Roll Call - Kansas City Area Riders

My family and I have had way too much fun on that boat! So far it has been worth every penny. I just talked with Bob at Extreme and I'm looking to do a small sponsorship deal at their grand opening at the new location.

When and where is the new one opening?

It's at the old Supreme Marine location just off of I-35 & 95th street (a couple of blocks north on the frontage road Costco is on). They're open for business, I bought some supplies there a couple of weeks ago. Bob was there with some of the old Supreme staff. This is going to be really, really handy for us Johnson County'ites

they killed my Centurion dealership though!

I am glad for the JoCo location though, that drive to Oak Grove was killer. It took me over an hour from Olathe the last time I went out there.

I am from Fort Scott (about an hour south of Johnson County). Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.
I am not a very good wakeboarder at all but would love to hook up with someone who is just to see if I could learn something

sorry Brad, didnt get back w/ you on my boat, I picked up a Supra Mariah last summer. already has the tower on it. First thing I did to it other than the system. Any ways I've decided that I'm going to the Fools Fest at the cable park. Dont worry, I'll be hitting up the Lawrence stop! See you all soon!!!!!!!!

Great turnout for the midwest. If I came down for a weekend at KC Watersports is there any way I could hook up with anybody for a pull?

Hello everyone. I just found this posting today. Moved to Overland Park last fall and have been wakeboarding for the last 7 years. I just bought a new wetsuit 2 days ago. If anyone is going out this weekend and needs a third, forth or fifth please let me know, i'll help with the gas. I'll be ready to go all weekend. Reply or just email me @ brianjcody@hotmail.com

Thanks

F&&& this weather lets hit the lake anyways... I don't even rememeber what the sun looks like. Can someone post a picture?

The weekends have SUCKED for the last 3 weeks... Watch Monday when I'm wasting away at work it will be like 70 degrees and sunny. I hate this state!

OH SUN WHERE DID YOU GO? I MISS YOU!!!

It looks like it is going to be pretty nice this coming week. I can get off work anytime, family business, but I still working on the stereo and a few other things in my boat.

If anyone wants a pull around at Melvern lake, my boat should be going soon.

Well, look at it this way Brad, at least you're not going to be in the Netherlands for the next couple of weeks where it's colder there than here, and I don't think the sun peeks out very often. While y'all are havin' fun at the cable park next weekend, I'll be enjoying more cold weather. Yay. I still haven't been out even once yet this summer, and it's starting to drive me nuts.

Brad, I agree, F@#$ the weather. Got out thursday to gray skies but very little wind. Had a good time with the boys.

Nice Ken! I think I'm going out tomorrow rain or shine! I've got a new ski to try out!!!

Anyone else?

Generally sunny. High near 60F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph.

BRING IT ON. I plan on getting out! Thursday the water was in the low 50's. May have cooled some, but nice enough.

Sunshine, sweet sunshine! What a nice day!

Hey is anyone going out in the KC area on Tuesday?? Its suppose to be 76 and partly cloudy. Sounds like a great day to start the season with. I can get off work by 4pm.

SKI ??????????

when's the new ride supposed to be here Phil? what colors this year?

Phil, someday we'll teach you. Maybe you can pick it up for when that old body of yours starts to fall apart.

Nice today, wish I didn't have to work!

Not sure on the exact date, but probably before too long. As for colors, I'll have to check with my wife. She is the color picker on the team, that has always been her job. Last year I didn't know what we got until we picked it up.

I can't wait for the day you end up with a pink tower !

I'm lucky, the wife is not a big fan of pink.
Funny thing is I do remember some pink and teal boats in the 80's. Now those were PIMP !

As for skiing, probably not. That was dropped like a dress on a prom date. I'll just surf and drive for the keiki.

Wise man once said "a diverse man is a man of many colors and excitment". Been putting off getting the boat due to weather, but man after today I think its time. Hope all you guys are doing great and we are looking forward to seeing you all this summer. By the way I have seen Phil ski, not pretty. Pretty good wakeboarder though

Hit the lake for the second time this season today! Water was mid 50's, nice and smooth, not too windy!! Boat ran great! Let the season begin...

Mike, quick slackin off and come skiing with us!

I have a roommate with a pink boat I guess. He is a girly man.

Beach and I are headed to LOTO this weekend if anyone wants to stop by.

Its NOT PINK! It just has a pink stripe, and besides it takes a real man to have pink on his boat!!! Besides when it has the best slalom hull ever built it can have whatever color it wants!

LOTO doesn't know whats going to hit it this weekend!

The best slalom hull ever built???? Are you on the right board?????

Thats right Phil! I said slalom, as in the thing you CAN'T do... Surely you remember what people used to do before those darn wakeboard thingies were created!

