They are to against the grain and hardcore for that

Riders look for Integrity not the other way around Laughing

Integ is like the Chuck Norris of wakeskating

Send them a "sponsor-me vid"

I'm kinda thinking they are trying to get down to the core riders that actually look act and ride like a team the company first envisioned. And with most of their riders based in the Texas, LA area, as well as many other shredders in that area, it seems maybe they are trying to centralize the team to make it easier for team trips, videos, etc. Andrew is an awesome rider but seemed a strange fit to me on the team. Not the typical Mutiny/Integ mentality/attitude. Best of luck to you Andrew!

I could be way off on this though. just my opinion.

this is so strange but i agree with you overstreet31. i think integrity is a very strong and close company that want their riders to represent everything they stand for.

but andrew is a sick rider none the less and will shred on any board Very Happy Very Happy

I seriously doubt Integrity/Mutiny had anything to do with Andrew's decision to leave and move to Obscura.

Integrity/Mutiny is not trying to "keep its core team close"

Thats absurd...

Congrats Andrew. You deserve some attention for once. You are one of the best riders in the business right now and I know that this move will only push you forward in your progression as rider and a solid position with the core of the sport as a whole.

I love you... no homo...maybe Laughing

Not a chance. Integrity fire their best and most visible wakeskater?

You are the man Andrew. Congrats on the move, hopefully soon people will realize that you really are one of the best wakeskaters on this green Earth. Can't wait to see ya mate Twisted Evil

Maybe I worded that the wrong way guys....I know Erich didn't "fire" Andrew by any chance. I completely agree it was under his own will and all just like Nicks leaving was....I meant that I figured he was more like Nick and somewhat for the same reasons. Andrew thought he didn't fit into the team as well as others and realized this and did what he thought he needed to in order to get on a team with guys he felt better suited his style, needs, and location. Sorry for the mix-up guys. Still happy for Andrew none the less.

Anyone who knows Andrew knows he has been ripping for SEVERAL years now...This industry is funny to me Laughing He should have had pro models and high profile sponsorships long ago...

Congrats man.

Congrats Andrew! I have to say, it's like taking a new job, but you're doing the same thing. Engineers and architects do it. Medical professionals do it, hell we all do it sometimes. Good opportunity to make some more money and show the world what you got! Smash
