so i got my issue of wbm today. Read the artical on shane. It actually pissed me off. The fact that he hates publicity on new riders, what the f*ck. Honestly, aaron aubrey is an upcoming ripper, publicity helps him grow bigger. He balintly stated that too many people wakeboard and they should only focus on the big boys. I personally love to see publicity on no name riders. Its awsome, shane should tone it down, im pretty sure he was a no name at one point living in the shadow of parks.

Chocolate Sauce,
It may be byerly that i'm thinking about, but its either him or shane one that has a really bad attitude anyways. I wish i could remember.

I think it's stupid of him as well, but still, parks is his cousin, they are friends. He may not want to be like parks.

Thats pretty messed up right there if its true. Why does he even care what the next man is doing? He needs to only worry about himself.

Shane is the freakin man, and WBM defintly needs to put some more attention on Pointless and the boys.

he also states how he thinks the judges for contests suck. Obviously he has more anger than that. I think he uses the f-bomb like 10 times in 2 sentences. When i read it it sounded alot like he was trying to blame the judging for him not placing so high in comps. And about that younger riders thing, that was really messed up. In his words "who the f*ck is Aaron Aubrey, and why the f*ck does he deserve a cover shot". I think its time they start focusing on new riders, they will be the future of wakeboarding.

Oh yeah, nobody likes a whiny ego tripper.

yeah. im sick of shane. its time to start focusing on the actual rippers. The people that dont ride to be sponsered but just for the love of it. Shanes had his time.

scott a, the reason aaron aubrey doesn't ride contests is because he wouldn't even come close to qualifying on the pro tour. he kills it free riding but does not have near the arsenal of tricks that the pros on tour have. he would be a decent outlaw rider in local florida contests but definately not a guarantee to win them

What shane said isn't right, but aaron aubrey to me isn't that good as the guys in Florida, guys on the west coast kill it no doubt, but i agree with some of you when you say he wouldn't even stand a chance on the pro tour, he would get killed out there.

your ability to ride in contests has no correlation to your ability to land shots in magazines. you could be last place on the tour, but if you can make a legit grab look unique, then you might end up getting a cover shot before the next guy (despite the fact that he might know 234532 different mobes).

despite what you florida folk think, contest riding isnt everything.

pilot_ryder · Posted: Jun 26, 2006 4:33 pm Post subject:

he also says something like the riders who derserve shots in mags are the ones who have given things to the sport, ie: injurys, tricks etc.
does he not think that the young riders havent gotten hurt, or tryed to make up moves themself i mean there is so many tricks that its hard to think of new ones, ya shane made the tootsie and dum dum at 13 but there wasnt that many at that point anyways.

He should get some soap in his mouth for that last paragraph, like 10 time int 3 scentences Shocked

hmm - he sounds like an egotistical douchebag. I hope my wbm is in the mailbox when I get home. The article sounds interesting.

Trash talking and territorial rivalries are lame and should be reserved for team sports athletes and rap clicks. Action sports athletes have historically shown quite a bit of respect and sportsmanship towards eachother...for the most part. I believe it's one of the reasons that many board sports have grown as much as they have in recent years. Tony Hawk's great attitude and level of sportsmanship catapulted skateboarding back into the mainstream in the 90s, much like Kelly Slater's did for surfing. Wakeboarding needs a strong personality/role model to step up and be the voice of the movement if our sport is ever going to be regarded as anything more than just a recreational activity. Obviously, Shane isn't the guy to do it.

It sucks to hear that wbm would publish that kind of junk. Embarassed

scott a, you get a cover shot when you have the hook up with the right photographers and they get the right shot. They don't even have to have landed the trick to have gotten a sick cover shot. I could go out and overly accentuate a nuclear glide and tweak it to make it look ultra stylie and original, and i bet that would make for a great cover shot, and no one will ever know if i landed it or not

scott a · Ladies Man Joined: 13 Jan 2003 Posts: 9810

kyle, so what youre saying is that shane doesnt know the right photogs? Laughing

and the people that know the tricks (nuclear glide, etc) will probably be able to tell if the rider would realistically be able to pull the trick out and land it. whether or not a shot is run when the rider has fallen boils down to ethics, and im sure a lot of other factors come into play there.

