[Dirtybird]

Holy hell!! Pete and Malone were throwing some HUGE air! There were a few others that were as well, just dont know them well enough. Wow. That's all I can say. Wish I had surf every time a video comes up! Good work x 1,000,000!!!

:Banane09:damn, you are quick... just sent ya an email... he he he...

[Conquistador]

I'm speechless! I don't know what to say...
That was Fn Awesome! It's a testament to the sport, it's a testament to the town of Ormond Beach & it's proof that Nick & his peeps down there know how to do it right!

That's inspiration if I've ever seen it!:notworthy:

[DAG]

oh yeah, I'm psyched. What a great video, and finally some great music for a freeride video. I will see you all there. Now i just need to get some more brap or buy a new ski for daytona. I didn't see many sn out there. I have a feeling my slightly modded 650 sn will be quite asthmatic around such nice brapalicious skis.

[yamaslut]

Welcome to surfriding...BR,BF,Stab, Re-Entry

What about surf riding? I watched Loyd Burlew do his signature handstand in choppy Daytona Surf (back in the day) before roles, and Backys... Its whatever you want to do as a rider.... this sport has in no way seen its limits... I would like to see some new tricks as well... but with massive air, and dirtbike style... FLATWATER is a waste IMHO!.:AR15firing:

its like this...i began making clips and videos for pwc because people like what i did...nowadays there is a growing group of naysayers and poo-pooers who are not happy no matter what...

i do not have time for ******** like that...i have a ton of other stuff i could be doing and if people do not dig what i have going on oh well...

mark 44 seems to think surf riding is repetitive...fine...no more freeride vids...the context was obviously lost on him...

the best thing i can say at this point is go grab your cameras...shoot what you love...dedicate yourself to it...post them up...fend off the arrows of the nay-sayers...

dj korn does it...wave junkies do it...and both do it well...its time for me to move over...let these guys do their thing...

[FL-cracker]

Chris you do a excellent job with your films, I would hate to see you leave are sport! I dont know of anyone else that is spitting out current jetski Vids. You are a huge role in are sport right now.

[swanny]

I love your vids!

I removed my pictures several months ago b/c of exactly this....I'm tired of dealing with people who have no sense of loyalty, no sense of friendship....Chris and I did this because we loved it....not to make money (cause God knows we spent way more than we made in making The Addiction). No one on this site is perfect, but Heaven help you if you do anything that can make everyone jump on the bandwagon to burn the witches....We will cherish the memories that we have from the past couple of years of getting to know most of you....but the select few who screwed it up, well that's just another story....I'm still reeling from the fact that some of the people who were supposed to be our closest friends are who contributed to us making the decision to retire from all things jetski...guess we didn't know them as well as we thought...

Best of luck to most of you....we hope the sport continues to grow...and hope to continue friendships with alot of you guys...Nascency will still be around...

"Et tu, Brute?"


Ps---We love you too Sclevela!!! You are a true friend!!!!

I totally agree. You need much more hood riding in your videos. Maybe even some video of freestyle couch riding.

freeride videos ARE repetitive, IMO. theres only so many things that can be done with videoing skis going big. its whether or not, the dvd viewer, likes the repetetivness of big air moves, and how the final production comes out, that matters. personally, i think your vids kick ass! for those who dont like them, theres always reality television, american idol and the crocodile hunter.

i vote that you should stick around, but i understand why you wouldnt want to.

I hate to see you guys have to make that decision. But I can understand the frustration of putting your heart & soul into something just to have people sh!t on you. You guys are still tops in my eyes & I have all the respect in the world for the creative work you do.

Luv you guys....

Idiots.

:dunno:

Take your BS else where.......I'm not trying to get into some internet piss fight cause you think one is better then the other.

That was nearly 80% of surf riding right there. Surf riding IS repetitive...I love watching it regardless anyway. But its the truth. It's far better to ride then watch surf


What about surf riding? I watched Loyd Burlew do his signature handstand in choppy Daytona Surf (back in the day) before roles, and Backys...

It is truly a hard pill to swallow when your "closest" friends stab you in the back for any reason.....money, fame or whatever:disappointed::disappointed:

But what hurts me most is being judged without having all the information..... by "supposed" friends.....:ouch:

So sorry to hear that the sport won't have the talents of both you and Chris.... But noone understands better than me why!

Just remember.... What goes around comes around!

Take Care and Hope to see you both soon!

