I've been riding for almost 8 years. I have a house on the northern part of Occonee and the water is super shallow, so I rode for my first 6-7 years behind sea-doos and our sea-doo jet boat. I started dating a girl (now my fiance) who has a Crownline I/O on Lake Martin in Alabama about 2 years ago and that was when I actually started jumping and trying tricks. This season is the first year I'm really trying to get serious with my riding and progress to inverts and spins (beyond 180). I built up some bad habits over the last 7 years but I'm trying to fix them with "The Book" and riding with some guys that are more advanced than myself.
Lanier and Allatoona are both pretty close to the house I grew up in (Marietta, GA) but I'm living in Auburn, Al now...only a few minutes from L. Martin. I'm down for ridin' in ATL though so if you don't mind my fiance and I tagging along send me a PM and we'll come ride and pitch in on gas $$
I see you are into 4x4's...I built jeeps and 70's-80's model Chevy for rockcrawling for about 5 years so I'm sure we could find something in common
