Pics from Wednesday

Zane and I went out Wednesday. Although it looked cloudy and dreary, it was actually 82 air and about 65 water. Here are some pics for all of you sitting waiting for it to snow or warm up...

Hey Byrd, since you ride with Zane, do you know if Laura Lohrmann is back in town? My cell got fried over the summer and I lost her number.

Steve - riding this weekend and my email is down - give me a ring if you want to head up.

Back in town. Doesn't she live in WI?

Does Zane ride a foam core Absolute? Or is it a Platinum with Foam graphics? I would love that, the foamy graphics look sick with the Deuce, not that I'm vane or anything... If you know, please share, lucky bastard.

Jim T, yeah she lives in WI, but she spends some time during the winters down here. Last spring her boat was tied up at Zanes dock.

Ted - I'll call after work.

Laura lives up north but comes down here for a while in the winter to train with Zane and co. Hence the name Winter Haven.
In fact the Orange and white XStar in my proflie is Lauras.

Zane rides foam core, not Plat. When I asked him why, he told me that he likes the flex of the foam better. Which makes sense, at his skill level, IMO, he has no problem getting up there and the flex on the landing makes it a little softer. Me, on the other hand, I need all the pop I can get, so I ride a Plat. BTW, I also think the foam graphics look a lot better than the Plat...

Stephan, the last time I posted pics riding with Zane, I think you asked about the new 07' Zeus boots and I never got back to you. The last time I rode his board, he had been using the 07 prototypes with the new lace system, and although the boots were well broken in, the cinch system was working perfectly. If you ever get to central FL, let me know and we'll go riding....

billy - are those tires everyone is parked on? can you please explain to me whats going on in that pic?

It used to be a junkyard and after the hurricanes it all flooded. The County filtered out all the toxins in the water and dead rats and oil drums its now a great place to park.
Actually matt Cypress Gardens put those out years ago to act as a breakwater to keep the Show Circle calm. It also acts as a great place to park and watch the ski show, swim etc.

and drink beer....

So Billy/Byrd, do you know if she is back in town? I'm trying to get a hold of her. Thanks.

I dont think she is, but I will probably see or talk to Zane later today or tonight and I can ask for you.

Byrd - is "Zane" Zane Schwenk (sp?)? if so, i think he's one of the boarders that dave briscoe and i phoned up after some post-lesson partying this summer! bet he loved it, cuz it had to be like 1 or 2 a.m. florida time. we phoned someone back east too; i don't remember who it was though.

I havent seen her yet, last year she didnt get here til late Feb. I just tried to call her but got her answer machine.

Briscoe aka Wet Rooster, and I went Cougar hunting this Fall. I got one with a Muzzleloader.
You gotta love the late night phone calls

Thanks Billy, I appreciate it.

Kylie, yes they are one in the same. I have been riding with Dave this winter as well. He has really helped my riding out a lot!! Dont worry about Zane, he and I have returned that favor to Briscoe a few times as well....

LOL - well give dave a big sloppy kiss for me and tell him to come back this summer and see me! and tell zane, uh, "sorry dude!"

Zane heres that a lot from the ladies.

I'll tell Dave he can expect a big sloppy kiss from you next time he sees you, but that is as far as I'm going...

BTW, See you suckas later...I'm going riding...

Byrd, tell Zane that Poser him he's a boner and to have him call me when he;s in Cali!

Billy, what happened that pic you had of you and your son sitting in the boat and you were both making funny faces? I wanted to show that to my wife and it was gone...

bbr, no problem. I'm going in the am and I'll let him know he's slacking...

Here is one I took today

Here you go Caydeem. I think this is the one you are talking about.

Poser....I will be at the LAX show Feb 1-4...you going to be around?? When are you in FL next?? For those who don't know BadBoyRipper can throw down....good side kick in the evening scene too!!

I know his profile pic is sick...

"Zane heres that a lot from the ladies."

LOL ... sucks to be zane then, doesn't it?!

That is awesome! Thanks! I have to show my wife that, she will get a kick out of it. My son and I are always goofing around and I think she feels I am ruining a good young mind...I am trying to convince her that I am broadening his perspectives. No one likes a boring person. Great picture and thanks again.

Zane, what up man?! Yeah I'll be down there for a couple days. Trying to get to FL sometime in the spring, we'll see. Gonna have to get together here and/or there. Looking forward to it. Late.