I just want to say that I appreciate all that you have done to help promote this sport. We need more people like you involved. I'm very sorry that things came to this for you.... I hope whatever is going on gets fixed and we have you back...

:sad2:

[GDFL]

I'm sorry that this is how it all worked out for you. I do appreciate your (both of you) contributions that you made. We all now have an awesome documentary of what the freeride scene is/was (The Addiction) and it certainly wouldn't have happened like that without you two. Will we still see you at any events? I hope so. I guess on the bright side, you won't have your faces buried in cameras so you can hang out more and not be working. :Banane35:

[MILF]

what is that supposed to mean?????

are you throwing barbs? not? ehh, this is some of the stuff that gets old...say what you mean...you got a problem, speak up...i know i do...

What?????:pat: Jeez.... I didn't see this coming...... I'm sorry if you took it the wrong way:sadwavey:

I am throwing nothing and certainly not your way...... In my life - if I have a problem with a friend I talk to that person "in person"..... I have no idea what happened to make you feel the way you do about the sport and your reasons for getting out! I try to always give credit where credit is due.... In my opinion a true lose for the sport without having Nascency involved!

I have my own reasons and am only speaking about MY PERSONAL experience..... That's all!:ugh::boggled::confused:

[yamaslut]

...I also want to reinforce the point....

The Daytona Freeride and frankly none of the rides would be what they are w/o your documentation and skills behind the lenses... Your contribution will always be remembered and appreciated. Most importantly because of you guys, these memories will stay w/ us forever and for that I can never thank you enough...

Please reconsider :dunno:

[Nascency Chris]

[PancakePete]

Chris and Rhonda,
You guys strait up Rock ! Thats it.. I am sorry that you are taking a break... BUt it sucks when people beat you and friends..
I understand what you mean...

Milf,
If your going to make smart ass posts all the time about "friends"

Friends dont beat you and your friends and then act like they are a gift from god.. and the best thing since sliced bread... What do you have a friend dyno ?

as far as what chris is talking about.. Has nothing to do with me... and Every other sponsor I have knows that I care about what they have done for me... they all get phone calls....

If your going to keep making comments about bad friends or whatnot.. I can sit here all day and night and expose more crap ! :skull2:

I have laid off the negative.

[Ra-Honda]

God Chris, I just woke up too, no coffee yet, and I even understood what Milf was talking about!!!

Calm down a little--no need to get all defensive with everyone right now!!:poke:

Sorry everyone--he's a little touchy right now!!:boggled:

[SuperJETT]

Chris and Rhonda, you guys are awesome in my book and will succeed at whatever you do due to your talent/creativity.

Take care!

[sjetrider]

Since the trailer of the Addiction I have been A HUGE fan of both of you. I kinda half expected to meet you at the premier briefly and think (they are cool but not really down to earth). I WAS DEAD WRONG, you guys had us back at your place chilling out and partying at the after party and I and everyone else felt like we were at a life long friends house kicking it. You are both unbelievable people to know and an incredible asset to this and other sports. No person in thier right mind would want to see you leave this sport!!!!!!! I hope time heals all and we see more from you SOON!

[Odd Duck]

I find it very sad that people who are doing such good things for the sport get chased off by the haters. I've seen it multiple times, people stepping back because of negative statements posted here or elsewhere. Some people just don't stop to think before they post, have to put in their 2 cents even though it does nothing to promote the sport.

To Chris and Ra-Honda, please reconsider. By FAR the majority of people out here think you're doing great work and really appreciate what you have done for the sport. Maybe we need to be more vocal about it like the haters are. It always seems to be easier to remember the negative comments, but I've never seen you post a vid or pic that didn't get rave reviews. There's always going to be some thoughtless comments, too, but just ignore the ignorants. It's what they've earned. Don't let the negative people keep you from doing what you love and what we love to see!

Just my 2 cents,
Sharon

Surf riding is repeditive. That's it's problem. The only thing in the video that wasn't a BF or a BR was a tailstand or 2 by Saki.

That doesn't change the fact that I watched the video 4 times, each time a different week, because I wanted to see it again. Everytime I watched it I enjoyed it and still got chills from some of the biggest tricks.

I don't mean to say this as an insult. I say this as constructive criticism. To quit because a few people gave you a hard time shows a lack of character. For every one person who says something bad, there's at least 50 that thought something good. Yet you still give up because of that one person. If I quit everytime I met someone that gave me a hard time in what I was doing, I'd have quit everything, and be doing everything alone.

