What is the problem with having this site be pro-standup?

And pwcforum/today being pro couch?

I mean, I prefer it that way.....does anyone else?

IMO it's great, I know which site to go to when im trying to find out info about either one..... isn't that what it's about.....the sharing of information?

here is part of my reply from the other thread


yes this is a predominatly S/U based forum and some here do have an elitist attitude about themselves. but discriminating someone for what they ride is like discriminating on basis of race,creed,color, or religion. we are one in the same sharing a common passion for the sport. go to a cruise night or any NMCA, NHRA street car shootout you don't see those guys bickering because someone drives a ford or chevy or chrysler.... they are their supporting each other and helping out when someone has a problem not taking it to a full scale flame war on the internet

if you keep it seperated it is like segregation for the blacks and whites its about equal rights and oppurtunities. why should people have to go to a different site to get information it should be one stop shopping

kinda like what pwctoday was before it went in the ********ter..... ti was good everyone got along, everyone had a place to go to if they needed to ask a question.... no some people are even afraid to ask a question or comment on something because they might bashed or flamed for what they say or ride or becasuse the are newbies to the sport and don't know any better

It shoud be pro-sport and not matter. Yes I ride stand-ups and perfer them. Some people cant and dont, it doesnt make them bad people. I think these forums are getting too much you suck, no you suck and missing the bigger picture. WE ALL LOVE TO RIDE. I have nothing against sit-downs hell I got towed in by one last weekend. I do have something against jerks and they can be on either sitdown or standups.

d slicker took the words out of my mouth. we all just want to ride and learn more about our machines to make them run the way we want them to and learn riding techniuqes to help us ride just that much better. this site has definatly helped me in both areas!

There is a difference between being pro-standup and being anti-sitdown, it's called negativity.

I'd rather the attitude be "Hey, I ride a standup and it's awesome, want to try it?" instead of "You ride a couch? You suck."

Pete is taking a break from the site/sport/whatever he needs. I don't know if he'll be back. I hope he is.

i agree with JETT. but i think this site is made more for S/U's, but i don't think its a place for people who are looking to just getting into in jetskiing in general.

personally i think many people have no problems with couches. i don't have any problems with them as long as they are respectful to me when im riding and i feel safe around them, when that space is violated thats when i change my mind.

this site should be for any one who can add some good info to the sport.
