Tantrum over a chase boat..
|
|
...in Metronome, I think it was Watson, when he called the chase boat closer. Did a toeside 720 right to the front of the chase boat. That takes Balls!
|
|
no its a raley and its not a chase boat. pretty big
|
|
stupid as hell but looks cool
|
|
|
|
if that photo is not shopped notice that the rider is in focus and the boat is out of focus, meaning the rider is much closer to the photographer then the boat, not over the boat.
|
|
it's not shopped. it's a screen shot off the vid. the boat's out of focus 'cause the camera man's following the rider, not the boat.
|
|
Thanks for giving the idiots a GREAT idea, whoever the rider is.
|
|
Got to be the dumbest thing I've seen someone do. What was he thinking jumping a boat full of people? Just think of what landing in the boat would do to the passengers. Oooops, sorry for that cracked skull/broken arm/dislocated shoulder/broken neck.........
|
|
I agree, that was very dumb. That said, that was one of the coolest and most impressive dumb things I've ever seen!!!!!!

Look all the people in the boat wear it when the wake hits the boat. You have to slow it down to see it.
|
|
that poor little malibu got OWNED!!!
|
|
Logan, theres some haters out there! What because your 4'11'' you have to go out and jump boats now. You definitely got balls bro.
|
|
That's our boat that got jumped in the video Walt posted. Impressive, but not nearly as impressive and dumb as jumping the whole boat.
|
|
Thats pretty sick........
|
|
Yeah, I'm going to go with dumb, crazy and super cool. If it wasn't for dumb, crazy and super cool we wouldn't have most of the entertainment we watch these days. Good stuff!

I think that rider jumped just past, not over, the other boat. Looks pretty cool, and probably not as crazy as it looks from that camera angle.
|
|
ok i am at home and watched the vid (no quicktime at work)
that was dumb, crazy, and not cool. pretty much an a*hole move to do that to the other boat.
|
|
Over, in front of, past, it is still unsafe. I have had someone try a similar jackass move a few months ago at the twins. Guy jumped in front of my boat in a very tight slough(they were also going the wrong direction in tight slough.) If I didn't slam my boat into reverse, kill the engine, and put my boat into the rocks he would have landed in my open bow. I don't know what he was thinking, or even if he had the capabilty to. (I posted this incident on WW when it happened.)
Is it cool? Pretty bad ass. BUT I'm POSITIVE someone that shouldn't be trying this, will. I hope he is the only one that gets hurt. I frankly can do without the reckless badass additude that seems to be so easy to find in our sport. The kinda "Jetski" mentality of not caring about others, disregard for boating safety, and the belief that boats are expensive "toys".
|
|
When I made my comments above, I was under the assumption that the boat he's jumping over and its occupants are willing parties to this stunt, which I assume they are based on the video. If that was just a random boat out on the water that was "volunteerd" for stunt duty, the driver and rider should both be arrested and prosecuted!
|
|
I assumed the boat was a willing paty as well. My point is that some jackass will try this, and one of us will be the other boat. I sure the hell wasn't willing when the similar event happened to me, being I was with my 8 month old daughter and my wife.
|
|
damn matt, that is sick! I wish I could have been there. how did the tourney go?
|
|
That is simply awesome. Props for pulling that off, I love it. Driving a car everday involves huge risk and danger, yet we all do. So much hating here, kinda sad. It appears (to me at least) the other boat was probably a willing/involved party, and should know the risks. So if something bad happens, oh well, sucks for them. They pulled it off and it was/is incredible!
|
|
If you read the caption under where you click for the video, it tells the story about how the other boat wanted him to do it.
|
|
I'm actually surprised that at least a couple of pro's haven't tried to make their name doing "stunt" type wakeboarding.
If you've got the skills, then doing a raley over a boat can't be much more dangerous, or dumb, than a backflip on a motorcycle thats 25 feet in the air.
Thats the kind of stuff it will probably take to get wakeboarding back on tv.
|
|
Clean Dean Lavel did a front flip over a boat back in the good old days.
|
|
Andrew Manz didn't like my post in disaproval of this idiotic stunt. He sent me an e-mail:
"The other boat was in on the whole deal you jackass!! Quit being such a b** and give Logan the props he deserves. Was it dumb? Yes. Was is unsafe? Yes....but he goes HUGE. You keep doing your p**** a** back rolls! That's why he rides with Shawn Murray and you ride with you mom!"
So that is a convincing argument in my book. Now I think it was such a cool stunt.

