 Mon Jul 10, 06 11:21 am Compare & Contrast - Inept |
 |
|
I’ve been lurking for a while now over here in & out of Maui land & thought it was time to have a little fun with this Inept Character.
Here's some more of that attention that you desperately crave Inept:
Compare & Contrast:
Richman Brothers – Sponsored kiteboarders traveling the world & competing in Pro events
Inept Fun – Punk kid hanging out at the sandbar sliding his food tray over an old picnic table
Richman Brothers – Boosting huge airs with technical handle pass kite loop combos
Inept Fun - Punk kid hanging out at the sandbar sliding his food tray over an old picnic table
Richman Brothers – Traveling the world to be in professional video & photo shoots
Inept Fun – Filming his buddies at the sandbar sliding their food trays over an old picnic table while holding a can of Budweiser
Is this gay Inept? = http://www.cabrinhakites.com/riders/index.php?shawn_richman
Once you compete in a real comp, get some press, and are a team rider than you can talk some smack Ian.
Stay tuned more to come, Dog Out
Richmans & Rich men
Siblings catch some big air, win big bucks

Hawaii native Shawn Richman won the men's Boarder X kiteboarding championship Saturday at the 2006 Nissan Velocity Games near McGee Beach.
The 17-year-old Richman from Maui earned $4,000 for his efforts Saturday, while his 13-year-old brother Jesse Richman won $2,500 for placing second.
"I hate competing against my brother, but when we're both in the finals it doesn't get any better than that," said Shawn, a first-time visitor to Corpus Christi. "To finish 1-2 with my brother is so awesome."
"This definitely will help us pay for the trip down here," Jesse said. "This is unbelievable. We just came here to have some fun. I never would've thought that I would be taking home any money. We'll for sure be back next year."

Ive seen peoples dads do hooked in sent front rolls, a million times in a row. I could even send it and spin my first year of kiting. Im sorry im not FIXATED on what you think is cool. Im not trying to be BETTER than anybody, or compare myself to anyone either, im trying to do my own thing, and have my own style.
I didnt realize calling someone a dangler meant that i am bitter, and got showed up?
Sweet im out.
BTW wind was sick at the sandbar today, and no one was there to "show me up" either. hopefully no one "shows me up" tomorrow, or i would cry  . |

Shawn and Jesse are great riders and very cool guys (Jesse is probably one of the best kiteboarding ambassadors in the industry). Formerly Naish team riders, im sure that they are living the life and having a killer time.
Ian- chill out a bit dude...you are a representative of the brand and not looking super stellar right at this moment.

The great thing about the richman kids is above kiting--it's not that they are professionals--but they are GREAT people. Thats why they get the attention they do. BTW: dictionary.com:
in·ept P Pronunciation Key (n-pt)
adj.
Not apt or fitting; inappropriate.
Displaying a lack of judgment, sense, or reason; foolish: an inept remark.
Bungling or clumsy; incompetent: "inept handling of the kite"

What are you really trying to say here?
Is it that the Richman Kids go huge and can talk to the public without an attitude, and are truly great ambasitors of the sport?
Or is it, Inept-Fun should really spell his name Npt-Fun.
Hey Yo Npt. WaU tinK bra?
Go heavy on the mayo and hold that fucking pickle!

Da-dog is clearly the biggest shit talker here, Ian is entitled to his own opinion and there is also little doubt that dangly sent tricks are not as difficult as powered wakestyle tricks or riding sliders, and also not as stylish. As far as your comparison, i doubt you can slide a picnic table, escpecially not while drinking beer. Inept Crews original style is leading kiteboarding in a direction that will earn the respect of more established board sports, like snowboarding and skateboarding, instead of making us look like poleboarders doing lame tricks with bad style. Oh, and dont get it twisted, Inept crew is gangsta, not punk. Respect the real, bitches!

Well, when I read they were gay--I took offense. No need to swear. But then I realized that when I first saw them...I, I thought they were girls. (cuz of the long hair and all that--you can understand...from a far...) ++Plus I dangle a lot-- due to body damage--so that hit a nerve too. I can't wait to see some vids. Either of me, taken by me, or anyone with a good vision...like this:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8240222592541935010&q=kite+surf+sherman+island
No need for hostility--that the theme...

Here I am after dislocating my shoulder two weeks ago...
It popped out, then back in about 3-7 seconds later. WOW that sucked.
Kudos to Henry for grabbing the shots. Thanks H!
