Moomba XLV...

Yep.

(seajeff) · (seajeff) **Join Date: Aug 2006** 08-21-2007, 11:30 AM

Bringing Moomba XLV so make that 8 boats.

We have a pretty full crew but Im sure we can pick up a rider or two on some of our runs.

Seems like we have a lot of prizes this year that Cliff and Hahn arranged. Why not have both a King of Crash and a best new (landed) trick contest? That way everyone out there has a shot at something.

It looks pretty official for me now....we'll be up Friday morning, but have to leave Sat evening. I should have room for a couple of folks through the day on my boat.

Brad,
I guess you just happened to "find" those pictures. Hard to believe it was that long ago. Those are a little bit more tame then some of the ones that are circulating here in Vegas.

I maybe in the area. . . Can I pick up a ride from someone? Gary do you have any room in the boat for an extra rider? I hear Dusty maybe heading over too!

Cliff, what is the status on the potluck?

For anyone who might be interested I will have a 2007 Ronix One 142 blem up for sale. Only ridden a couple of times. I am told I am not allowed to ride it anymore, so it will be for sale, not sure on the price yet.

Also, everyone remember to bring your slider boards, the kicker will be completed on Saturday so get ready.

(seattle) · (seattle) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 08-23-2007, 5:25 PM

Potluck, King of Crash, Best New Trick, and best Safety Dance rules will be posted this Saturday for all interested.

That's alright Fisher, you couldn't throw the jello shots very well anyway. Glad to hear you and Josh are coming up. Safe travels, See you Friday.

See you all Friday!

Looks like I will be last minute cancelling due to injury. I was thinking of coming over just to drink beer but seeing 8 boats tear up the butter will just make me too sad (not too mention the doctor recommends staying off alcohol and caffein). I hope to be back on the water in a couple weeks. Everyone have a great time and there will be a hotel room opening up so hopefully someone else will be able to fill the void......Adam

(otiswunguy) · (otiswunguy) **Join Date: Apr 2002** 08-26-2007, 3:01 PM

It doesn't look like the pvc is going to extend into the water on the kicker. I hope I am wrong but I think there are plenty of tools and hands available if it needs to change.

(jaegermaster) · (jaegermaster) **Join Date: Sep 2002** 08-26-2007, 8:08 PM

Mike, the slider looks good. As for the kicker, there is less foam at the start of the ramp than there was before. If anything, we might have too much slope to it. We are bringing it unassembled so we can float it at the ramp and tune it as necessary.

Like Cliff said, bring your helmets kiddies.

(noti_dad) · (noti_dad) **Join Date: Jul 2003** 08-26-2007, 9:34 PM

I found and will bring Jello shot cups. Think we can make them there? What do we need to fill them besides jello?

We have another newcomer joining us for Wakefest. She will be in our room for the weekend.

Mike - The slider looks good.
Brad - Nice job on the kicker. Saw it at Cliffs tonight and I agree that the PVC will be in the water and may be a bit more of a slope than you want.

Regardless it will be fun to watch all the crashes off that kicker.

(otiswunguy) · (otiswunguy) **Join Date: Apr 2002** 08-27-2007, 4:39 PM

As long as the kicker pitch is between 15 and 20 degrees, we are good to go. I'll be happy to be the crash test dummy for both of them!!!

Dave....Booze!!

Hey need a little advice, which would be recommend to getting there from whidbey island, goind down through seattle or going north. Remember we are towing a boat and have little ones with us.

Cliff,
Looks as though we will be down weds night or first thing thurs morning!

(jaegermaster) · (jaegermaster) **Join Date: Sep 2002** 08-27-2007, 7:13 PM

Kenny, You can either go over Hwy 2. A little slow with all the small towns you go through, but a straighter shot. Or you can go I-90 and go over Blewett Pass to Hwy 2, then east to Wenatchee and up the river. Neither 90 or Blewett are that bad of passes. Once you hit Wenatchee I would suggest crossing over to the East side of the river and then heading up. It is a bit longer in mileage, but quicker in time.

Where does the Whidbey ferry drop you? In Mukilteo? If that is the case I would go Hwy. 2.

You can call me tomorrow if you have questions.

Brad 206-930-0908

(ghostrider_2) · (ghostrider_2) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 08-27-2007, 7:43 PM

yep it would be the Mukilteo ferry.
what do you think for scenery north or south?
So south is a little faster?

