i was just looking back at some old articles and vides on alliace's website and i saw a video and article about Randy Harris coming back after two years... I cannot remember reading anything about what happened or why he was out for so long.... If somone know the reason drop a line....

Maybe it's private matter and it should be kept that way ? I'm just glad that he's back.

I never really understood it either. Maybe it was for attention or because he needed to get his act together. Now he is riding better than ever.

get his act together? what did he do before that was unacceptable behavior?

nobody said he did anything wrong. just glad he's back

Definitely looking forward to seeing randy ride.

Everyone's got a past, if he wanted his known he would talk about it; show some respect and quit diggin.

Alien Abduction!

2 years of traction from going so big.

Winans,

I think Jordan was just curious... not trying to dig up dirt on Randy. Heck, one of the best wakeboarders in the world just fell off the face of the earth for 2 years - I think J has a right to ask why. There's nothing disrespectful about asking a question.

I think many people would have just assumed Randy took a break... your response infers something else. I think you did more damage for Randy than Jordan.

I was deff not tryin to disrespect i was just wounderin why he was gone... He is deff one of the best guys ever to get on a board and i was just wounderin if it was public why he was out for so long.... I guess its personal so it should stay personal.... sorry if i pissed anyone off

lol, not meant to piss anyone off but I guess I did. Just saying that you would have read in an interview somewhere if he wanted anything about his past known.

I don't think you offended anyone. Randy, like a lot of young riders get a lot of exposure at a very young age. They travel quite a bit and get a ton of recognition from the wakeboarding community. Not speaking about Randy specifically, but I personally have been witness to behavior by the Jr Men that is completely unacceptable. Trashing hotel rooms, punching holes in walls at host hotels and under age consumption of alcohol. I know many parents have seen this type of behavior and limit their kids from participating and traveling without adult supervision.

Randall took a break, focused on his studies and got his act together. More power to him. More young adults need to take Randalls example and learn that there's more to life than just a Pro Wakeboarding career.

How old is Randall?

sometimes you just have to take a break to clear your head, and concentrate on reality to be able to figure out whats whats really important to you.

Thats what I meant by getting his act together. In an interview he talked about how wakeboarding doesn't last forever, so it's best to get and education. I think he even mentioned something about family life.

www.sidewayz.com has a little blog thing going and Randall writes there from time to time. He's not laying-out
his life story, but you can read his words which reflect what he's been up to lately.
