Buenos Noches wakeskaters,

Ive been reading what you guys have been posting and thought that I need to
clear up why I left the site. First off I was not banned. I asked dave
to delete my acct¡K..

There are numerouse reasons why, But before I explain that I want to to
explain a few things. I¡¦m writing this to encourage you all to stand up
for what you believe in no matter what the consequences are. Some may talk
bad, some may praise you. But no matter what remember that were all
wakeskaters. No matter what board we ride, weather we use Grip or Foam,
Fins or Finless were all wakeskaters. And that¡¦s what matters.

The whole Satt¡K Interview thing was lame, I know it was lame you know it
was lame they know it was lame. But that¡¦s not the reason I left either.
I honestly stopped having fun. There was always negativity and it seems
to me that there was a lot of bashing in the ¡§upper ranks¡¨ of the site.
And no one was standing up for what was right. People were throwing there
inhabitions to the wind as well as there Integrity. It¡¦s a sad day when
someone actually want¡¦s to fight you cause of the fvcking e-net. If I
offended any of you, I¡¦m sorry I take this site light heartidly and I
sometimes forget that you cant tell emotion when you read it. So again I¡¦m
sorry.

Someone once told me ¡§if you throw rocks at a dog your going to get bit¡¨
But how long can you hear a dog barking on the other side of the fence
before you finally say ¡§would you shut the fvck up already¡¨. It seems
like there is a lot of bitching going on and not a lot of action. If you
don¡¦t like the way things are going then guess what? Change it, Do it
your way and do it for yourself.

To sum it all up. I had a great time while it lasted But I really want to
focus my time on contributing too wakeskating and not just taking away what
I can. So in I¡¦ll end this with a quote from a Thrasher I was reading
the other day (isn¡¦t it funny how much reed pissed me off and now I¡¦m
stealing quotes from skate mags to. ƒº)

¡§in wakeskating you only get what you give, and if your constantly giving
s#it then that¡¦s all your going to get.¡¨

I¡¦m looking forward to seeing a lot of you this summer and riding a ton.
If you guys want to e-mail me you can at Piratewake@hotmail.com or AIM me

Thanks again Guys
Keep fighting
Brandon Livermore

Brandon.....is Dave's story about your new hook-arm true (Dave commented that Brandon got a real Pirate's Hook, and thus, typing messages on the Internet became too time consuming. That would help explain the bad grammar above)? If so, do you see the hook-arm having a negative or positive impact on your wakeskate career?

Just kidding buddy. You know we support you. See you soon.

I dont really have to miss Brandon much, b/c I dont only see him here, but I agree with his statement, Ive been pretty absent from this site for a while now too for pretty much the same reasons I come here, I look around do some modding if I have to , but I really dont enjoy participating much anymore too many people are using this site to push their agenda, and too many people have taken a turn to negative town