No matter where you go, or what you do, if it involves other people, you WILL encounter someone who is a problem. The only solution is to shut them all out and just be by yourselves. That to me, isn't a very good solution.

Stand strong and walk through the few insults. For every one person standing in your way, there's a 1000 behind them waiting for you to get past that person so they can praise you for your work.

Hope you change your mind. I was wanting to watch that video again.

Chris, you can't quit making movies! You are now the undisputed King of Jetski Movies!! You have 1000's of fans. A couple negative comments are just a couple negative comments!!! You guys rock! :djsmilie:

:Banane57: :headbang: :kiss: :biggrin: Don't leave it up to me!!! I am just a hack with a $30 Ebay Camera. U have all the talent!


ps....I watched that Daytona Video about 20 times!!! and the Addiction over 100 times!!!

[Frosty]

tailstand? dam! no!!!! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

I love that trick!!!!

[Mark44]

I love that trick!!!!

I like that trick also he throws something else into the action other than the same old.

Mark44

[Frosty]

i thank you guys for the compliments!!!

its really not as easy as it looks.... being the best and all... takes alot of work.. luckily i think i've adjusted well to being the greatest skier ever.

....oh, and...... that picture NEVER would have been possible, if it weren't for Chris/Rahonda!!!!!

i'd like to personally thank them for always knowing that i am the best, hence taking alot of pics/vids of me all the time. :smile:

it really saves me from spending more time dressing up and taking mean pics of myself in front of my hallway mirror (although you have to admit, that beard is gorgeous)


LMFAO!!

i watched the addiction again the other night. During the segment you pull that trick i always rewind and watch it again... i'm like, Dayum!! very cool.

That is cool trick.. I can do the grab the nose part.

Agreed.

I just get my kicks out of watching more flatwater, but I still watched the movie several times. Just like people on here enjoy riding a superjet opposed to a sxr. Different strokes for different folks. Everyone will have their opinion and you can not please everyone. Brush it off and move on.

Katie

[PancakePete]

more I think on this thread of How many times that chris has gotten like the most fun shots... Like when me and many others riding from J. havel to slutty to others, all ripping.. and reminds me why we do what we do !:bananapowerslide:

[Mark44]

Maybe I can post some of Katie's flat water BR practice movies from Tuesday night, looking good!

[DaUpJetSkier]

Obviously there were other reasons for Chris to make his comments and quit other than the comment made by someone talking about do another backflip off a big wave? Am I right? Otherwise if it was only because of what was said on this thread then thats just crazy. Id like to know what someone of people have done to make him say this and act as if people hate what he does, otherwise maybe he just wants to spend all his time filming stunt bikes which seems to be taking off a bit more than freeride. Too bad anyways, hes got some talent to make the pwc industry seem pretty crazy.

[tor*p*do]

Does this mean no "In The Blood" sequel to the Addiction????:sad:


:ouch: that would suck! BigTime!!!!!!



What can we do to turn this thing around for you, Chris?



Do we need to take someone out and . . . . :AR15firing:

I can only guess, but Sometimes the level of bitchiness, childishness around here can drive you mad, so to cure that, you just leave..............

some people will not grow up.........

[Conquistador]

its like this...i began making clips and videos for pwc because people like what i did...nowadays there is a growing group of naysayers and poo-pooers who are not happy no matter what...

i do not have time for ******** like that...i have a ton of other stuff i could be doing and if people do not dig what i have going on oh well...

mark 44 seems to think surf riding is repetitive...fine...no more freeride vids...the context was obviously lost on him...

the best thing i can say at this point is go grab your cameras...shoot what you love...dedicate yourself to it...post them up...fend off the arrows of the nay-sayers...

dj korn does it...wave junkies do it...and both do it well...its time for me to move over...let these guys do their thing...

Dude, I've never met you in person, but I am a HUGE FAN of your work. I have posted several bullitens on myspace pumping up your vids too. (I was the one who wanted to upload this particular vid myself if you couldnt, you did, & it's awesome!)

I can't speak for all the junkies, but I know that we are riders & not filmmakers. We do put together vids, but they are not on the level of nascency cinema. I'm sure you are welcome to come hang out with us here in VB whenever you want! You can even leave the camera at home if you want too, just come hang & have some fun.