I thought slalom meant that you just stood on a ski and went back and forth and back and forth...etc? Never heard of nowakeworld.com

(Message edited by kcw on March 29, 2005)

Beach, waterskimag.com called and wants you to come back home.

Us buoyheads have to come over here and share our vast tournament boat knowledge with all you johnny come lately wakeboarders.

I have to disagree on best slalom hull ever. That would probably go to CC's TSC 1. I would give you #2 though right there with the Diamond hull.

Oh, Phil, how's the little guy doing? Got him a board yet? Miss seeing everyone around. My goal is to get out more this year.

Okay time out boys, everyone go to a neutral corner. Remember we all love to spend time on the water regarless if we ski or wakeboard.

Dont make fun of Phil! You've seen me on a slalom ski before, definitely not pretty. Oh and Nick, we're not the Johnny come lately wakeboarders, we just found something better!!!!!!!!!! I love you guys!

(Message edited by logan_adams on March 29, 2005)

OK Girls, some of you take yourselves to seriously !!!

BTW the 2 year old has a board and ask's about every few days to go ride. I'm not sure he is ready.

Boy fellas Kansas roll call is looking a little soft towards the end! Who's going out Saturday for the CABLE TOURNEY? Starts at 4:00 pm Biatches don't be late!

Wow, now I know what happens when skiiers and wakeboarders get together......things get pretty dirty!
What quote did I see one time, oh yeah: "I know a lot of wakeboarders that used to ski, but I don't know any skiiers that used to wakeboard." hehehehe.....

Hey guys its all in good fun, anyone one who loves boating and being in the water is cool to me.

Hey Jamie are you going to the cable park this weekend? Bleich it looks like Carson finally threw some of your video together swishcreative.com

Vid looks nice Bleich---good to see you threw the "front" in there. What about the back mobe you woman? Kidding---sick riding as usual! See ya Sat -BC

Funny, this is the most trash talk I think I've ever seen out of this crew, other than Logan's random swerver comments. All in good fun guys, I love the wakeboarders, they always bring the chicks out!

Not going to make it to the cablepark, going to be at Skiin' Freezin' 8 at LOTO. Already about 60 registered for that event from Iowa, Iowa State, Purdue, Missouri, K-State, KU and some scattered from Miami-Ohio, Cincinnati, etc. Should be a great weekend on the water no matter if you spend it at the cable or at LOTO.

What's up everybody?

Hay Mike, have you talked to Brad Lyon anymore about having a tournament at our little lake in Norborne?

Oh, I also still have some CDs for you with tourney pics on them and some pretty sweet shots of Phil’s old boat.

Matt,

Nice to hear from you. I have been so busy with my real job that I havent had any time to talk to Brad. I am looking for some pictures of last years tournaments for this years mag. If you have some killer shots send them to me and I will put them throughout my magazine. Thats only if you dont mind. Well take care.

There are too many pics to send over the wire. I could snail mail you the cds or leave them at skiers wharf if you were going to be there some time.

here is a sample

more

OK that boat is SWEEEEEETTTT

Hey that guy in Matt's first pic looks familiar?! As for Bleich, I will be at the park this weekend looking forward to one bodacious time. Jen, its like you took the words right out of my mouth! LoL. This weather is awsome by the way!!!!!!!!

Good to see everyone coming out to play!

Phil I'm just messin with ya! You know I love wakeboarders... Their boats have more room to drink in! Plus Logan is also my hero!

Mike - I've got some photos for your book too... I'll email them over...

Logan - is your sister coming to Ski-n-freezin this year? Tell her I'll keep er warm, um I mean that she can stay in my be..d.... I mean room! She can stay in my room.

Smooth Brad but I'm gonna have to let you down. She moved to Tennesseeeeee, she is a musical enterainer now at a show in Pigeonforge. Nice try though. I'm sure there will be other girls that will put up w/ you.

NEWMAN!

Hey Loogs post a pic of your new boat! I want to see this sucka!

Mike I have to see what I have from the Wichita stop. Here's that boat again.

Mike, here is a link to some shots. You can download them from there.

Thanks guys for all your help on the pictures. Matt if you want to give those pictures to Ryan I will make it a point to stop by the shop and get them. Ken I will get some of those pictures off the link you gave me. Beach if you have some send those to me if you can. Thanks again.

Did I say that was a SWEEEEET boat???

OK I'll stop.

And there is Josh, Brandon and Jeremy's girlfriend... errrr?????

Sorry, JM screwed up on that one!

That's Jessie "Chesty" Unruh.

Mosier was never too smooth.

I will get them to him and shoot you an e-mail when they are there.

I think I got those words from you, Logan.
You're my hero
Well, guys I'm sitting in an airport right now in Wichita being bored waiting for our flight. It was supposed to leave yesturday, but got cancelled due to bad weather in Chicago, so we couldn't connect at O'Hare to leave for Amsterdam.
I think this is God telling me not to travel......EVER.
Good thing I packed a fifth of Smirnoff, and my Professor packed a fifth of Wellers!
We're gonna need it. Hehehe

Y'all have fun this weekend! I wish I could be there at the cable park to meet y'all! Tear it up for me!

