Kite Tube Rider, "This is Going to Hurt"

[Onthewater]

Onthewater & Hollywood,
This is a public forum. If you are so compelled to make it your life mission to expose any untruths on PN, please take it offline. There is no reason all of us have to listen to your bickering and distorted logic.

Banks,
You're never going to convince either of these two guys to admit to anything, nor should you try. I think it's safe to say that most of us agree that the tube is dangerous and your pic may have had a part in coming to that conclusion for some. Either way, you have an unbelievable picture (pun intended). Thanks for posting on PN.

OMFG, get off your high horse dude.

There are plenty of other people that called this pic and witnesses coming out of the woodwork bogus so DO NOT call me out. You are right, this is a (semi) public forum, and until the site administrators tell me to tone it down or that I have done something wrong I would advise you to go over to candlewood customs website where you and your son can have a nice little happy board where nobody questions anything and everything typed or shown is gospel.

Quit forcing your crap on other people, like I said until Jeff or Luke say I have violated a forum rule severely or multiple times or I even get a single warning then I'll consider toning it down and letting myself be force fed some of these people's BS.

Peace out.

Sorry you had such a bad experience on PN, we have some regulars over here that seem to know everything and don't mind telling you so.

Luke, Jeff,

Kick me off, ban me, I am at the point that I don't really care. This just has to be said.

By the way, just to make sure I am on topic. That is submitted as an example of a photo shopped pic. Just tring to help.

Fatboy - I hear ya about the tone of some of these posts, but your last post with the picture was totally uncalled for and extremely offensive to me...and that's pretty much impossible for me.

My oldest son is autistic, perhaps in your feeble terms retarded...but when he wins, he shows people such as yourself how little they know about what people with those conditions can achieve.

Don't even try to post any come backs, apologies, etc. - cause I don't care to hear them!

Jeff, Luke - I'd appreciate you deleting that post - pretty much the least humorous and most offensive thing I've seen on this site to date.

[igkya]

I'd have to agree with scottrob about the fatboy posting. That post was way out of line.

But I disagree with Fatboy's post from earlier that was directed towards OTW and Hollywood. Just because these guys are more outspoken than most doesn't mean they think they know everything. They've made some very good contributions to this site and offer a different point of view. I am always looking for different ways to do something or another point of view. If I happen to disagree with it, I don't make some stupid remark or insult.

Whew, I am glad to see the heat is of me. This thread has taken a whole new turn.

PS: Yep, I'm still here :grin:

The photo and the story are on the front page of today's Minneapolis Star Tribune! and I have seen someone @20-30 ft high on one.

PS the story is not regarding the picture, just one of the many similar stories

well, i personally feel that anyone that wants the thing should be allowed to buy it. but, only after viewing a mandatory "consequences" video showing how dangerous they are

[bobchris]

I don't agree that if they want it then let them have it. yes this is a free country but this is a very dangerous activity and doesn't need to be on a public waterway. The driver cannot control cross windds and there are always cross winds and that is what is going to throw off the rider. Also the rider has no control as to the heigth the tube can go and another boater may not see the rider falling out of the sky into their path of travel then there is a major problem. There are idiots born everyday and they should stay on land.
