no no reed hansen is my favorite rider of all nothing against him i was just wonderingthefunky31, because it would be awsome for them to have a wakeskate team

i don't want them to become like hyperlite and focus more on wakeboards and only have wakeskates as a side thing for more money though...

as the years have passed I think hyperlite has made more of an effort with their wakeskating, as in sponsoring more riders and having a group instead of scott byerly pulling double duty and brian grubb being the only wakeskater. Obviously the numbers have fluctuated over the years, and now you also have byerly's division which also has a legitimate team of wakeboarders and wakeskaters.

Ultimately, it is what it is. A lot of those companies make wakeboards and wakeskates, but that does not mean that their wakeskating division is not benefitting from that in some way or another. I don't see why it's an issue with hyperlite when CWB and O'brien are now trying to make serious wakeskates. If it doesn't matter with CWB since they are supposedly focusing on a skate with a well known rider, why should it matter with hyperlite? And please don't take that too personal either.

With ronix, I'm not claiming to be any expert on the subject, but looking at the company, the entire group of pro riders is tight--how big is their team comared to LF and hyperlite (as an example)? I personally don't see the pro team growing significantly any time soon, but that's my personal speculation on the subject.

electricsnow, Wait wait wait. Did hyperlite talk shizzle about CWB and O'brien or something?

no, just people on here making comparissons and saying this wakeboard company is making wakeskates as a side project for money and that's lame, but now this wakeboard company is making a board with a rider and it's cool, blah blah blah...

and if you're making a joke, I don't get it.

electricsnow, No joke. I feel the same way. If you refer to http://www.wakeskating.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17616

ronix try to have a small team of riders that will represent the company the best way possible. and their product sells it self because it is so amazing and they have the best riders backing it. each rider has their own line of product which is super steezy. in my eyes ronix is doing it the best way.

if any one on here are wakeboarders. buy the kai mana (sp?) which is adam erringtons board mainly because he is a good friend and he would impress a lot of people on here with his wakeskating abilities. just ask mr. taylor who the front shove king is.

sorry about the add campaign i get carried away.

Adam Errington would be wakeskater of the year if front shuvs were the determining factor Smash

KEEF, i think you got the front shuv and raley king mixed up. Drew magoo is the frontshuv king but no one can touch Adam's raleys.
