In East Tennessee it's not often we get to ride comfortably this late in the season. Today the air temp was around 80 (normally in the 60's) and the water was around 70 (normally in the high 50's by now). <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/513154.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/513155.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/513156.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/513157.jpg" alt="Upload">

Wow talk about going big....very nice

Sweet, my wife and were planning on going up last weekend, it looks as thou we should have. I still haven't ridden on Cherokee lake or any of the other lakes in the area

Awesome pics Nate. What are you doing in that last picture? Thats a perfect shot...

going big! looks good

Thanks! Tantrum off the double up.....Thats my boy Pat. Me in the second and third.

Goin BIG!!! Very nice!

i love that water spray on that 2nd pic. that should be in a magazine.

What lake are you riding on..Looks awsome! I was out visiting my cousin this summer and he took me to Dale Hollow...Loved it! I am trying to move out to TN now..

Alan - Thanks..... Good camera man. <BR> <BR>Sean - South Holston Lake

I know where you been getting them photo skills!!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>I am getting ready to order some new stuff for mine!!!

Nate, Great pics! I knew I should have come out there! Spent the day doing honey do crap! This was water spray pic I thought was cool of my son this summer! <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/513752.jpg" alt="Upload">

Awesome shots!!!!!!! I am with Alan, the second one is magazine. Pat is really up huh? GO BIG DAY!!! Hotsauce still has a better deep water start. <BR> <BR>I am really impressed with the way you guys are riding. Nate, it hasn't been a long time since we were talking outside the restaurant at the Pro Tour.

No doubt Marv... It has really been a fun year and I am really not ready for it to be over. I hope that next year is half as good. <BR> <BR>I had Pat's roommate (Rogers) out on a chase boat with my camera taking the shots for Me, Pat and Nick. The second shot is killer, I wish I could say that I took it, but Rogers is the man..I can say it's me in the pic though<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

Great pics we got out on a warm Sunday as well air temp about 75 water about 68...yes there were actually tubers out there. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/513766.jpg" alt="Upload">

nate and mike o, <BR>we are actually quite close. i live in nashville and we ride on percy priest. if you guys are ever around nashville, give us all a shout on wakeboardnashville.com. we are still riding here, we went out last thursday, water temps were still 72 degrees.

I think I flew over you guys on sunday on my way to Knoxville! Very nice river you have there!

Alan - We are fairly close. Nashville is about 4 1/2 hours, but we are there for regional meetings quite often. Thanks for the invite and the same goes to you. <BR> <BR>Daniel - I don't know where you flew in from, but it's likely that you did fly over.

Alan my son lives in Nashville on 5th Ave. N.

mike, does he ride? is he on wakeboardnashville.com? i have met a great group of people on there and we ride at least once or twice a week. i am owenitall on there too. tell him to get plugged in there and give us a shout. we are having a little halloween party this friday night. it would be a great time to come meet everybody.

Hijack, Nate, how do you get your photos to import into WakeWorld at that size and detail? Whenever I try to upload photos from my Mac the site makes me reduce the number of pixels and doesn't give me any control over the size of the image to be displayed. Great shots, Les

The detail comes from the camera. I use Infranview ( a free program ) to resize all of my photos. I resize to 800x600. I think WW's maximum size is 1000x1000. Good luck.

lets get back to talking about Pat needing to grab on that double up!

Lets get back to Chris Hill even going riding. I know if I lived on the lake and had a bad ass Avalanche my ass would be grabin more then just a fn tantrum.

he's an angry elf. I do ride Pat....but when your married, over 30, beat up from years of jumping and wakeboarding, getting ready to have shoulder surgery, and not to mention a job the riding has to take 2nd or 3rd place, i can still ride though, and grab.....do i need to proove it? hahahaha. i also fogot to mention overweight, that makes bending up and flipping and spinning MUCH harder when I have to swing this gut around! <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR>the whole point is, you are supposed to be the young stud, carry on a legacy so to speak, so dang-it GRAB and SPIN. (by the way this is where you pass the handle on a blind 3) <BR>SHAKE N BAKE<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/515672.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR>one last thing....we tore the house down, get ready for next spring!

oh yea, nice ups on that d.up though

Damn boys! Now calm down..... All this hostility gets my blood pressure up<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>

Simmer down Nate! We are just like 2 brothers who haven't seen each other in a long time that feed off of giving each other crap! Pat knows this old man could still take him, although when he pimps that sweet facial hair above his lip like back in March, his cool level goes off the carts and I can't hang with that.
