Support Erich (Integrity) and support Thomas. (Cassette)

I'm tired of all this money going to the people who dont give a fvck about wakeskating, and the people who care the most and started it all and were there since day one, are the ones strugling to even make it. It's almost like Erich and Thomas wrote the book and now others are using their words and resources to make the money that Erich and Thomas should be making. these biters are robbing the sport of its roots and how it should be. I know both of these guys personaly, and their love and passion for the sport is just amazing.

Who remembers the days where Thomas was riding a cut down Mutiny
wakeboard with no vest doing huge BS 360's wayyy long ago? (this was when Thomas looked alot like me, with missing teeth and piercings and colored hair) Yea, Thomas and Erich had a dream... Thomas was riding for Mutiny at the time and They started wakeskating and fell in love with the sport. Their art and ideas were amazing... Two intelectual artists molding the sport... Man Mutiny and Cassette were HUGE! the money was there to be put back into the sport (not into some rich fvck in a suits pocket) It was GOING to be perfect.

...But lets fast forward in time a bit. Where are they now? Struggling to make boards this year, barely getting by. And who is to thank for that?
(The biters with the money, and i guess the people who supported those biters.)

Ok so now i pissed some of you off! im sure a lot of you kids who don't get it are going to start talking shiz about me and this post, but I really don't care. It needed to be said, wakeskating needed someone to say it. and the ones who do understand are the only ones who matter to me anyway. There are too many c0ck sucking bastards in this sport that play the nice guy all of the time, I say whats on my mind, i'm not fake. (most of you hate me for that, but i love it.) I refuse to see these guys anywhere but on top of the industry.

How can you guys be so blind? Do you love wakeskating? Of course you do, thats why you're here! So how about you give back to the guys who started it all from day one, and not the ones who just jumped on the bandwagon! I know alot of you on this site scream out "support rider owned" well... how about you support the guys who made the whole thing happen? lets stick it to the man. Come on guys, Support Erich and Thomas.

LETS MAKE A COMEBACK BEFORE THE DOWNFALL OF THE SPORT!

LETS GIVE BACK TO THE ROOTS, AND TO THE ORIGINAL IDEA!

LETS MAKE A REVOLUTION, A WAKESKATE REVOLUTION!

...yea wakeskate revolution is back, and like i said...
the people who know are the only ones who matter.
Hate me or love me... It needed to be said.

soy escuala,

WORD!

What is your take on GB? He has been around since whenever, he is indie.

I agree with everything you said btw.

for the record, i ride an integ 04 and GB impala. I also have a kampus as well.

But if you are really making a point, what board shorts, vest, shoes, wet suit and water veheicle are you using? Dont stop at the skate!

scott a,

Right now? No I don't think so. I would think he wants bigger and better things for Integrity.

vance, Exactly. We all do!

Integrity makes the most solid non gimicky boards out there... designed by Erich who was in it since day one. still people rather buy 12 LF's? I just don't get it. He puts his heart and soul into it all... and each board cost him almost as much as he sales them for because the material is so expensive. I know i'd rather pay a little more and have a solid board, then be riding a peice of a tree from china! Sure Integrity could make bank if we got our shizz was made in china. but the boards would suck and break in a day.

The sport is so new, i just want to see it back into the original molding hands of it all.... Not into the pocket of the money hungry suits in this whole wakeskating monopoly.

So i wanna say that if there's anyone out there thats cares about the sport...
And wants to see Wakeskating continue as an art form and not a commercial good.
Then now is the time to make a change.... because that's the way it's going...
And there will no longer be real wakeskating if we keep letting them shuv it down out fvcking throats.

So i'd like to draw a line in the sand and say, you're either with us or agianst us.

soy escuala,

I take it from your non-repsonse to my question, that GB is a hack?

And FYI, Jack O'neill made the very first wetsuit, so if you use anything else you are a hack! He is rider owned too.

Not hatin SE!

i don't care about wetsuits.

soy escuala,

so is GB a hack?

you post this long message but screw wetsuits? i guess being indie for decks is kewl, but anything else doesnt matter?

hard to take someone seriously when they have selective double standards.

soy escuala · Backside 180 Joined: 16 Jan 2006 Posts: 2248

jacque_mehoff, WTF did GB do for the sport? ok yea they're cool whatever...
but i dont rember gator ever wakeskating and trying to push the sport like Schmaltz and thomas did back in the day. you're right, they are rider owned and everything... and still around and doing great.

BUT THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO STAY AROUND! gators dad is a millionaire.

thats what i think about GB.

and my post was about wakeskating.

not fvcking wetsuits... i can care less which direction making wetsuits goes.

soy escuala,

you are right!

you do realize I ride an integ right?

I am not saying you are wrong brudda, i am just saying its not kewl to support a rider owned skate company and then buy your board shorts from china! what is the difference?

i see contradictions.......

one last thing, if there was no skiing, no wakeboarding no wakeskating.... see the pattern? so when you say, what has GB done for wakeskating, didnt he bring the twin 69 to Byerly in retrospect? there is an evolution of all sports.

if you really think wakeskating would be here today without wakeboarding you are sadly mistaken.

i dont think wetsuits are related to any specific sports, so what kind of wetsuit you buy doesnt really matter.
