Saw my first Epic!

(kneeboarder8806)

And it looks way better in person than it does in pics. The guy was riding on the san jacinto river near the dam. Seemed like a cool guy

Tell us more about the guy!

(ralph) · (ralph) **Join Date: Apr 2002** 07-06-2008, 7:09 PM

I would prefer to know more about the boat but whatever spins your wheels. Ha ha.

(kneeboarder8806)

its just nice to see one after hearing about them for over a year. just letting you that they are out there and people actually use them. the guy had a wrap on the boat above the rub rail and the rest was black. ill try to get the pics i took on here soon. all i got from the guy is that there is actaully too much ballast and he usually only rides with about half, still about 2k lbs. Sorry i dont have too many deltails. Ill try to get some pics up soon, but i suck at life when it comes to uploading pics here.

(kneeboarder8806)

so here are some pics i found on wakesiderides.

Phew, glad to know it looks better in person. Sleep depravity was kicking my arse.

(kneeboarder8806)

damn next time i wont even post anything. all the poeple here are just a bunch of stuck up people that dont appreciate anything.

J, most of these comments were good natured ribbing. No harm intended. Relax. Have a drink.

(texasmasterc) · (texasmasterc) **Join Date: Sep 2002** 07-07-2008, 9:45 AM

Thank you for seeing the errors in you ways.

(kneeboarder8806)

but it seems pointless to pst anything if everyone here is just going to just blast everything everyone says. that is why i rarely post anything opinionated. also from the threads i read they always end in a pissing match and dont even stay on topic.

(rson) · (rson) **Join Date: Jun 2002** 07-07-2008, 10:07 AM

There wasn't any blasting. You just posted something that has no merits or wasn't a question. What did you expect? Kudo's from all for your first sighting of an Edsel I mean Epic?

Well here you go....a cookie for you :-)

J, no worries man. I have noticed a lot of ••••• attitudes on here with that "I'm better than you" persona about them...especially compared to the other forums I'm on this is definitely the worst with that. I will say though its no where near that way with EVERYBODY on here. there are a lot of very nice and helpful people on here too. but for those that basically get on here to be a d!ck ... just ignore them. everybody else can see they are being that way too and they are only making themselves look stupid. at times I do feel like some people need to go back to that old saying "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!" but oh well...

(kneeboarder8806)

the way i see it is that this forum has 98% worthless information and 2% that is actually useful. i dont know why i still even post on here. i got into it a while back with somebody and ended up being banned for a little while. i basically read this board because there is no other board on wakeboarding that is any better.

(kneeboarder8806)

can a moderator just delete this?

J Whelan, I appoligize if I offended you it was meant as a joke and not to make you feel badly about yourself or me. There is always gonna be some ribbing on this board but for the most part its all in good fun.

Second that. Thus the smiley face after my cookie.

Alot of people down my way in Fl are really looking forward to seeing the Epics! J Whelan, most of the guys on here that have to slam others really can't afford somthing like this anyway. They get to be somebody online whereas I guarantee that they wouldn't be that way in person.

Hey J, thanks for the props man - a buddy of mine told me about this thread, lol - what a waste of your time. But still thanks.

(txnx) · (txnx) **Join Date: Mar 2006** 07-10-2008, 4:14 PM

oh and what I was saying about the ballast was, that half is enough for us. I have had outlaw riders behind the rig and even they say at half its better than any boat they have been behind, even the over-hyped Bu's.

Gimme a shout next time and I will gladly take you guys for a pull!

I was driving by a Burger King today and saw a guy eating one of those Steakhouse burgers. Seemed like a cool guy...

(txnx) · (txnx) **Join Date: Mar 2006** 07-10-2008, 9:01 PM