i haven't gotten my issue yet so i really cant say anything about the article itself but i've always really liked shane so ill try and defend him at least a little bit since everyone is really tearing him a new one. maybe he was just in a terrible mood that day or something i mean it happens right?

and also you can't just call the guy a tool or bash his riding in any way because he HAS done so much for the sport in terms of riding/tricks/style and i mean a lot of people hate his brother parks also but he too has done so much for the sport so while he may have come off like the biggest ass in this article (from what ive heard) you cant badmouth him about his contributions to the sport because thats really unquestionable really. cant wait to read the article for myself though! Confused

kyle · Guest

scott a, no im saying that aaron aubry has a good hook up with photogs as well. its like jeff mckee living with garrett cortese, he is always in alliance, but i guarantee that if he didn't live with him, he wouldn't make the mag as often.

I think there was an interview with Parks recently where he said almost the exact same thing. He was talking about his knee injury and how he wasn't that excited to get back to the competitions because there were too many new guys who he didn't know.

I understand that these Bonifay guys are big names in the sport and probably used to a local riders scene. However, they were small names at one time too. I think Darin Shapiro, Scott Byerly, and even Shawn Murray preceded them. If some new guys show up that aren't a part of their regular crew, who cares? If these guys really are the best, then it won't matter if some noobs show up, right?

Sounds like someones bitter. Not gonna make any judgements till i read the article for myself. All i can say is AA been riding for the love of it for 13 years and doesn't spend his freetime worrying about wakeboard politics. I am sure he will laugh at this. What does SB have to complain about anyway? is his life that bad?

comptechboarder · Criminal Joined: 06 Feb 2003 Posts: 56

The fact that they both ride for the same board company makes that quote even more idiotic.

i can't believe this b/s i gotta hit up my mailbox immediately and see this for myself. this sport doesn't need drama like that. every other one has enough to go around and then some. thats pretty messed up that someone of shane's status would say things like that about another rider. he's gonna lose tons of fans pulling crap like that.

I met shane once. he was cool. I don't read WBM, but I look at the pictures. Do wakeboarders have PR people? I don't think so. Who knows what shane meant. It's too bad they don't have smileys in print interviews. You can't make an assumption on someone's character based on something that was printed in a mass-produced editorial. That's retarded.

Shane's gear is always pushing it, and it still always looks good.....with the exception of the LE shanes......I think they look like puke.

GO SHANE.

thane_dogg, Shane's wakeboard pants didn't go over too well either..... I think also think you can probably make a pretty clear assumption of what he was saying(only judging by what people have posted, I haven't read the article yet) But I am not sure how you could spin this quote into a positive light. "who the f*ck is Aaron Aubrey, and why the f*ck does he deserve a cover shot".

Anyways Shane still rips and is probably better then Aaron Aubrey anyday, but that doesn't give him any right to bash on him.

typeRider · Criminal Joined: 02 Jun 2003 Posts: 99 City: austin

EXACTLY!!! i've always liked shane's style and don't wanna go f-bombing him yet for a quote in a magazine yet but that really stinks if it was meant in the way it seems. oh well i'm sure knowing WBM they'll get a billion angry letters and next month we'll see some kinda update to it.

I don't have the new mag, but based on what is said above...

F*ck Shane. OOOH, he's got good gear. Who Cares? All of that gear would have come out without him! He didn't shape the board, besides who wants a board with pictures from his life on it anyway? Is it so he can remember the events because he's too high when he took the pictures? Colorful

Also, does it seem to anyone else that everytime he has a picture in WBM it's of him doing a freaking nose press...we get it, you can do a nose press Shane. Given the choice between Aubry doing something that looks cool (I don't have the mag yet) and Shane doing another freaking nose press, I'll choose Aubry.

I think Shane's just jealous because Aubry is taller and has better hair....

shane was a no name once, too. he needed publicity to get where he is today. this is like a border jumper speaking against illegal immigration. it shows how stupid shane is. good god.

My friend's sister... her cousin knows a friend of Shane who told me he's getting a pet lion.
