My boyfriend and I have been contemplating this as well haha...

We decided go-tee is cooler, with emphasis on the first syllable.

It's pronounced "fish". The hard 'f' sound like in "tough", the soft 'i' sound like in "women, and the 'sh' sound like in "volition."

True and False. The origins of our name is from that (fish pronunciation). But we decided it is pronounced goh-tee (almost like the facial hair style.)

Can't wait for these videos!

I think Gaw-Tee sounds better. Go-tee is like goatee, like the mustache beard.

"Gaw" is just... weird. 'Gho' like ghost.

if you stress the first syllable like kataplexy said, it sounds different than goatee (end stress).... i like it! that's how i've been reading/saying it

i never understood the differences of stresses until i starting studying russian

Yeah. That's what I was trying to get at, but I couldn't figure out how to word it.

I don't have a goatee or a Ghoti, however, it is in my power to have either :P

I have lots of one, and none of the other... But with a little shaving...

That's a sexy little hill you got there man. That neighborhood looks so quiet.

Yeah, it's a sick hill. It's our best freeriding hill, and only the bottom half of it is in the video. The speedboarding hill is our parkway. It's a wicked street with lots of good turns. We've been up to about 40 on it (and that's accurate, we had a follow car). I'm trying to get a race going on that hill, but nobody on the fish seems to want to get involved. Or there's just no one near NW Missouri that longboards :P

Then buy one! Or win this here contest.

...not looking to get sponsored by Ghoti (gnar skill poor) but I'll sure sponsor them!

Bless the Manatee, the loving hands and TLC that built it for me. It might be intended as a speed board but if you don't add a shock pad and go to carve heaven, you're missing out on mega fun.

Speaking of the Syren... bring it, bring it, bring it!! (this is going to be a painful wait for it's arrival

)

Ghoti rocks!

I plan on getting a Syren one way or another. I'd like to try one as a topmount speedboard; add some extra plies onto it and rip. Would that work, or does the shape create too much flex?

With an extra 3 plys it will be stiff, with no flex. Unless you weigh over 300lbs.

Haha, well I'm about half that weight, so I think it should work then! Cool! I'm pumped now. I've been thinking about getting a topmounted speedboard, and now I've decided on one!
