how many kids are out there

My little girl is 4 and she got up the other day for the first time. Here is a picture of her.

congrats!

i dont know how to work a myspace...

and i know this has nothing to do with wakeboarding, but i just got my new guitar today and im stoked!! its so tite!!

anybody else play any instruments? i play guitar and drums.

haha a little off topic?

guitar and drums

drums are my main thing but anyways.


congrats melody, im trying to get my little 4 year old bro to go. he tried it, got up, then decided he was afraid of the open water. Its impossible to convince him to go in now. I think hes scarred for life ha.

Corey thats awesome that you have gotten your little bro up....tell him not to be afraid of the water go out there with him and show him that there isn't anything to be afraid of. I stayed out there with my little girl until she was comfortable with it and she told me to get back in the boat! Good luck with it and I hope that he doesn't give up that easy.

I rock the electric triangle when I play, I also dabble in the cowbell in my free time.

Nice job getting the little one up! I couldn't get my cousin to try till he was 9 or 10 or however old he is!

whats up im 14 <img>

I landed a couple backroll today for the first time behind our bayliner. I can land them consistently behind the san 220 that I take lessons behind. But I think I did something to my knee. I was hitting double ups and the wake wash over a little at the top which tripped my board and I landed on my side slash stomach. I dont know what happened but I had alot of pain in my knee as soon as that happened. I am thinking about getting a Hyperlite premier board. Has anyone rode it?}

I play guitar (electric) taken lessons for almost a tear, but still not good. I think it is time for inverts for me I will try them this weekend and get some pics.

yo im mike im 14 livin in goshen ct anyone near that???? northeast ct (860)

well...today my pop increased tremendously... getting a lot more height/consistency behind my i/o... it makes a decent wake but its so wide, i only cleared the wake once today and that was at 24mph, and being my first year, i hate falling at 24 mph... i almost landed a switch hs 180 first try

went for my first raley got extension, flipped to my back and POW... i really have no reason to go for a raley, but i got em so great on the trampoline every time that i have to now... i'm gonna try 1 every time i go

concussion here i come!

I was getting huge air this weekend. I was told I was getting a good 2 feet higher than usual. All because I run cross country at school, I guess running doesn't suck any more if it will make me wakeboard better.

nice, i learned how to land wrapped a few weeks ago and holy crap that is fun, i went for a few crow mobes last night, i got soooo close!

but i might have some amazing news but until im sure i can say anything, i wont tell you guys yet, but it has to do with Ronix and their new skate

yo my names grant and im 13 and i was wondering if anyone knows how the obrien 126 vision and the hyperlight state 125 rides......ive been looking at both cus my board dont got much pop....its a cwb surge 125 and its hard to really get hang time for backrolls and such well if uve heard any thing tell me thanks

just blew my knee out yesterday had my MRI today and i have a torn ACL a partly torn miniscus and i chiped a piece of bone off my tibia i gotta wait 2 weeks before i can have reconstructive surgury then i got a whole 4-5 months of rehab after that before i can ride again

Sorry to hear that!!

My 5 year old nephew wants to try wakeboarding? Is there a specific size board he should use?

thanks man hows vick been ridin

She's been hurtin' too. Been ridin' anyway. 2nd. in USA Nats last week, and 4th. in WWA Worlds this week. Not a bad year all in all. Time to take a long break and rehab. You'll see what that's all about shortly!!

haha ya unfortunatly

16, Cashville TN just landed my first BS 3

Just stay with the rehab, don't back off, and you'll be riding strong next spring.

do you know anything about riding with a brace after i get cleared to ride again or is it better to ride without one so i dont become dependent on it

Your doctor and physical therapist will advise on those details. Mostly depends on how well your body responds to the surgery and therapy. Just keep a good attitude and strict therapy regiment, and you'll be fine. Just a long healing process.

Im almost 13, from orlando Fl. And ive been workin on 3's and backrolls

you guys ever have those days where you just cant land anything?

my heel 5's were killing me yesterday

Jennifer, my 6 year old cousin is learning to ride on a 119 O'brien, it's a little big but he will grow into it. Doesn't somebody make a 112 or 115?

uhh i think liquid force makes some small ones, the nemisis or diva

any tips for my toe 3s? I just cant land them!

caleb,
had one of those this afternoon..gotta hate a bad day.

You guys, im not a very religious person, but i need some prayers

i think i might have blown out my knee tonight.

i was going for frontside 3's on the wakeskate and i landed one foot on one foot off.

my knee is bending in weird directions and is very swollen

That sounds painful, hope you are okey.

And I get to go to a lesson tomorrow, wish me luck.

chris, its something that could take me off the water till next summer if its bad enough

wow, hope you heal up! i'll pray for you man

lets hope i don't get a concussion tomorrow, i'm going for a raley again

Taylor aka T-Rock 15 yrs. old

I will pray for you Caleb. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

oach do u think its possible its dislocated??well ill prey for you and hope its not blew out cus i no tht would mess up your rideing for a while

im 14 in LA

wow caleb thats not good at all. Ill pray for you too. hopefully its not as bad as you think.

