I have a 6yr old son that loves wakeboarding. Every morning before school he will watch a video while eating breakfast. His newest DVD is Relentless, and it has opened a new door for him. He now thinks Melissa Marquardt is the greatest thing to happen to wakeboarding. I will admit for a female rider she is good, but I think she like more than just her style. <BR> <BR>Anyone know where or how I could get an autographed photo of her for Christmas? Maybe something addressed to him? <BR>

Well, I know a few people who know her, and if they don't respond to the thread, I will get to um! <BR> <BR>Melissa is a great rider with lots of style and talent. Spinning thoes 5's bolth ways man. Rockin. <BR> <BR>Have a good one.

so you're pulling the old "i got a 6yr old son" trick just to get a pick of the lovely lady. thats just sick. <BR> <BR>j/k<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>

toolfan ~ don't be mad cause he thought of it b4 you. Good one Jamie<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>

Toolfan – I will be the first to admit I’m a married old man. I will even let you know my wife wears the pants, and that is fine with me as long as she lets me get in them once in a while.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0> At 31 with a wife and kid my photo collection is of old memories, not dreams of another woman. <BR> <BR>But I will give her props for her riding style and skills on a wakeskate. <BR> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by jamie lamar on November 15, 2004)

But you're only 31, that's hardly old!!

Jamie, <BR> <BR>I just happened to be on Wakeworld today and saw your post. <BR> <BR>Melissa will be stoked to know your son's a fan! <BR> <BR>We’re glad to know that Relentless is your son’s favorite! He has good taste in picking Melissa, too. <BR> <BR>What is your address? We can definitely get Melissa to sign something for your son. <BR> <BR>I tried to send you a direct email, but it bounced back. <BR> <BR>Shoot me your address and we’ll make it happen. <BR> <BR>My email is <a href="mailto:donw@liquidforce.com">donw@liquidforc e.com</a>. <BR> <BR>Melissa’s in Hawaii for the US Open right now, but she’ll be back this week. <BR> <BR>Thanks, <BR> <BR>Don Wallace <BR>

Don- Check your e-mail. <BR> <BR>

Im just kidding dude. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>That's awesome that your boy is into wakeboarding. To make things better, he digs a chick rider. Right On! <BR> <BR>I was just pickin'. Sarcasm doesnt work in print. I forgot the emoticon denoting sarcasm. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/triangle_down.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>I also dig MM for the record!!!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

Hi Jamie, I live in Canyon Lake and was going to post to help you but I see that Don has it well handled for you. Where do you live?? We have an awesome series of wakeboard contests that melissa comes out for. You are more than welcome to bring your son and we could get him in the boat to watch her ride. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/199820.gif" alt="">

Hey TV, <BR> <BR>Wanna get me in that boat, as well <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/talker.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Just kidding. <BR> <BR>How are the boys? Still rippin? Have a good one.

Toolfan- I took it with a smile!!! I really thought it was funny and once I thought about it I knew what it looked like. Not sure if you’re a dad or not, but at this time in my life it’s all about the little one. <BR> <BR>I’ve noticed one thing about kids, they are always smiling and somewhere there is a parent smiling just as much. Told my wife about all this and she was just so tickled about it. Can wait to see his face and give him a hard time about his little crush. <BR> <BR>TeamValdez- Thanks for the invite. We live in the Kansas City area, but do a lot of traveling during the summer. E-Mail me some info. <BR>

You gatta spice it up Don. <BR> <BR>Have her sign it, <BR> <BR>Dear Suchandsuch, <BR>Keep on rippin! <BR>Love, Melissa <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>I'd love to see the look on his face when you hand him the signed picture Jamie <BR> <BR>

I will try to get it on tape so I can down load it on the pc and post it for all to see.
