New Jersey Riders 2007

Pics came out nice Woody.

Alex, nice pics! That lake out west looks beautiful.

Even though the Delaware river has grown in popularity with the wakeboarding crowd, it's nice to have so many with the same common interest who respect each others space on the water. I believe we are starting to seriously out-number some others, which is a good thing.

Now if we can just educate the clueless ones out there about power-turns, the world would be a much better place.

Any riders on Saturday?

"Now if we can just educate the clueless ones out there about power-turns"

You aint kidding. We were out tonight and at first the water was a real sheet of glass without a single ripple in it. Then around 5:30 some boats came out to wakeboard and what a pack of power turning jackass's. All in all it was a great day with a few big crashes and head hits. We also introduced another guy to wakeboarding.

Hey Jim we were out tonight also. We rode up by Bordertown and did not see anyone out. We rode mostly right off florence dock. I thought the conditions were a little bad.

that is pretty cool that lyman and amber were there filming in our river..

i've been watching PULL (thru 13 episodes) and lyman just goes HUGE in every pass. incredible rider. were they actually filming for Push Process, or were they just riding?? i don't see any camera equipment...

amber's necklace is a wakeboard handle, that's pretty tight!

George, we were up by the powerplant. I think we got out of the water at about 7. The conditions at 2 were epic though, awesome. Then the wind picked up and we had periods of glass and chop. All in all, I thought we had really good conditions.

Justin, they were definitely filming on tuesday when we saw them, I assume wednesday also. Some of the time the camera crew was in the chase boat which was lines-end wakeboard school's nautique. Their plan was to ride the Hudson river on thursday to get some shots with the statue of liberty in the background.

Will be cool to see the video with the Bordentown area and other NJ locations in it.

Wish I could've made it out w/ you guys today Alex, it looks like perfect weather! NExt time, for sure!
Had a great time yesterday though. Was great meeting new some new people and gettin in the water. Thanks again Dave!

Well, we were up early on Saturday, and we met Justin & Michele at the Bordentown ramp at 6:00am.
But since it was so ridiculously windy and because we had to pull-out by 10:00am anyway, we didn't even
bother to launch. We ultimately ended-up cruising down to Avalon to ride and hang with Karen, Kevin
and Doug. Connor was riding hard and ended-up taking a scary hard fall, but over-all it was great to
be back at The Shoe. A thousand thanks yous, with extra cheese, to Kevin & Karen.

While on the water in Avalon I got a call from Ryan at San Bar inviting me up to the Gerry Nunn clinic, but
with the clinics being on Monday and Tuesday, regretably, I had to pass on what I'm sure would have been
a good time.

Anyone planning on goin out Fri afternoon or sat am??

Heres a couple pics from last week.

and fwiw,
I have no idea how the hell to post pics w/o using the sites uploader....

we went out saturday and braved the wind. We rode up by the manor and had a decent run. We were done by noon.

Not sure how the river is going to be with all the rain we have been getting. It was nice not having to worry about floating objects.

Damn I'm a sexy nurse.

Chris, Photoshop 7.0. I'll give you a copy.

Hey Jersey Crew!
I've been in the midst of zig zagging myself all over the county for work over the last three weeks and while it has been fun, it also kept me out of boats. No Fun.

I just got back home Monday and was crossing my fingers to ride but Ma Nature didn't hook it up.

So now I've my eye on riding at Worlds since June and I;m going in with not as much boat time as I'd hope. But then again, it would have been way less if people here didn't graciously hook me up: Alex,Dorreen, Connor, Brian, Dave and Kyle, Doug, Charles, Ryan Sorensam, Kevin and Karen, Justin and Michelle Jim Mariani and Tim from Glyde all helped me get my fever stoke for riding more satisfied than it's ever been.

I'm off to Reno to rep for our Jersey Riders crew at the worlds contest. I hope I do well so I can share the stoke with our posse! And if I don't, then I blew it and we should never discuss it again!

Go get 'em JB. I'd wish you luck, but since luck is where preparation meets opportunity, you already have
all the "luck" you need for success. Are you going to the Reno Transgression premiere on Friday night?
If so, I'd be much obliged if you'd pass-along my regards to Ronn, Dorothee, Randall, Matt Manzari
and the Sidewayz gals Elanna, Emily and Angel.
And while you're rollin' in Reno, a good chunk of us will
be rippin' up Raystown. http://www.raystownresort.com/fun.htm Then following Raystown
it will be a week of relaxation at 60 Sylvia, including some mid-week tows to Bordentown.

Good Luck JB! Keep us posted on how things are going.

As for the cwb binding issue, I heard back from them and as I expected, they're sending me out a new heal wrap CWB definitely rocks when it comes to customer service. Its things like this that keep you going back to a certain company Looking forward to riding with a tight left binding again soon

Any riders in Btown this weekend? Looking for a crew.