Man caleb, thats really bad. Hope its not to serious. Mabee it'll just be some minor thing. Well anyways...Good luck and get well soon

thanks guys, ive been wearing a friends brace that he got when he tore his

its feeling better and i can get around the house and up and down stairs alot easier now.

im going to the doctor tuesday so im hoping for good news

cool. hope all goes well. if not go get some new vids to fight off that feeling you get when you cant ride

o ya, that was me earlier, i posted under my dads name..

Caleb, since your sponsered what do you have to do for your shop. Ive been wondering about this alot since read you were sponsered earlier in the post.

well, really all i have to do is help out at boat shows when they need it, go and compete at tournaments and wear their hoodies and shirts on the podium, and obviously send people to the shop and drop good words for them.

and for my sunglass sponser, i put the stickers on the board, wear my sunglasses on the podiums, and recomend them like crazy.

and sometimes its just other stuff like letting people try your board, sunglasses, and alot of products that your sponsers give you and encourage them to get the same stuff from your sponser

Anarchy eyewear is sick

diamond lakes water sports is awesome

Okay, thanks. And good luck again w/ your knee

thanks man,

im getting an MRI this week sometime, so we will know the full extent of the injury this week

Ive been thinkin of getting into wakeskating also and wondered what id need to learn before i start trying shuv its? I can do a bunch of basic flip tricks on a skateboard.

caleb i feel for you hope your knee isnt as messed up as mine

thanks jeff, i hope so too

and david, wakeskating is WAAAYYYYYY harder than it looks.

i came from a skating background and it took me a year to land my first shuv.

caleb i do agree that anarchy is sick my favorite pair of the 2 i've ever had (oakleys is the other...)

yeah dude i love anarchy

ive got a pair of jackels and incernerators and i love them both.

I'm in NY.. I'm 17.. I just started.. soooo I don't have any pix =/ anyone else in NY?

So I took a lesson and I went back to the basic tricks to get a good foundation and consistency. I was never consistent with my HS FS 180s so we worked on those and i am getting consistent with those. TS and HS half-cabs are getting easier, waiting for the height of the jump for TS 180s, and am now holding my grabs and tweaking/poking them out. My progressive edge is getting better and I am more comfortable switch riding.

If anybody hasn't taken lessons I would highly recommend it, it helps a ton.

I almost landed a toe 5!!!!! i had the rotation and the handle but it popped on the landing!!! Even tho i didnt land it i am still STOKED!!!

nice man, who did you take lessons with?


and on that note, anyone in the central arkansas i give lessons!

email me for some at

Yo my names Sam Adams.. Ya my Names a beer!

Hey guys, got my first comp this saturday, wish me luck.

Here is what my run will probably look look like:
HS tail grab tweaked/boned
TS indy
HS indy tweaked/boned
TS 180
HS 180
HS half cab
HS melon
and TS tail if I can get it in

Nice, what division are you riding in, i had almost the same run in my first comp 2 weeks ago.

doc tommorow at 1:30, then ill know everything.


good run chris, switch your first tail grab with your first indy and that should do it

I'm not sure what division probably novice. This is pretty much a solid run except for my half-cab and hs 180s, but I am stoked to compete.

good luck for sure man.

what do you guys think about this run for INT Expert at nationals?

Off Axis stalefish half-cab
tantrum
scarecrow
Melon glide 180
toeside backroll

Toe roll to Revert
heelside 360
switch heel 360
tail grabbed backside 180 (land wrapped)
toeside 540

i gotta get it down so we will see.

and im keeping my skate run under wraps cause im looking for a podium finish at natioinals.

and i have a secret about the wakeskate im going to be riding at nationals, all i can tell you is its a prototype board, and if you wakeskate, your going ot be super jelous

it is the ronix protype isn't it caleb

sorry forgot to introduce myself
16, nor cal

wat does a melon glide look like

parker,

MAYYYBEEEE.......

And jeff, an off axis melon grab

caleb if it is the ronix can u tell me how it rides i really want to demo one when it comes out or the liquid force sst but i am going to wait

I know some stuff about it so far.

It's very unforgiving, but this can be easily fixed by rounding off the edges on the bottom layer of the bi-level, that will make it MUCH more forgiving.

It weighs a tad under 13 pounds, but it feels like a normal deck under your feet, how they pulled that i dont know.

it comes in a 42" or a 44", but each feels about an inch shorter than they really are.

The pop on the board is immaculate, my sponser said that after he demo'd it at radar, he had never had so much pop in his life.

and the board is a mixture of wood and composite, so it has the feel of both.

My Sponser's pro shop manager said that after he rode it, he never wanted to ride another skate again.

this board is very advanced, but its better to grow into a board than out of one


but my personal opinions will come if i get my deck intime.

im guessing your knee is ok now since ur about to be riding again soon

yeah i went to the doctor (hes cool, hes helped me alot before with wake injuries), and he gave me this list of excersizes for my knee, and i have to wear one of those braces for my knee for the rest of the season, he also told me to take it easy for the next 2 weeks.

i feel extremely fortunate, and he said that if my knees werent as strong as they already were, i wouldnt be walking

thanks caleb that is good to hear ur knee is okay

Thats awsome it wasnt something serious like a torn ACL.

I know man, i was so happy, he had this laundry list of stuff i have to do but as long as i can ride.

how many of you guys are going to INT nationals?

Not me, i wanna go next year once if i get some more tricks. Its Florida so i have a full year.

Any one going to the boat show this weekend?
