn't intend to start this to have it be a debbie downer fest or an airing of grievances (that's what festivus is for). (and how do I never learn my lesson?) I guess the point is to try and support wakeskating if you can. I remember being really psyched on ordering cassette shirts right from those dudes, and I ordered mutiny tees when it was erich and randy. it's still the same--you're buying right from the dudes who are trying to make stuff happen. _________________ *The opinions expressed are on my behalf and not those of wakeskating.com* |

I don't think it's weird because I"m not spinning a 720. Honestly, that's close to what wakeboard handles used to be like. They lengthened because of the big time money booter spins. _________________ *The opinions expressed are on my behalf and not those of wakeskating.com* |