We are planning on going out Saturday morning with the family. Maybe we will see you out there.

Anyone going out Sunday morning?

I can put my boat in on sunday morning, if we get three...Dave M, me, anyone else? Can start as early as necessary.

Cant go out any more tomorrow, have to run up to vermont. You guys will probably see me down there more often now. Start fire school next week which is all day Sat and I am not going to drive up to Wallenpaupack for 2 hours of good water.

hey whats up everyone been kinda out of the loop lately anyone goin out and needs a rider let me no

I actually live in Bordentown and can be available with short notice. Thanks!!

-ej

Any Bordentown action planned for this holiday weekend? Have board will travel

I can only imagine the rivers gonna be packed during the holiday weekend. Water might be good around 6am, haha.

Just wanted to make a shout out to Brian(eustace) who is going in for surgery tomorrow morning to mend a fractured Fibula. Best of luck man, were thinking of ya! Get better soon!

KG

Good luck Brian. What happened to Brian?

I am looking to put my supra in at Btown this weekend in the morning...any interested riders?

Good luck with operation! I guess you are getting the work done at Doylestown? I had my leg done there years ago with a Dr Whitaker and he was great.

I will go out each day, if I have the riders...sat,sun,and mon

Good luck with the operation, Eustace! Total bummer that your injury is that severe, but I know you'll pull through and heal-up in record time.

ouch... that is one of those injuries that scares me b/c I cant even imagine how bad it must hurt when it happens! Get better soon bro!

On a side note... had a good session tonight! Water was similar to that of something on deadliest catch at times, but did locate some good water.. which btw is cooling down quickly imo, haha. I'm definitely NOT ready for winter!!!
Got a new trick down, ... olie backside 180... or whatever you wanna call it Always fun to learn something new. Now if I can just start learning ts w2w's!!!
Jim, let me know when Moes face gets feeling back from those faceplants, lol.

Ryan' what time are you going out Sunday morning? Call my cell today because I'm out of state all day today. If I get back early enough tonight I'll come ride with you tomorrow. 609-280-5195.

Anyone want to ride monday? I'll be back from MD sunday night and could give some pulls monday.
Call my cell.

hmmm, might be interested depending what time you go out dave. I might be able to sneak in a few hours if you do mid day.

Hey Everyone! Thanks so much for the well whishes.. Surgery went well in by 8am and home by 2 and I’m feeling good all things considered.

For those of you who don’t know the details, I came up a bit short on TS 180 and broke my fibula about an inch above the ankle. At the time it really didn’t seem like much more then a sprain but the x-rays proved different.

Thanks again, Brian, aka: Eustace,,,,,, ska: B-Rad ha ha ha!

I want to go Sun and Mon morning...can start as early as 7 AM...email me if interested

Hope you get well soon B.

Look at the bright side, at least the season is almost over.

Eustace, glad to hear the surgery went well. How long will you be out of work, and I assume wakeboarding will be out of the question until next spring? If you need any help later with boat winterizing let me know.

Ryan, I'll be at Bordentown ramp around 8am monday with my boat, so I'll count you in.

Oh, and it looks like Ryan got the 1000th post!

see you monday at 8

Thanks Dave,

I’ll have a better idea of what my rehab timeline is on Sept 10th.

As for work, I plan on going back this Tuesday, so I’ve only really missed two days.

Eustace, I'm very sorry to hear about the end of your summer. Glad to see your ok and in good spirits. Like Dave said if I can help in any way just ask.

1000+ posts...NICE!

Looking to board on Sat and Sun at 8 AM this week...need riders

hey ryan im down for ridin sat. if you got room!

Ryan, Im good for sat and maybe even sunday bro. Still have some room?

Ryan: Low tide this Saturday is at 8:16am and on Sunday it's at 9:08am. When pulling-out I put at least an
hour-and-a-half to two hours between me and low tide. Launching is a bit more forgiving, but still dicey.
Something to think about.

you goin out at all this wknd alex?

We have to go to a wedding on Saturday, so we've been tossing-around the idea of going out Sunday, but
the current weather forecast for Sunday is not good. So for now we're in a wait-and-see position.

Alex - if you go out Sunday and need ballast let me know!

Ryan any update for Sat??

On a side note, let me know if any of you guys are interested in picking up some collinite wax for the boats. Dave, I know I went over this stuff with you when we were out last. But for anyone else, collinite makes some killer waxes. I use them on all of my winter details and any time I know a vehicle is going to be in less than optimal conditions if its driven every day. Very durable, quality waxes. I'm placing another order with them this upcoming week and can throw a case of their fiberglass boat wax on there if anyones interested. I can order anything off their site really, just dont want to sit on the marine specific stuff (ie: fiberglass cleaner, wax, marine wax, etc) I'd need to get rid of the whole case to you guys though, so I'd need to dump all 12 pints. I'll obviously discount it heavily for you guys. Should come in at 12-13 a bottle. Lemme know..

