Thanx for the comments guys, I wish I had more opportunities to get out on a boat. Craig has the total setup, but's he a bit far away and I can never seem to find enough time to make a day out of it. Thankfully the cable is close by and never all that crowded.

30, Man does this thread make me feel good. I thought I was the only one over 30 wake boarding. I thought everyone was between 13 and 22. THANK GOD !

27 - I can't do much but I don't exactly push myself hard. I get out there for exercise more than anything. Last year, I dropped 30 lbs during the summer.

15, Its good being young but it sucks when you cant fit into a pair of xxl bindings.

Good luck on the rest of your season Daniel, hope you stay in the sport.

35-knees still feel great after 11 years of wake and 20+ of snow and skate. Riding with younger riders is the best thing to keep pushing my progression.

20... and Baron if by "about to go to school" you mean go away to college don't be so bummed man. First off college is the greatest thing that has happened to me so far and secondly, if you do some searching (wake sites,including this one) I am sure you will find some good people to meet up with that will be more than happy to have you as a third. And of course you can always pretend you miss the units and go home for a weekend and ride...

31 going on 18 (mentally at least). TS/HS FS W2W Grab 180s, HS BS W2W 180 landing wrapped (sometimes), TS Backroll, Indy Grab Tantrum, and almost got the HS Backroll. Been riding off and on for about 10 years now, and only recently did I really start progressing into inverts. I feel way more comfortable behind the boat now than I did when I was 21. I've been surfing and skateboarding since I was 13. My goal is to get at least 4 more inverts (3 TS, 3 HS).

26,
6 180's, 2 360's, Tantrum(ate 2 ACL's), Broll, scarecrow, front roll, elephant, Broll to revert, indy tantrum, switch Brol to revert, switch Broll, raley. Not all consistant but that is everything that I have landed. And as of last month, no more inverts for me, 2nd ACL reconstruction and its not good, doc said it was really nasty. New goal is to get all 8 180's pinned and grabbed.
