So I was wondering around the boat show today in Sacramento with a friend and we walked past this guy looking bored as hell (can't blame him, the show sucked this year) sitting all alone. I was just thinking to myself that the guy looked a lot like the Vandal, when I noticed the tats on his arms. Turns out it actually was him. I was really excited because Randy has been one of my favorite riders for many years. I went over and talked with him for a while and he was really cool. I was a little too star-struck to say much, but it was nice to let him know how much I like his riding and the influence he's had on me. It definitely made my week. Thanks Randy!

I don't think he likes to be called Randy...When I met him he was one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. I too met him when he was sitting alone at the PWT tour in FW Texas last year. I walked up and talked to him like he was just another guy. He didn't have any kind of arrogance or cockiness about him. Super down to earth and way nice.
|
I had the same experience when I met him at the Acworth PWT stop. He is stoked about the sport and excited to meet and talk with anybody who shares that same stoke.
|
Same when I FIANLLY got to meet him a few years back, I was nervous as hell... cool thing about it now when I see him (like once a year) HE comes up to ME & chats.... Ricky G is the same way.. super nice guy...
|
Yea he pretty down to earth, I met him at the Tige' pro am in P-town last year. Hung out with him for awhile at the club Sat. night. When I saw him Sun. he came over to me and talked for a bit then gave my wife and I a hug. Wow he's cool. And Ricky G. is just straight up gangster, man I met him about 6 years ago and everytime I see him he comes up and says hi. WSR rocks! West coast is where its at!
|
If I had a wake brand, etc... Randy Harris & Ricky G would be at the top of my list to sponsor because of their demeanor and of course riding.
|
super nice guy. We spoke with him for a while too. <BR> <BR>On another note...I actually thought the boat show in Sac rocked. I was working the Norcal Mastercraft booth and it was poppin. We had a staff of about 10-12 people and we were all slammed for hours. It was rad. <BR> <BR>Nice to hang out with everyone again.
|
I thought last year's show was a lot better. Although it was really cool to talk with the CIE guys about the upcoming Spring Ride. I'm definitely looking forward to going this year!
|
I've known RANDY since he was a 15 year old kid from Huntington Beach, and his family took up waterskiing as a family sport... Randy took off wakeboarding from there. He is an amazing rider and has a great story to tell. (I call him Randy, because I am a lot older and he is still like a kid to me) I am impressed with all his achievements and conquests. Aloha from HB.

I'm confused. Is "straight up gangster" a good thing???? <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>"Bad" is good, "sick" is apparently a good thing, "hella" can go either way from what I gather, and now this. <BR> <BR>I was just getting used to "off the chain"!
|
you are so in the 80s, swass.
|
Not even the late 80s.
|
When did smooth water turn from "glass" to "flat" or is that just an Aussie thing?!
|
I thought glass was for waterskiers and butter was for wakeboarders??
|
I've always thought butter was stupid, but I guess I am just old school. Lately though I keep hearing "flat".
