Posted: Apr 20, 2003 8:33 pm Post subject: Old Shapiro Interview |
|
|
Haha, I just watched an old video I have, High Wake Drifters (it was my first wakeboarding vid, I think I got it in 94). There is a short interview with Shapiro after the credits. The guy asking the questions asks
"Do you think there will ever be a time when you aren't strapped into the wakeboard?"
Shapiro answers "Hell no. You'd see a lot of injuries then. The board could come up and smack you in the balls...that wouldn't be good."
Funny to see that now that wakeskating is so common. The thing I think is funny is I'm pretty sure Byerly was wakeskating at the time. Anyone remember an instructional in one of the first WBMs with Byerly doing a shuvit on an old Wake Tech board?
Anyway, just some funny old stuff I thought I'd bring up. Also, I can't remember seeing Shapiro on a wakeskate, maybe he still wants to protect the jewels |

Yeah, I saw that too. In regards to the byerly shoveit, it was in the june 1995 issue (I believe) and it wasn't a trick tip, they were just showing off what could be done.
Also, in one of the wbm's from 1995, there was some hispanic guy that was doing some "bindingless riding" and then the caption for the photo said something like "will this ever catch on? Doubtful" or something like that. The point was they didn't see any future in wakeskating what so ever. WBM is lame, alliance is dope. _________________ J.L.A. Is Snowboarding

The stuff from McCaffray, Collin, and most of the stuff from T Smith is good. The crap from Chris and Chase is just that - CRAP. |

wakeboarding magazine couldn't give a poo poo about wakeskating and I refuse to hold my tounge over a shite magazine. Trust me, there are ways they could help promote the sport but decide not to.....
and If I remember correctly, thomas had sent them a 4trac to test out and they didn't know what the hell to do with it. I believe thomas' quote from wbm was, "uhh, got any gum?" THat still cracks me up because I think that was from a snl skit with norm macdonald doing a david letterman impression. Either way, that speaks volumes, in my opinion. ANd remember, the H is O. _________________ J.L.A. Is Snowboarding

I would like to say that I agree with scbrips. SOme of their articles are complete fodder, but I definitely prefer alliance to wbm. They definitely seem to be in touch with what is going on, rather than being one step behind and using some of the same photos as other magazines.
In regards to the norm macdonald quote, thomas had used it on here when he had to explain the four trac concept. I thought it was funny too.

Man, I love the stuff from the Heaveners in the back of Alliance. Those quotes and all that random goodness. My favorite what when they reviewed that "Steve's Supertape '89" (might've been a different year) that they found in some thrift store. Great analysis of Steve based solely on the songs that were on the tape. |

there was an ad in the last alliance magazine i think it was(it had a wakeskater skating in the sunset i believe) and in the back there was a guy doing a one foot nose slide.....and it looked really fake cause the water around the slider wasn't moving at all. whats up with that? it looks so dumb |

that ad was a spoof. It was parks doing the one-foot slide, they were taking the piss out of the regal ad, by posing a shot. So they turned it into a spoof ad for some super pill, or something. _________________ ODPC |

i got a question. what's the problem with a magazine having ads? personally i think it's the best thing about the mags. i'm not talking about gay ads like tige's. more like the recent body glove ads. |

Derrick - Nothing is wrong with ads, but do you want to read a mag that is filled with them? I buy magazines for the pics and editorials, not to be bombarded with "Buy our cool new crap" every other page. Sure, magazines, like TV, wouldn't exist without advertisements but there are definitely some ads that WBM could do without. I think somebody already commented on it in another thread but that hydroslide ad with kneeboarding, skiing, and tubing sucks big time. Do you really need the ad money so badly that you'll put those sports in a wakeboarding magazine? The amount of ads is one reason why WBM seems so much thicker than Alliance.
WBM isn't the horrible publication that some people make it out to be but there's definitely room for improvement. Alliance has more color to it and has the "cool" factor going on but they need to kick out those who have no literary skills. |

huh????
Allience kicks a$$. There was a photo in wbm a couple of months ago, the photo was from the liquid force trip to new zealand from like 2000!! WTF is that, sorry but I don't want to see old ass stuff in a new magazine, I can look at the mags from that year to see those photos. It was a sweet photo just 3 years old.
It just seems that alliance cares more about the sport than the money, Thats why Bill mcaffrey left wbm awhile back. _________________ http://www.integrity-wake.com
