So fellow WW readers, the 2004 Pro Tour season is officially over and I am now in Scottsdale, AZ. I hope everyone enjoyed the coverage of this years tour stops. I really don't know where everyone rides around here other than lake Bartlett. Who is where and how often do you guys ride? Looking for pulls on the weekends, will pay gas and shoot photos for pulls! <BR> <BR>Steven

Steven, <BR>Whats up bro, your going to love it here. Bartlett is good, but you should also check out sahuaro. Its a whole lot warmer down here than up in WA <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>

Steven make sure you check out "Valley Ride Shop" they have everything you need for your wakeboard..See josh when you go there. <BR> <BR>21st street and camelback.. <BR> <BR>

Steven, I'm sure you already know, but if not... <BR>Good folks down there. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.azwakeboardassoc.com" target="_blank">http://www.azwakeboardassoc.com</a>

Geeze, what a contrast in weather! <BR> <BR>Sunny Dry Heat vs Grey Wet Cold. <BR> <BR>Lookup SteveAZ. He used to hang out on WW.

Thanks Guys, my new office is on 25th and Camelback so I'll check it out today. <BR> <BR>Steven

pm'd you, holla back on this thread if you didn't get it. I work on 24th and Camelback and have a baddass Jet-O-Vator with 100 lbs of water ballast and a Sparkomatic Stereo.

Hahn, I have a bunch of college buddies down there. None of them ride though. I get down there now and then we'll have to go out and hit the local clubs next time I'm down! <BR> <BR>

Chaun, What the heck is a jet o vader? Lol Didn't get the PM just give me a ring at 206-852-9988 <BR> <BR>Magic, Hit me up next time your planning on coming down. <BR> <BR>Steven

steve, hit me up. I'm in gilbert.

What's your number? Call me my number is above.

I lived at 27th and Indian School Rd. when I was there. It is the hot spot for pollution in the entire Pheonix area. Wakeboarding was not yet invented when I lived there <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" border=0> We did do a lot of hikes at dawn, and saw the true beauty that the desert holds. We also lived like vampires for much of the time as night was the only time it was bearable, and we went to school during the day.

Welcome to the valley. I'll PM you. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by aram on October 12, 2004)

For some reason I'm not receiving PM's. Please contact me at <a href="mailto:hahnsolo2002@yahoo.com">hahnsolo2002@ yahoo.com</a> <BR> <BR>Steven

Hahn,,, do you golf? I am going to be in scottsdale for 4 days in november for some golfing. Would love to hook up with ya.

Absolutely!

Steven, AZ huh? Mel went to school there..you'll have fun. <BR> <BR>As far as riding, roll over to Surfside Boat Center (Supra/Moomba) dealer and holla at Dan Lee. Good people and he'll get you out riding.

Steve, <BR> <BR>Glad to see so many people hooking you up in Az. <BR> <BR> I think it would only be fair for you to let them <BR>know about your incurable rash, and the frequent seizures prior to accepting any pulls from people you don't know.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0>

I am going to be there the 18th of November till the following monday. I will keep in contact between now and then so we can get a round or two in. I am planning on playing fri sat and sunday .

What about these private lakes I've been hearing about?

Steven, <BR>I'll call you back in a bit. I think we might be heading out to Sahuaro on Saturday. I'll also give you the inside scoop on the private lakes... They're not all they're cracked up to be.

OK, I have nothing constructive to add to this post, but I thought I'd share some of my childhood memories. I lived in Scottsdale about 20 years ago, and we would go to both Bartlet and Sahuaro... one of them had a long dirt road to get to, when we would leave, later in the evening, there was always a river of tarantulas crossing the roadways... we would stop and just watch them flood across. Coolest and weirdest thing I had ever seen!!!

Hahn, <BR> <BR>Did you enjoy shooting the CWB catalog?

Shooting the catalog was a great experience. Working with guys like Joey Maddock and Josh Letchworth this summer was awesome. Look for a spread of my shots in the next Wakeboarding Magazine titled "Wall Ride" I have some really great shots of Danny Harf and Ryan Wolfe riding a spillway on Lake Altoona in Georgia.

Hey Hahn! Now you live there, you'd better learn how to spell the name of the State Capital...LOL <BR> <BR>On another note...I frequently head out that way. Scottsdale is killer. Next time I'm out there, I'll look you up! <BR> <BR>(Message edited by depswa on October 14, 2004)

I know! By the time I realized I misspelled it, it was too late to edit it...
