you are a total waste of space barn, I feel sorry for your parents, especially your dad.

lol.. I'll take that as a comment..



Mind if you pm me your real name, I find it weird having a pseudonym antagonist..

I never said robby was a dud, I just mentioned his forward loop style, and poked fun at Robby Mania.. Far out I think a few people need to chill out and stop taking everything so seriously..

Wow, what a classic! Thanks for the post.

Yeah nice....Diamond Head and NO HARNESS !!!!!!!!!!

Its definately an awesome video. Kind of interesting watching Robbys style of waveriding compared to modern quad fin waveriding from someone like Levi Siver. The style has really changed to be more like surfing, which I guess was always the goal. check this video out to see what I meen.

Just started watching RIP. Around 4:50 into it, those FWDs look pretty sweet and text book/current... on slalom gear!!

I think Barn's resporator has failed and he has sucked in too much resin fumes making those **** boards. If your rating Robby Naish on his pole vault forwards, than F@#k thats lame. Having done both pole vault and horizontal forwards, I can say I feel safer doing the latter. BTW Barny, if you think your comments are 'tongue in cheek' - why do you bang on so much?

Thanks for the concern, I use an organic and particle risporaptor in a well ventilated area.. Sorry for making such **** boards.

I'm not rating Robby on his polevaults. I'm rating Robbies polevaults.. It's just polevaults aren't so fashionable anymore.. He has a unique style, probably ingrained from pioneering forwards on ancient gear..

I don't know why I pointed out his loops. Probably because of all the Robby love.. Did it raise awareness that the style has changed? It certainly annoyed a few folk.. And I've learned you prefer polevaults, and think they're safer. We learned I can also do 'em, as nobbie pointed out earlier.. Fairly productive thread..

My comments aren't toungue in cheek, his forwards are actually unique, I'm not joking when I say this.. I bang on because I like digging holes that I can't escape from..

This, does not mean I think I am better than Robbie, which is what a few people deduced.

Diving judges don't think they are better than the divers.. Are there any divers that can never be scored below 10 on a move? Because apparently Robbie can't..


Red thumbs if you agree!!

To make it up to the people that I've upset, I've edited a video of robbies best R.I.P loops, and some newer ones from the net.

I think it's all about context, Barn.

I believe it's about respecting someone's achievements in the timeframe of that persons' existence.

Cheers

Point taken. I did gather that eventually.

Charles Darwin was incredibly wrong on many points, he was also Racist. This doesn't deter he is still the greatest scientist in human history.

I don't actually know any of Robbies achievements, I've only ever seen RIP, that time he yelled at a Chopper(PWA '98?), and when he was in the Aloha Classic in 1987 (AKA Richie Myers gets eaten).. I've only been told that he is the Master, never shown..

too funny ! Dont try and please or appease the audience on this forum - heartache only lies there.

The most boring conversations are those in which everyone agrees with each other.

Gotta give credit to Naish for pioneering big pole vaults - back before the safety spin was invented. They certainly look dated now

progress involves standing on the shoulders of giants