You rock & I hope that you will be back sharing something that we all love soon!:woot: I'm definitely ready for some "in the blood" action:bigok:

ok...let me see if i can clarify...yes it was more than one comment that got me all fired up...if i have gotten bad video reviews, people calling my videos crap to my face, etc...i am used to stuff like that...i was already in a foul mood and unfortunately mark44 took the brunt of it right then...

i need to take a step back...for many different reasons. the filming for ITB was not going the way i wanted it...same locations, shots, faces, etc just seemed stale to me..the addiction all over again...c'mon, that would be boring...i want to do a whole lot more than just a sequel.

and the scene has changed...tremendously. there are alot more people, alot good, some not so good. but you know what they say, "a few bad apples..."

i am trying to sort out who the bad apples are in my life right now...

there is a very palpable feeling of negativity floating around. more people are coming to the freerides...but i have noticed at the ones i was at this year that more cliques are kind of keeping to themselves...hence the worm walk at allatoona, to try and get everyone to come together and mingle, meet, and grow...

i feel like some people are losing sight of what got them started down this road we have all gone down...

thank you everyone for the kind words, and the encouragement...it really means alot to me...

and yes, i film streetbikes...but also freestyle motocross...ama, bmx, all kinds of stuff...i have always been spastic when it comes to shooting...keeps me from getting bored...but it is not the reason i would walk away from one genre or another...

[DaUpJetSkier]

Hey man, I still have yet to see addiction just been puttin of buying it but I def know what your saying as far as making another film in the sport right now. Maybe overseas is different but ya got fullgaz over there and its not like you can just fly to europe any weekend to shoot. I also know what your saying when it comes to freerides, ive only been to wave rave twice, this year was a lot more fun than my first year but I def noticed cliques, but hey if ya know a group of who comes down together i would probably stick with my buds too. Maybe in a few years there will be some new stuff to shoot, bigger more tech stuff, big wave riding would be killer like what randy laine has done, to film that up close would be sweet. Anyways, ive seen all your trailers, they rock, very unique style and not just clipped together like alot of other extreme sports videos ive seen.

[sclevela]

[Boris]

This is BS.

Just ask my wife how many times she has been forced to sit through The Addiction or the latest trailer. Hostages in hi-jack situations have it easier.

You could talk to my friends and co-workers, they too will tell you tales of being kidnapped.

My all stock square nose has only 2 stickers on it (other than the registration and stock graphics), one is an "x-h2o" sticker and the other is,.............. yep a "NascencyProject.com" sticker.

I love your videos and one day hope to be decent enough to make it into one of them. Until then I will just keep watching them till the DVD wares out.



What these haters don't realise is that you are capturing these images for all time. In years to come we will treasure these videos as we remember our younger years and torture our grandkids with them.

DON'T STOP DOING WHAT YOU DO FOR US
Weather we know it or not you are doing us a great service for which I personally thank you.

[Vumad]

i am trying to sort out who the bad apples are in my life right now...

To make it easier for you, I will let you know that I am not a fruit, so don't worry, I'm not one of your bad apples.

[Dirtybird]

I STILL want nasceny sticker!!! I STILL want videos. I STILL want everyone to ride. For all the worthless reviews, tell them to EAD....Eat A D(*& ... Think about it this way. Who here likes the movie, Ace Ventura? Lets get all the positive and negatives from it.........Opinions are like a$$holes right? Who cares about the JEALOUS people. Keep filming awesome clips!

Dude, Everyone on here needs to rent the move "Surf's Up" about penguins surfing...it's a little kids movie, but the message is EXACTLY what we need.

"Theres a great break on the north shore, lets hit it"!

[Jawbreaker]

can we see one more back flip off a large wave please.

Mark44
Uhh.......:hitwithrock::nutkick:

Lets see your work and compare it to Chris's.
Dude.....It's a ******ing jet ski video. WTF do you expect to see in a JET SKI VIDEO?

After seeing "The Way Things Were" I didn't think Chris was going to be around much longer.......not because of your smart ass posting BS, but because he would be getting offers for paying jobs after people saw his work he had been doing the past few years.

Thanks Mark44... Now every time people see you post on the X it can be a reminder that Mark44 was the straw that broke the camel's back and ******ed it up for everyone else. Way to go bro.:fing02:

What cracks me up about this forum is how people take things SO seriously. If you can't take critisim then you aren't going to make it through life. Either take the ciritism and try to improve or tell everyone to screw off. Taking it personally is just going to make you self distruct.

You say WTF do you want to see in a Jet Ski Video, I think what Mark44 is saying is more flatwater-expand to show different people.