I love Wellers!!! I didn't know anyone else drank that stuff! Its really good with some sprite or Red Bull!

Get er done Jenn!

Hey Jenn something tells me that you won't need the fifth of Smirnoff or the fifth of Wellers when you get to Amsterdam. Naw mean PANAMA RED!

Whats up everyone. I think I need to get out of the mud we call the Ozarks and hit up some local lakes. Maybe I'll see some of you out this weekend down at Hillsdale. WHY THE @#*& DID THEY NAME THE NEW MARINA AT HILLSDALE JAYHAWK. That's stupid!

Is anyone going to be riding at Hillsdale this weekend? I will be at the cable park but would rather be out in a boat.

They put a marina on Hillsdale? When did that happen? ...and what genius decided to name it after a g@y college mascot?

Sorry Brian, I'll be at KState's tourny in the Ozarks! I feel warm weather coming on!

http://www.jayhawkmarina.com/

Yea, check this out! Looks cool just bad name!

Hey, I havent seen any of you up here at the Warf... where have you been? Come on guys, season's starting.. http://www.skierswharfextreme2.com

As for the Hillsdale marina, the name is based on us KU alumni that helped "pay" for it. It's a concept you State College people may not understand - LOL

Does anyone else think it's bad news bears to have an 80 slip marina on a lake the size of Hillsdale? Oh yea, and I'm sure the gas will be $12/gal at the dock.

Well, I made it to dutch-land in one piece. You think $12/gallon for your boat is bad, they pay $7/gallon for their cars here! All the cars I have seen have been Renault, Saab, Fiat, Peugot, and BMW. However most of the dutch travel by bicycle or by foot. The towns aren't as spread out here, so we have walked everywhere just about. We're not in Amsterdam, we just landed there. We are in a town called Neuwegein. We are planning to go spend the day in Amsterdam tomorrow. There are huge canals everywhere! I should have brought my board!

Only a Jayhawk would be smart enough to put an 80 slip marina on Hillsdale. 90% of the traffic at Hillsdale is probably day traffic within 45 minutes of their JoCo home. Not much reason to have a slip there.

Randy, I though that KU was a state college as well, I guess I missed the part where they were privatized and joined the IVY League. Snob Hill all the way.

Like they say, Jayhawker by birth, Wildcat by the grace of god.

Maybe they named it that because only those snob KU people could actually afford a slip and lift rental. I wonder how well there proshop is going to work out.

GO STATE!!

I like it when the kitties and dirty birds fight

Okay, kids, grow up. It's supposed to be a sports rivalry, not a personal rivalry. Point is we have an 80 slip marina on Hillsdale, it's probably going to work out very nicely, because I know y'all go out there quite a bit regardless of where you live. So appreciate it for what it is no matter who paid for it, enjoy it, be greatful for a chance, and let it go.

They always said, if you can't go to college, go to KU.

Sorry, I have been raised for the last 25 years to despise KU. I got a little kick out of the March to the Arch shirts they had at Dick's Sporting Goods today. Guess it sounded better than 'March to the Sooner State and lose to Bucknell'.

I could really care less about the marina's name and I hope most of you guys know me well enough to know that the wakeboarding and KU bashing is all in good fun.

You all missed out on this butter at LOTO this weekend!

The Six Ball Mafia

I've got a couple more of Mr. Beach, but I don't want to get banned from the site!

Too bad this year, K-State can't even come back with "Well, at least we beat you in football." KU had a 4-7 record this year, I believe K-State had the same record, but we still managed to beat K-State 31-28. And might I add, I think we did beat K-State twice in basketball this year......again.
K-State did not go to a bowl game this year, nor did they go to the tournament.
So, go ahead pussy cats, run away with your tail between your legs, you have now been declawed, because the BIG BAD JAYHAWKS came and beat your a$$ this year in both sports.

But all the love for you guys even though you are "wild"cats.
You are right Nick, it is all in good fun, just as long as we all know the facts.

I really didn't mean to start this. I just thought that maybe they could have come up with a little better name than that. Maybe one a little bit more original. Anyway, I saw it this weekend and it looks really nice. I wish however I could have taken a better look but I had to pull my boat out because it was LEAKING LIKE A MOTHA-F---ER. I guess there is a bad seal around the drive shaft. Go ahead, pee in my cheereos a little more!!!

Wow!!! I look like I had a few drinks in me when you took that photo Nick... The time stamp on that photo must have been around 2am...

The only butter I saw this weekend at LOTO was on my pop tart...

look at the clock behind you...says 10:29. Man, you KState guys are lightweights.