if you slow it down you can see a guy that is either in the bow or close to it, in the center of the boat, raise a camera straight up trying to get a shot of it. leads me to believe it was over the boat. probably got his cam soaked but it be cool pic
|
|
yes, if you look at where the wake is curling when the rider hits the wake and where it is curling on the other side, assuming the boat is balanced relatively well he is definately going over the other boat. In the above screen capture, the boat is out of focus because it is CLOSER to the camera than the rider. (not because the camera is panning, which would make the image blurred to one side, not out of focus)
|
|
He sent me TWO!! Pretty much the same context of yours Tim. Calling me a B*TCH, a Hater, and a few other things. I love people that call you out online. Nothing beats an asswhopping via modem.
"That's why he rides with Shawn Murray and you ride with you mom!" Hey have you ever seen his Mom ride, SHE RIPS!!!
|
|
HA!
|
|
if you slack off mentally on that one, just imagine the dudes head into the tower or side of the boat at like 30+ mph, now that would be cool, this bad@$$ wrecks himself showing off like that, but I guess if you go that big and you are confident why not show off and take others safety into your own hands
looks cool but that had to be the most dangerous thing I have ever seen with wakeboarding involved

Couldn't help but comment, this is truly bad a55. I would have to say more dangerous than most Moto Freestyle though. No helment plus if the wake board cought the tower or anything else on the boat it would have been a sudden stop, to were the Moto guys most the time slide a little ways after a fall.
|
|
I've never ridden with Shawn Murray or my Mom.
I can do kittybutt backrolls though.
|
|
That's bad ass, I don't see why everyones getting all bent out of shape...
If it wasn't dangerous it wouldn't be as cool...
|
|
Like I said above, I think it's bad ass. It just hit a little close to home for me. I had someone pull a similar move in front of my boat. I was not a willing participant. My boat into the rocks to keep from killing the guy that fell about 20 feet in fron of me. The 700 bones of gel coat work on a boat with 14 hours came out of my pocket. That wasn't bad ass.
Someone will try this as a result of that video, and he won't be as skilled as the rider in the video.
|
|
And please no more emails regarding me being a hater, bitch, or anything else. I'm not reading them and they are reported as SPAM, so they get blocked in the future.
|
|
you're gettin' hate emails?? bahahaha! what a bunch of pussies! 
|
|
my first mental disaster was him hitting the tower with his head, which would cause the tower to snap since its not designed to take pressure from the side. then the busted tower and the rider injuring everyone on the boat. i think he should get some reals balls and go jump a boathouse
i want a nasty email too!
|
|
Have you ever hit your head on your tower? that stuff hurts, no imagine hitting going 30+mph, now if that were me i like to think things through, possible gains: show off for friends, popular, lots of whooping, possible losses: injury to other boat and ocupants, serious injury to me. = no way jose

Ok guys, I guess its time that I post something. In no way do I condone this act, I understand that it was VERY dangerous, but I do understand my limits and had no reservations about do this stunt. Yes I am the idiot that did this, but let me say this, I understand both sides of the arguments presented above. However let me also say that no one in their right mind should try this unless they are POSITIVE they are going to live to talk about it or that they are not going to harm anyone else in the process. I had very experienced drivers and every person that is present in that video was a willing participant and knew of the consequences. Also I did not, NOT, tell people to write hateful things to others (I think as well as you do that his emails were corny. He was just trying to stand up for me but I can handle my own) I love this sport and would hope that what I did was understood, stupid, but understood.
|
|
Is it a dumd stune? Yes. Was it cool? Yes, the two often go hand in hand. As long as everyone was a willing participant no one should have a problem. If someone else tries it and gets hurt/killed, well, that's natural selection for you. These things have a way of working out. "If you're going to be stupid, you better be tough"................
|
|
sweet. so have you tried this before or you just kinda knew you could clear it? i'm in no way trying to be facetious, just wondering. thanks for posting
|
|
Props bro.. I want to see more of this kinda crap.. What made snowboarding so big? COOL SHIAT!? Thats right lets see it but you won't see me doin it. Ain't worth the risk. I agree with Giles. Natural Selection baby! HAHA
|
|
It isn't natural selection and I am with Jeff on this one. It is one thing that this guy had the ability to pull it off, it is the moron that thinks he can now do it but can't. Egos come before brains and that is scary. Glad it worked out this time but ability or not s*** happens, otherwise there would be no ACL issues, concussions, etc. Even the Pros make mistakes and it will only be a matter of time when I read a thread about some tragedy like the "warning' thread posted previously. Just random thoughts.
|
|
If you read the caption for this video on wakepics....that is exactly what he was doing. Power of the p**** my friend. I am just worried about some dude who does it for a boat full of well dudes. My other question would be......did you score?
|
|
Now that I've sobered up from last night, I would like to apologize to all individuals that recieved negative emails from me last night/this morning.
Logan is a good rider and a good friend of mine. I hope my actions do not shed negative light on him. Once again, I apologize for my childish behavior.
With that being said....Logo rips it up and has HUGE cajones!
|
|
Andy, I like the public apology. You could've just hid out till everyone forgot. I have no negative opinions of Logan or you at this point.

haha you were drunk writing those? even better! haha
|
|
After watching that for the 20th time I noticed the cars driving accross the dam. I wonder what thoughts were going through "John Doe's" head while watching this sick trick from the road!
It's a wonder they didn't wreck themselves!
|
|
i jumped a boat wake to wake last weekend.. my buddy was driving my v215 and i was following in my 72 kona jet boat... hit the wake about 55mph and landed in the ramp on the other side.. im gonna try toe side this weekend..
