ThomasNguyen, yes, thats what big corps do they take an innovative Idea and cash cow it, and that in and of itself doesn't nessicarily benifit the sport other than the fact that it forces the smaller companies to go back to the drawing board and do what they do best; innovate, the benifit mainly offered by big corps is the money and advertising the pump into the sport, but hey if you think there would be a protour, videos, websights and magazines (things that are nessicary to the "survival" of the sport by anyones "definition") with out the big companies pumping money into the riders videographers and the events(I.E. the street and toe jam contests) you go ahead an find new finaceers and Ill eat my shoe, and SeaDoo is an excellent example of a very large corporation making a product they hope will allow them to cash in on a young budding market, there biggest concern is makin gmoney, Im fine with that as long as it's aquality product, but they certainly arent"pushing the sport" and I dont see anybody pissin gin their cheerios, and as far as my "bragging" it's nothing of the sort, the facts are simple, that is how buisness works, and it's not a pardigm that is exclusive solely to the wakesports industry, if you have a better understanding and are going to call me out I suggest you step up your game.

I never said we need to get rid of big companies. I personally would be extremely happy if there was a big company similar to cassette or integrity in the sense that they have more money to test "riskier" designs and material concepts. Basically your first half of the argument is thrown completely out the window cause you're arguing with a statement I NEVER said.

Tell me, in your seadoo example what would be a small company that they could steal from? Is seadoo, yamaha, kawasaki and etc waiting for small companies to come out with new products to steal from, or are they funding engineers to improve there products?

[kento911]

the first half of my arguement addresses this staement DIRECTLY re read it ,and form an opinon free of logical fallicy, here Ill even highlight the important part for you.

[kento911]

on a side note I think the wakeboard/skate edition SeaDoo eliminated WakeDesigns market for PWC specific accessories rather effectively and swiftly, but that is a digression from my main point.

of course non sequitor doesn't seem to bother you, perhaps you could analogize me into Bush, Rumsfeld, or Cheney again

I DONT think anyone is anti-corp, i think were just anti wake corp. and pro roc.


p.s you mods should try doing your jobs and split this topic like 3 pgs ago

[kento911]

PIRATE, if you feel the urge to help us mod, PM us, I know I persinally dont respomd to backseat modding unless somebody is going absolutely apeshit

[BillyOLDS]

i think this whole topic should be deleted but w/e, people have there own opinions about big time corp0s and small comps, but in the end we need em both to keep this sport going. i know i will give my money for the board and company i prefer, wether or not the make millions a year or not.





about seedoo, i think there sji's absolutely suck, everyone ive riden behind completly blew, including the triple crown, and the newer version. i own a honda and absolutely think it blows seedoo's products away.