You know you can bash me all day long for saying this but I agree. AGAIN not saying that the addiction sucked at all. I liked it. But that is what makes people grow, more suggestions. Why do stores have a suggestion box-to maybe bring other aspects to the business that they wouldn't think about. Doesn't mean that they have to conform to all the suggestions, some they will and some they won't.

too true. the other side of it is that its already a complete "movie" that took a lot of time and effort into putting together for little or no money. its all in how the opinions are expressed. maybe saying something like, "hey chris, in your next movie id really dig some more of the flatwater stuff" would fly better than, "can we see another backflip off a huge wave?".

did i just type that?

I hear ya.....but no one set out a suggestion box here...besides, it didn't sound like constructive criticism, It's sounds more like someone trying to stir the pot to get a reaction out of peeps by being a smart ass.


too true. the other side of it is that its already a complete "movie" that took a lot of time and effort into putting together for little or no money. its all in how the opinions are expressed. maybe saying something like, "hey chris, in your next movie id really dig some more of the flatwater stuff" would fly better than, "can we see another backflip off a huge wave?".

did i just type that?

Exactly......if he was looking to criticize constructively he could have put it a different way... Didn't look as if that was his motive.

ok...let me see if i can clarify...yes it was more than one comment that got me all fired up...if i have gotten bad video reviews, people calling my videos crap to my face, etc...i am used to stuff like that...i was already in a foul mood and unfortunately mark44 took the brunt of it right then...

i need to take a step back...for many different reasons. the filming for ITB was not going the way i wanted it...same locations, shots, faces, etc just seemed stale to me..the addiction all over again...c'mon, that would be boring...i want to do a whole lot more than just a sequel.

and the scene has changed...tremendously. there are alot more people, alot good, some not so good. but you know what they say, "a few bad apples..."

i am trying to sort out who the bad apples are in my life right now...

there is a very palpable feeling of negativity floating around. more people are coming to the freerides...but i have noticed at the ones i was at this year that more cliques are kind of keeping to themselves...hence the worm walk at allatoona, to try and get everyone to come together and mingle, meet, and grow...

i feel like some people are losing sight of what got them started down this road we have all gone down...

thank you everyone for the kind words, and the encouragement...it really means alot to me...

and yes, i film streetbikes...but also freestyle motocross...ama, bmx, all kinds of stuff...i have always been spastic when it comes to shooting...keeps me from getting bored...but it is not the reason i would walk away from one genre or another...

Once again, let me reiterate--THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT COMMENTS PEOPLE MADE ABOUT OUR VIDEO'S...

We have always gone into any project we work on knowing that some people will love it, some won't...not a problem for us. We did all this because we love it--and the people associated with the sport. As long as at the end of the day we could step back and be proud of it, and know that we didn't take advantage of any of you guys in the process, well that's all we cared about.
I feel like we accomplished just that!!! We have no regrets.

Part of it is exacly what Chris said above...wanting to step back and make sure In the Blood isn't just The Addiction---a year later...we would like to take a fresh new approach---but we gotta figure out what that is first....:dunno:

The second part is that our whole illusion of friendships within this sport was shaken up pretty badly this week. I expect that if Chris and I go to bat for you (alot) and make sure that you are well represented in our work, that we are loyal to you, make ourselves available to you anytime as friends, etc.---I expect that we should at least get the same respect in return...no??? Apparently not--apparently it was very easy for a certain person to forget all that and not be man enough to go to bat for us....

This was very hurtful--as this was a longtime "friend". The whole situation was very disheartening. It is time as Chris said--for us to weed out the bad apples and figure out where we go from here.

Thank you again to all of you who are standing behind us--it does mean alot to us!

Someone gave me the 30sec cliff notes on this thread last night. I just wanted to hop in and say The Addiction was a killer vid (bought 10 copies) and I don't care so much what kind of riding coverage it did or did not have in it, the all-around "feeling" was super cool and very original. "The Way Things Were" was just f'n pimp and yalls skills absolutely floor me. Keep up the good work when you can!

[sjetrider]

What cracks me up about this forum is how people take things SO seriously. If you can't take critisim then you aren't going to make it through life. Either take the ciritism and try to improve or tell everyone to screw off. Taking it personally is just going to make you self distruct.

You say WTF do you want to see in a Jet Ski Video, I think what Mark44 is saying is more flatwater-expand to show different people.

You know you can bash me all day long for saying this but I agree. AGAIN not saying that the addiction sucked at all. I liked it. But that is what makes people grow, more suggestions. Why do stores have a suggestion box-to maybe bring other aspects to the business that they wouldn't think about. Doesn't mean that they have to conform to all the suggestions, some they will and some they won't.