(eaglejackson) · (eaglejackson) **Join Date: Oct 2004** 08-27-2007, 8:36 PM

Some friends who live in Edmonds (near Mukilteo) and go to their condo in Chelan nearly every weekend (Chelan is on the way to Pateros) get to Chelan from Edmonds by driving south on I-405 to SR-522 in Woodinville, east to US-2 in Monroe, US-2 to Wenatchee and then 97-A to Chelan. Versus going north to US-2 in Everett and east from there.

(jaegermaster) · (jaegermaster) **Join Date: Sep 2002** 08-27-2007, 8:58 PM

Mukilteo to Pateros via I-5 North to Hwy 2, then East = 183.3 mi (3 hrs. 15 min.)

(ghostrider_2) · (ghostrider_2) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 08-27-2007, 9:35 PM

what if I go north and use SR20?

(noti_dad) · (noti_dad) **Join Date: Jul 2003** 08-27-2007, 10:11 PM

Don't go through Chelan. I've gone both ways it is not as long on the map but slower, thus takes longer. Besides the drive up from Wenatchee along the river is a really nice view of Enitat. It will definitely get you ready to ride!!

Golf balls are coming and so is booze for the jello shots.

(ghostrider_2) · (ghostrider_2) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 08-27-2007, 10:25 PM

we (me) are starting to pack tonight, but a few questions. Do they have bbq grills if so how many? How big are the refer's or should we just plan on a big cooler? small town, do they have a good grocery store for meats (are they expensive)?

Yes the wife said "BRING ON THE JELLO SHOTS!!"

(Message edited by ghostrider_2 on August 27, 2007)

(jaegermaster) · (jaegermaster) **Join Date: Sep 2002** 08-28-2007, 6:05 AM

BBQ's are standard state park type cemented into the ground. There are probably 6. The refers are the small college type. I usually keep meat and such in the refer and load the cooler up with beer. The town of Pateros does not have a grocery store. Brewster is only 10 minutes further and does have a full grocery.

I wouldn't go Hwy 20. The pass is pretty steep and really windy. Plus it costs me a water pump every time I go through Darrington.

(otiswunguy) · (otiswunguy) **Join Date: Apr 2002** 08-28-2007, 5:05 PM

Darren- The rail will be in my truck at crescent bar sat a.m.- mon a.m. If you want to help me launch it and bring it back then we can put it in the water and tow it down to the lagoon for a few sessions. It's a bit of work. It's going on the northeast end of Sammamish when we all get back if you would rather wait until then.

Dave- I am packing now as well. You would be surprised how well that slider fits in my 6'8" truck bed.

what exit in pateros or is it just one exit in the town?

(tcluv85) · (tcluv85) **Join Date: Jan 2004** 08-29-2007, 9:10 AM

Don't blink while you are driving....you might just miss the turn.

There isn't really an exit. There are two turns both will lead you to the hotel. If you take the first right turn (assuming you are heading north) will take you by the gas station (the scenic route...2 minutes longer because you get to see the RV hookups).

Enjoy!

Had a blast this year.

Weather was awesome, water was perfect, managed a legendary hangover one of the days, met and hung out with Shaun Kilgus, got to meet and hang out with ton of new folks from all over the northwest, landed two out of five attempts at the kicker, rode my but off, had a great potluck bbq with everyone, got a round of golf in, and finally got my wife out on the water for a cruise.

This was by far my favorite NWWF, and we will definitely be doing it Labor Day weekend next year.

I didn't get too many pics, but my wife caught my impression of Super Dave on the kicker.

My first attempt.

Uneditedand with sound King of Crash. The slap you hear is the board hitting the front of the barrel. Troy hit it soo hard it actually knocked the barrels loose and cracked his molded in fin. Definitely deserving of the title King Of Crash and the Grand Prize.

Thanks for the good times over there. Wish I could have stuck around longer but Crescent bar was calling me as well. Here are a few pics. We were able to get brooke up on a horseshoe ski at CB. I think that was the highlight of my trip with the late night B.S. session on thursday coming in a close second. So who won best new trick or was that eliminated?

(noti_dad) · (noti_dad) **Join Date: Jul 2003** 09-04-2007, 1:56 PM

Mike - I don't think anything can come close to topping the Thursday night BS session. Cliff was definitely out of control and Scotty eggin' him only helped make it better. Best new trick was thrown out. Guess my Switch TS W2W, HS Shifty, TS BS surface 180 (switch and regular)and the Stalefish grab were the only never before thrown tricks and didn't count as being "good" enough tricks (yes I have them on film/have proof).

Steve - You really missed out on the best NWWF yet.
