Nice dude! thats some really impressive riding especially being behind a unwieghted? i/o

Yeah it's a 17' 1992 Four Winns - Freedom. I could be wrong about the year. It's early 90s anyways. We had about 350 pounds of Ballast. The boat can't take a lot more than that. There are a couple shots in the video where it was behind an unweighted ski boat. Not much wake at all. I'm still trying to land an HS 7 off the double-up behind the Four Winns. That is my goal for next year... although I have my doubts. I'm committed to it though!

Nice Ridin Greg!

Dude! Okay not to go all off on a rant, but way to freaking go. Multiple inverts, big grab 3's, fives from both sides and even a couple different ollie flips in the flats (not sure what we're calling those these days). I liked the turtles glowing eyes heh. <BR> <BR>Very very impressive, this is what wakeboarding is really about and I would so much rather watch you than anyone in some new rich boat. <BR> <BR>I rode behind my small i/o for about 12 years, it was a 16.5' 1976 Glastron, we put about 3-4 lbs of water weight in it. I couldn't quite grab my 3's, and only landed a couple back rolls. I've since upgraded to an 87 Supra SunSport last summer. Still trying to dial the wake in but it's a big improvement and surfing rocks. More power to you dude. <BR> <BR>What was your injury? This is Ontario? <BR> <BR>(Message edited by wakemikey on February 15, 2009)

Whoa you rip man, inside out back rolls and tantrums to blind rocked, sweet.

NIce! You rip. Man I think I rode better back in the day behind a closed bow ski boat. More power to you bro.

Thanks guys. That means a lot coming from guys on this forum who actually know how to rip. My buddies give me props but they honestly don't know the difference between a tantrum and a whirlybird. So... thanks again! <BR> <BR>WakeMikey, the injury was a buldging disc. It took about a year to recover from. And yes, I ride in Ontario. It's actually up in Peterbourgh on Buckhorn Lake. <BR> <BR>Hahaha, the chipmunk was cool. I was trying to feed him peanuts right out of my hand. As you can see in the video, he came within a couple inches of me and the camera but he wouldn't take it right from my hand. The camera wasn't zoomed in at all, that's how close he actually got. <BR> <BR>The tantrum to blind I haven't landed yet. Actually, that probably wasn't one of by better attempts. The tantrum to fakie I have landed, just not on film yet.