Maybe its how the suggestions are presented?????????????????????? Some one of Chris and rhonda's skill level I am sure know how to deal with suggestions and critics. But sarcasim from a LAMEN in thier field is not something they even have to address.

How about a (hey Chris, how about a killer flatwater vid sometime?). That is a suggestion. His post was simply :poke:

no to single you out Rhonda - but either tell the whole story with all the sordid details - or keep it to yourself and don't post anything about it.

to only post part of the story and say "it doesn't do anyone any good to name names" - does more harm than anything. It gets people to wondering what is going on, and soon enough it spirals downhill and people end up at each other's throats for no damm reason.

it's not just you - it been happening quite a bit around here lately - and I'm sick of what happens as a result.

The last thing I expect is this place to be an internet utopia - but do some of ya'll ALWAYS have to be in the middle of every little bit of drama?

not for nothing but who are you to tell them how to handle their business and personal relationships? (and i know it doesnt sound like it but im actually not tryin to ask that in an a55hole way)

they stated everything they were comfortable with stating........ but were pushed to state more....... and now that they have u are telling them to keep it to themselves if they cant tell u every detail?

lets get something straight..... they (or anyone for that matter) has a right to keep anything the wish to themselves....... they chose to reveal a few things and thats what they want revealed..... if they dont say another word on the topic ist their right......... if they choose to come back and reveal more or all of whats concerned them that is their right also....... but to tell them or anyone "but either tell the whole story with all the sordid details - or keep it to yourself and don't post anything about it." is a bit ridiculous

[michael950]

In response to your question, it's childish.

"I've got a secret and I'm not going to tell".

Why tell someone you have a secret if you are not going to tell?
Are you barging about the fact you have a secret?
Do you feel special?


In response to Penguin, you have to look at all the BS on this site.

If you're not going to name names, then just say we are done and end the discussion. Giving piecemeal info just stirs the pot and entices the antagonists on the boards.


I hate getting in the middle of this garbage. I don't watch soaps for a reason. I have not read this entire thread.

I'm sad to hear that essentially Nacenscy Cinema is out of PWC productions, but that's their decision.

I don't care if Chris and Rhonda tell the tale or not. (and it's not just Chris and Rhonda - it's happening way too much IMO)

but only telling bits and pieces is what gets the vultures circling.

and then Mark fires up the Jiffy Pop

and then numerous people get involved.

and everyone on this board has to wade through a mountain of sh!t - and in the end what is accomplished.

nothing - except now 3 people want to duke it out at the next freeride. (not in this case, but as an example)

it creates barriers - and that's not what this place should be about.

thats the beauty of a forum thread though........... even one 10000 pages long only takes up one line in the list of threads....... u only have to wade through a mountain of crap if u choose to........ if u dont choose to dont click the link

No offense to anyone....
But its like saying "world peace"

People Screw other people, and others wanted to talk about it.

Ya, I would love to see the right person exposed....

But, thats not the way its Macin' right now.... :eek5:


Sucks people have to screw others...

I believe, you give people many chances to do right...
then if they do not or blow you off.... F_um...
expose'm so they dont beat everyone..... :sad:

Hey, all we did was respond to people asking why the link to "The Way Things Were" was no longer working. We tried to be as politically correct about it as we could--then a few individuals decided we were "being childish and quitting because someone talked bad about our video". I reacted and explained why that was not the truth of the matter.

Now, that said---wouldn't me posting names and sordid details only add more to the drama and give you more crap to wade through??????:ponder:

i dont get it.
the video is a great documentation, whats all this whining over?
i saw a few more things that a backflip, and screw WHAT trick is being pulled. watch the subtle style from each rider. to me everyone looks different out there and that is whats entertaining to me. the vid had great music and how it was put together was perfection.

i watch this video almost everyday.

Chris and Rhonda are great people and their work is awesome. He's given me some helpful advice in the past and losing them from the sport would be horrible. I LOVE the addiction and I dont think anyone could have captured the freerides feelings and purpose better than they did.

I just read the last 12 pages.................. I'm never going to get that time back am I?


I think anyone/everyone should have pretty thick skin, especially since we are dealing with a internet message board.

I liked the video ........ I also laughed at mark44's smart ass comments.

............ I am sure there is something else going on but, why bring it up on a message board unless you can elaborate!

The casual reader HAS NO F####NG IDEA WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT!


Thats all I got.
