I read it, it's all opinions man, no reason to get so bent over it to the point of making personal attacks on someone. I have a liquid force skate, I've never had a problem, had a cassette once it was crap, liquid force models their skates after cassettes, I still don't want another cassette, she likes cassettes I don't have a problem with that.

RyanBerg, opinions??? Sorry bud - what has come from K-Dub's side of the aisle is fact.

He did not mention Cassette or make reference to their quality. We simply stated that HO was not "craptastic".

Opinions??

So maybe you can inform us on why H.O. skates are so "craptastic", and HL skates are so much better, when it's the same exact thing?? Please?

I actually don't agree with her, but everyone has a right to their opinion. if she thinks it's crap fine, if you don't fine, but there's no need for personal attacks.

RyanBerg, wait, who personally attacked who?

If you are implying that K-Dub went on the attack, then you don't know K-Dub well. When he goes on the offensive, you will know it!

since were on a history lesson. Herb O'brien started o'brien first, then sold it and created H.O.
ITS ALL THE SAME $H!T!!!!!!!!!!!
Support rider owned

But history shows that every rider owned company has sold to a big conglomerate.

Thats the big conspiracy. These "Rider/Owners" tell you to be core like them and don't support big companies. Then they either go belly up because they are crappy business people or they sell out. Unfortunately to make a lot of money in this game, you got to have a lot of money already. I say support companies with innovative rider/designers (LF with Redmond for example)

cassette has not gone belly up
Schmatlz has never sold out(mutiny did not go belly up)

AHHHHH!!!

WTF?! Same stuff different piles! What all the intelgent people have said! So lets say i buy a GMC, it is a lemon. I trade it in for a Chevrolet, and it is not a lemon. therfore GMC's suck and Chevys reign supreme?!

How many HO skates has your friend owned? 1?!
SHOCKING!!
How many HL skates has your "friend" owned? 1?!
SHOCKING!!
Seriously every manufacturer has lemon boards, GET IT THREW YOU HEAD THAT THE SAME DAMN PERSON IS PRESSING THE HL SCAPE SERIES IS THE SAME ONE PRESSING THE HO SKATES. Sheiot, I'd be willing to bet that they are acctualy pressed all at once and then sent of for different graphics. Idea

actually i believe that a bunch of the hl lnadlocks were messed up this year so they only sold ho and jobe surfboards. so hl surfboards suck and jobe and ho aurfboards dont. right? Rolling Eyes

beasoldierprstn · Posted: Aug 18, 2004 12:12 pm Post subject:

and this all started because KC Jazz, a new person to wakeskating asked how everyone liked his new Wakeskate. this is hilarious

Congrats on the purchase and I hope you have fun with your new skate... Looking forward to seeing the paint job...

scott a, I'm pretty sure H.O= high output. do a google search for high output sports and you will find HO's website.

Elevation · Posted: Aug 23, 2004 8:55 pm Post subject:

i have ridden that skate before. its actually not bad. compared to the little homemade skates my cousins and i were riding, that thing was a beauty on the water haha. Laughing

chavez · RIP MHL 04/25/1958 - 01/11/2006

wakeboarder_360, incorrect.

HO = HERB OBRIEN. Whether or not you find it as High Output on the web, it was derived from Herb's initials.

J-Ro · Posted: Aug 24, 2004 8:33 am Post subject:

chavez, There were some HO skis that said "High Output" on them back in the day. That might be where wakeboarder_360 got his info from.

chavez · RIP MHL 04/25/1958 - 01/11/2006

J-Ro, this I know, I just wanted the kiddies to know the Herb O'Brien name - and make sure they associate it with HO Sports and Hyperlite (as one and the same).

geez....this stuff is still going? I really don't think the young generation of wakeboarders/skaters really care about the history of the sport anymore.
oh well, thier loss. Rolling Eyes

Speaking of history, was it Herb, his brother?, or Connelly who was busted for running coke stashed away in skis back in the 80's.

Herb, in the bindings of skis and duffles...served time for it

keep it I've had both the scape and that and theres little to no differce

You guys are all losers for Hijacking his thread and turninit into an argumentive history lesson. Who cares how or why or when his new skate was created, the guy just got a skate and wants to have fun with it. You guys should be congratulating him for joining the "skate scene" right after getting the new boat. some people dont have to have the best of everything to have a good time.

So I say enjoy your skate and If anyone goes back to the original post. Yes I think your $50 skate is worth it. $50 for the hours of use you will get out of it, I think I might pick one up myself.

chavez · RIP MHL 04/25/1958 - 01/11/2006

joedirt00, man...
