I had a great time at the Fred Hall Boat Show yesterday snapping pics of Watson, Henshaw, Ruck, <BR>Harrington and Shane Bonifay. This was the first show of 11 that will go through the weekend, <BR>but these guys were already trying to outgun each other. Check out how far off the slider and wall <BR>these guys were getting. Shane set the bar, but I think Collin may have raised it with a few of these. <BR>Chris Resnick (crracer) gets credit for some of these pics. Thanks for the help, Chris. <BR> <BR>If you haven't gotten out there to check out this show, you should definitely do so this weekend. <BR>Chad Sharpe arrived last night, so he'll be out there as well. You can find all the details at <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/getarticle.asp?articleid=1061" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/getarticle.asp?articleid=1061</a>. <BR> <BR>Afterwards, we headed up to casa Wakesports and had a poker tournament. I went out in third (out of 16) <BR>after a bad beat on the river by the eventual winner, Ryan. Tyler took second on his home turf with <BR>his wife dealing (there may be some ethics issues there). <BR> <BR>It was really fun hanging out with all the pros and everybody else. Lots of great people. Enjoy the pics. <BR> <BR>The setup. Much nicer than last year.

where was my invite????

Here's your invite: <a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/getarticle.asp?articleid=1061" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/getarticle.asp?articleid=1061</a>. Your boat (Epic) was there. I was surprised not to see you as well!

nice shots man! You were right up there!

Incredible pics at the rail jam, nice job! <BR> <BR>I see someone from NJ trying out their poker skills. <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

i was talkin' about poker man! i won $300 in vegas and was ready to take your money! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>i had meetings all day yesterday, and had other things to sort out with the move and all. i have to head back up to stockton this weekend to get the house squared away to rent it out. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/angry.gif" border=0>

where is it? I might check it out sat

Thanks. That's why I like taking pics at the rail jams so much. You can get so close that even an amateur like me can get some good shots. They had the TV stations out yesterday and I was hiding under the first flat rail with my camera. I would snap a pic and then duck down before I got decapitated. The news guy said he wasn't sure if he should be filming the riders or me. I think I might have made the news last night! <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR> <BR>Yes, you do see Jeff "Fartin'" Barton trying his luck at the poker table. He was doing great until he took a monster loss late in the game. I think Ruck stole most of JB's money. <BR> <BR>Joe, if you were at the rail jam I'm sure you could have wrangled an invite. Have fun in Stockton. <BR> <BR>Tim, follow the link above for times and location.

That rail set up looked sic, nice combo's I am sure.

sick photos Dave... <BR> <BR>henflobber is a jibster!

Unreal pics! Good job! <BR> <BR>Looks like good times were had by all. <BR> <BR>And that's the Wednesday night? Friday and Saturday night should be quite entertaining to say the least. <BR> <BR>Life is good!
