The GATE!

byerly and grubb both ride them. they probably just ride the 112 in contests because they are more comfortable on it . or maybe hyperlite doesn't want it to be released yet so they don't ride them at spots cameras are present. it is a sick ass skate. kicktails are where its at.

To me the Gate just looks like another attempt by Hyperlite to bring something into the market that is all gimicks. Honestly, who really needs a kick tail on a wakeskate?? Rolling Eyes

i think i can flip kyle a little poop. it was sweet of you to come running to his defense though. i'm sure he feels better knowing some fat country bunkin has his back. "speak about what i don't know" you say? just so more people here can see how much of an idiot you are...why don't you tell me how many people other than myself on this site have actually seen, not to mention ridden the gate? Are you one of those people? then i guess that makes you once again the jackass who is speaking about something he knows absolutely nothing about. why don't you get your nose out of every wakeboard magazine and get your fat ass out on the water. this way your opinion might mean something to somebody. You can't even ride, thats why your profile has the "hey look fat floats and so does my gay ass haircut" picture. i'll be coming down to koppert lake in sept or oct, why don't you join us. leave your vagina at home please.

You hurt my feelings, yes I can't ride until the end of August because of the knee surgury. The profile pic is a joke and over a year old I know I look like a jack-off so that is why it is there, yes I do have a gayass haicut but I an not a hansome hairstylist like yourself so maybe you can give me some styling/cutting tips. I guess 6'2" 190lbs is a little big, but I don't think I am "fat country bunkin" fat. By the way it is bumpkin not bunkin for the next time you insult me. I know most people on here wouldn't call me out in person after being so disrepectlful and not be afriad of what happens but more power to you. My "otiswunguy, sometimes you sould like you speak (type) what you don't know " statement was based on alot of things you type and was not in defense of Kyle but of my opinon of the stuff you type like the and oh yeah MUTINY right kyle? and the TS Bluntside statement, I laughed my a$$ off.

I was just giving you a little jib also, but next time you come at me like that I will meet you a Koppert and make you say sorry. I am a nice guy but you talk alot of crap and you will be called out one day.

Love Todd

you are not a nice guy, you are an A hole. i made a comment about kyles loyalty to mutiny, a great board company, as a joke and to show his preference of skates. you say that i speak what i don't know. i spend my time on the water learning by trying what feels right. you apparently have the wakeskate tricks 101 book memorized. too bad you can't pull a single trick. you should come to koppert so you can tell us the proper names of the tricks WE are pulling. i don't give a shizzle about about what tricks are called. i just care about what looks sick. i'll stick with riding, you stick with your career as an announcer. then we will both be in our natural element.

i like cassette also. in fact i kinda prefer the wood for sliders. w2w is hyperlite though.

I am sorry if you think I am an a hole and would like to call a truce. Have never made claim to my skill level as a wakeskater, but you seem to alot. I have learned the ones who brag are the ones who suck. I make no claim to my sick bag of tricks like you. I have a great time on the water and have done 5 months of rehab to get back to riding this year after all my doctors and PT people told me I wouldn't so don't make claims about me. I won't be back to 100% Todd untill next Febuary. I blew my knee out doing what I love and I paid the price and I have earned my place to express my opinon.

I have a few tricks I can pull and a few rails I have hit that whould make most of you wet yourself. You have never seen me ride and I have only seen you post pics of the others you ride with so I have no grounds to judge your skill on the water, but don't think for a minute you ride better than me. I would love to go to Koppert and ride with real riders and people who push the sport and are not judgemental on the amount of trick I or anyonther rider has.

You are not better than me and I am not better than you. I think it is unfair of you to put me down because I blew my ACL and have had no water time so far since January when I last wakeskated.

If you want to talk about this I can always meet you for a drink or something. I am going to be in Seattle for a business meeting on Friday and I can hook up with you and you can show your skills and give me a few pointers for when I get back behind the boat. You should really just lighten up a little it seem s from this and tha old Sammamish Crew post that you are a little bit of a drama queen.

PS how tall are you? You much be short because you seem like a guy with Little Man's syndrome j/k

if you are up here hit me up and we can go surf ...for real. you don't have to tell me about knee problems, i know. review all my posts and see that i never talk about my own riding level, i talk about some of the people who i ride with because they inspire me. i agree that people who talk big aren't likely to back what they talk. i might only be 5'6" but i weigh 260lbs.

Hell yeah I have a $1000 wager with both my wife and my Mom about if I can wait until the DR. approval so I won't surf. Let me buy you a beer and we can bury the hachet over a pint of Fat Tire.
