flixmaster, no, you're a wakeboarder.com'er when you're over here. Throw a wakeskating.com link in your sig and maybe we'll let it slide.
bobby211, I'm the same both places too. Off topic is more fun over here but there is way more info for us over at ws.com. _________________

Yeah, why do you have a link to this website in your signature?
Wakeskating.com sucks. Only on that website will you have a thread be hijacked TWICE in the direction of girls and/or their anatomy and TWICE will it be put back on track by teen-aged dudes!

Not really any point.
Almost all the people who see me for me (the guys that were on there before I was in the mags), I've met in person and know them off the site as well. All the new kids that are taking over the site look at me in another way that seems to distort my purpose for being there.
I can't offer help over there anymore, it doesn't seem genuine to anyone.
I joined wakeskating.com because I liked how chill and stoked everyone was back in '03. That site is the reason I started wakeskating. After I started skating, it was all I wanted to talk about and wakeskating.com was the perfect place. I met a ton of really cool people (I still wanna get back down to the keys and meet the whole crew) and I've learned a lot from that site. It's got so much to do with why I'm so deep into this lifestyle.
Now, instead of stoke for other wakeskaters being the norm over there, it only comes in anecdotal reminders here and there. I do what I can to keep it positive, but a lot of times it comes back to me as negativity because people who don't know me question how genuine my vibe is.
Wakeskating.com will never again be what it was, but it is what it needs to be...
keep the stoke alive

Nick Taylor, don't worry we'll always have a pair of bindings waiting for you here.
I used to post there but not a ton, probably around the same time.. 2003 or so?? But I barely get enough time to wakeboard so I don't wakeskate that much anyway. |

Nick Taylor, word, I don't wakeboard, but I spend a lot more time reading the nonwake over here. It's entertaining for sure.
I just keep my eyes on wakeskating.com to see what new boards are coming out and what not. Congrats on you guys selling out on the first set of pre-orders by the way... I was pretty lucky and got on the list. Can't wait to get a new deck out here. |

It is a pretty harsh vibe over there right now. I've noticed the difference just in the year and a half that I've been on it. Hopefully its just a phase that can be turned around. Maybe just bad winter mojo that will go away sometime soon. Maybe just need to lock argumentitive threads faster so people will figure out there is no point in the stupid arguing for the sake of arguing.
I know the weather is warming and I think about hitting the water every day now! Can't wait til my first trip out in a couple weeks. Cold water be damned, I'm going for it anyway!! _________________

Unfortunately, it's been a pretty harsh vibe for quite some time now, and I don't see it getting any better any time soon. It's been that way for as long as I can remember, to be honest.
The way I see things there reminds me of this bar that was next to my friend's old house. It was a bar that apparently attracted a ton of gay guys to it. The owner finally got sick and tired of the cleintiele so he just shut it down and sold it. And then it became a sports bar and the same thing happened, and then it was a Mexican place for awhile. But according to the article that I read about it, the same group of people kept coming back to the site no matter what was done to change or improve it. Kind of an interesting read, actually. But that's kind of what wakeskating.com reminds me of, because you can try to change things over there all you want, but in the end you're gonna have to let things just run their course and hopefully people will grow out their antics.
Either that, or I'll have to dust off my wb.com police attire and break out my new taser. Ont, cue the wb.com police graphic, please! _________________ www.TheLiquidPlayground.com

Oh, and Nick, I do believe you are required by law to start a new thread and throw a sh*t fit about how you're leaving and then publicly ask electricsnow to delete your account because you're never EVER coming back. I realize that you're probably just taking a break from the site, but really, this is just a formality. _________________ www.TheLiquidPlayground.com

The whole ERA wakeskate thread was a waste of time and breath. I am still bewildered as to why mods didnt lock that b!tch up. I have notice recently, that a lot of users are posting just for the sake of posting, to up there count. I find it very annoying.
Also, I've noticed a lot of point less thread being drawn up, much like the ones in General wake here ( ). People posting Ebay auctions in Classifieds that arent theres also grinds my gears. Your possibly ruining someones auction that you want to keep low, by advertising to God and everyone who have more money than brains. _________________ 04 LF Trip 133

Every winter the vibes go down the shitter, but what I was talking about is still an irreversible process. Going all mod-nazi is just going to create backlash against people who totally don't need it.
It used to be that ws.com was my only window into the world of wakeskating. Now that I'm living it every single day, it's more of a way to keep in touch with people I've met through it. It's become less and less about that for me over the last year and it's almost just habit now. I liked some of the discussion on there, but I feel like there is a growing anti-nick taylor sentiment over there. It's slow and hardly noticeable on the surface, but the tides are changing. Just look at who it was fun to hate on in 03-04 and you'll see what I mean.
Oh well.

Can you elaborate on that? It seems with the people that like to shoot thier mouth off to feel good about themselves that they would feel even more spectacular directing thier stupidity at a recognizable and somewhat famous person such as yourself. I'm sure its nothing personal, but I'm also sure that doesn't make it easier to deal with.
I always thought it was pretty cool to see the pros posting on that site. I felt like a detective every time I matched a rider to thier screen name. _________________

Nick Taylor, you are perhaps as great a legend as Thomas or A.Reed. I dont see how some of these kids are anti-nick, but if that is how you feel, all I can say is I have been reading ws.com long before joining and seeing you and parky back then being the butt of every joke, was quite entertaining. Now as your fame has grown, I witnessed people respecting and looking up to you a little bit more. You, in fact, are one of the only two things that motivated me to start skating. (The other one being weak knees)
I hope things turn out for the best and you decide to come back...for good. I'll be waiting for you.
On a side note, as far as people posting for the sake of upping their post count, I find it a little rediculous for someone who has joined after I, to have over 2k already. I thought I posted alot over their, but I guess not. _________________ 04 LF Trip 133

Nick, i dont think anyone wanted you to leave or is anti-Nick Taylor. I wish i coulda been on the site when it was chill, i joined when everything was getting weird. Most of the people on the forums are good guys (and gals) but there are a couple of people who bewilder me with pointless angry comments. I've met alot of really cool people on the forums, and learned so much, im not ready to give it up yet. If things get any worse, i dunno what ill do. We'll have to wait and see.
Oh, my name on there is WAKEMan1, just like here. |

I honestly didn't mean to rub anyone raw by posting that. I just don't get the fact of collecting those decks, maybe I would understand it if I had the coin to spend on that. I rarely ever post on that site either, more or less just read and hardly post. Hell I got flammed for my sn(same as here) on that site as well.
I'll never forget the post about some kid wanting to buy a flat deck for his first board. A ton of people came on and started throwing out their favorite board at the moment and what not to buy and didn't even bother to read what he wanted. A. Reed came on and squashed all the flat deck/beginner bashing and all of the sudden everyone started proclaiming their love for flats decks. _________________ RIP DLS.

yea there seems to be a few people over there on the site that just love to kill good vibes or feel the need to be a douche for no particular rhyme or reason but whatever
the reason i go on there is to meet and ride with new people, which i have and everyone i've met off there is cool as hell, also to here updates about products, wouldn't be getting a new integ if i didn't , and i buy, sell, and trade alot over there to try new things |
