Discount codes?

[mikeskiw]

On a few other forums they have a discount codes sticky for vendors. I would like to pick up a new Stokes EVO2, is there any discounts from BoS?

Great first post.

[mike_mapple]

We do offer a discount for Ballers who have been on the site / have been supporting Ball of spray, feel free to shoot me an email, as the code changes so posting it here, and it changing next week wont do to much good.

 

you can email me at [email protected]

Hi @mikeskiw head to perf and they'll be able to get you sorted. Great, knowledgable staff with a wide range of Stokes Products.

Got my Evo2 about a week ago from PerfSki. Mike took care me. Love the vest!

Impressive, that would have made for an awesome first post here!

Maybe without the unnecessary side blow in my direction. ;)

 

Just paint a picture in your head ...

A new guy, that nobody knows, stumbles into a room full of people who know each other for quite a while. Without any further introduction or even saying “hello”, he asks “where can I get stuff cheaper?” How do you think would be the reaction of the group?

 

Cheers, and welcome here!

@DavidN, very nicely done. You are a better man than I.

[mikeskiw]

bye.

[Keith_Menard]

I feel like we hardly knew ye.

That was such a bizarre interaction

[bparson]

I’m still new and that “bye” kinda hurt my feelings. Hate to feel what you guys that have been here awhile feel.

[UWSkier]

Might be the best time ever on BoS to use this meme.

 

 

“Bye, Felicia” is a line spoken by Ice Cube’s character, Craig, in the 1995 cult stoner comedy film, Friday. While smoking a joint with his friend Smokey, Craig is approached by Felisha, a local girl who constantly annoys the neighborhood with her attempts to mooch off others.

Well, if nothing else, hopefully the next guy coming on here just looking for discount codes will see this and think twice. Thank you @DavidN for saying, fairly politely, what we were all thinking but couldn't quite put the right words to.

Mike has known John Horton, the owner of this website, since Horton was in diapers. He asks a question, and guess who answers first, with the actual answer Mike is seeking - John Horton. Yet, someone else, who doesn't even know Mike, and quite probably doesn't know Horton, decides to make a shitty comment. That's bad for Horton's business. That's bad for this site. That's bad for water skiing. I don't understand the applause here. If you want to Panda me, or ban me so be it. That was rude, and dumb.

[Keith_Menard]

@Hallpass I couldn't disagree more...if he wants to ask John a question and knows him that well...then ask him directly. Advertisers offer codes to track their spending...they will continue supporting sites where they see a return. If that starts to get abused by people not supporting the site, codes get pulled and advertising dries up.

 

His show me YOUR resume comment when called out was flip and unnecessary...as was his exiting comment. It's always a shame to lose someone with a wealth of experience, but not with such a combative attitude in less than 4 posts.

[Hallpass]

@KeithMenard, that's the great thing. You are permitted to disagree, as am I. Factually, Mike asked one question. The owner of the website answered. Then, HE was attacked. How do you expect him to respond? How would you expect anyone to respond? As he stated, there are discount codes on most of the water sports websites. There are, in fact, discounts offered here as well. The discounts are there for a reason. If the retailers don't find benefit, they will stop offering them. If the owner of this website thought the question was out of line, he could have handled it. Instead, he provided contacts for the discount codes. Here, the user knew enough about the stokes product to want to buy it. He knew enough about this site to come here and maybe, find a better price. That's a win for Stokes, for Horton and BOS, and could have been a win for Perf Ski as well. That's exactly why Stokes and Perfski advertise here.

Not only was the "show me your resume" unnecessary, but the whole long post was unnecessary. I would barely call DaveNs comment as calling him out. mikeskiw's response to that in the 1st place was WAY overboard.

[mikeskiw]

Great vest Thomas, nice balance between flotation and flexibility. Second vest just ordered by a friend in blue steel for his wife.

How would you rate ribs protection?

[BlueSki]

I went full Superman OTF in mine. My ribs did not hurt but other parts did.