We went out today,Sunday. The weather was great and hardly any boat traffic. We started at 9 and ended at 3. We saw Alex and Papa Lef out on the water. I am sad to say this was probably the last really warm day. I looked at the extended forcast next week looks like rain coming.

Hollar-

First weekend not spending time on a boat since at least the end of may and it was sort of weird and i did not like it one bit, even if i can't ride anymore i wish i was on the water.

I am glad to hear George, Alex, and Pops got out on the water. i spent my time studying and celebrating my mothers birthday. i am going to hope that george was wrong in his prediction for the end of warm weather. Eitherway haven't checked in a while, so i figured would.

Anybody have anything new going on, where you at Jim, Jeff, Johan, anybody else. B-rad you find that pocket yet. Justin whats new?

Doug

hey doug whats up! ive been kinda out of ridin for awhile, i went home, then my kid came to visit me 4 2 weeks then a buddy from flordia came up to chill, then ive been doin alot of training at work for jan. but im tryin to get out with jim but im workin days from 630 to 630 so its hard.

Doug
What's up man? Everythings cool here. Been working my tail off at work sucking up overtime. I've been lucky enough to catch some really nice days on the water during the week when no ones out there. Summer might be over but riding season lives on. I'll be out this week again while everyones at work.

We need an end of the year ride and raft up in the next week or two.

Hey Doug! You're always welcome on the X-star anytime........but....can't ride anymore??? What's up with that? Please explain.

George, hope it stays warm for a bit longer, even if we do need rain badly. Drove past the river at 11am today.........glass!

Looks like people have been busy, that is a good thing i guess,

i am jealous of Jim getting all the good water every week.

Johan whats is going on in January that you are training for??

Dave I had an MRI and found out that I chipped a bone in my foot, fractured another part of the bone, and have a torn ligament as well. Doc's got me in a boot until October to see if it can heal itself, however there is a pretty good chance of me going the route that brian took. Oh well.

Doug
Sorry to hear about your foot. Was it done boarding? I wish you a speedy recovery and hope that your 100% for the spring.

Anyone want to ride tomorrow, I'll be on the river starting at 1:30pm. Give me a call on my cell or email me if you want to ride.

Well now it looks like we are starting at 11 am instead if anyone wants to ride.

i got combat training goin on im goin to the desert early jan.

jim, hey i dont think im gona make it tomarrow? im gona try but depends if your still out when i get out of training. but ill be callin you soon as im done! hope i can atleast get one last ride in b4 i cant anymore, i got this fri. sat. sun. off if anyone gots room?

Hey all,
Haven't posted in a while, but I was bored at work today so reviewed some stats and have determined the following...

I put nearly 150hours on the boat this summer over 16 weekends
about 9.3 hours per weekend
about 4.5 hours per day (sat/sun)
about 15 gallons of fuel per day
about 30 gallons of fuel per weekend
about 480 gallons of fuel for the summer
about $2.85/gallon
about $1365.00 in fuel
I guess you could say we did a little riding!

So how is everyone? Looks like the river is hopping!

For the most part the river was bad today except for the piece of flat water we found on the Philly side just south of the steel mill. We ran down that whole right side and the water was awesome.The water is still warm.

KG I wish I only burned 15 gallons a trip. With 4 people and about 5 hours on the river I'll burn 20 to 25 gallons easy.

On another note I ran into Dooreens friend today. The guy that has that little Seadoo fakeboard boat just bought a black and white Malibu. Looks like a 20 footer. Still power turning all over the river as always. New boat same bad driving.
I should be off next Tuesday, Wed. and Thursday and riding maybe 2 of those days if anyone is looking to ride. I'll keep you posted on the days.

I think we put about 75 hours on our boat this year. We usually use about 15 gallons per trip.

Jim, Did you wave to my friend "Doreen" style?

So this year we had a few major injuries which landed our guys in the hospital. Brian, Alex, and Doug.
It's that hard core riding to excel to the next level!
Alex has pretty much healed, hopefully Brian and Doug will be ready in time for some dry suit action!

Doreen-
Given the bill i just got from the doctors, and what I did all summer, I don't think it would be a good idea to stop now, call me stupid but it is not winter yet.

KG I wish I only burned 15 gallons a trip. With 4 people and about 5 hours on the river I'll burn 20 to 25 gallons easy. Efficiency Jimbo, heavily weighted efficiency...plus we didn't fall much!
Actually as I thought about it more, I ran more weight in the boat this summer then any previous summer. Ultimately we are running 1500-1700lbs depending on the fuel level, plus people (3-5). I guess the constant cruising is what really helped. I dunno, must be doing something right!

With the off-season fast approaching, we're trying to jam-in as much boat time as possible before it gets
too cold. We're watching this Saturday's weather closely and we may take a shot at hauling to Bordentown.
With low tide at around 1:15pm we can launch as late as 11:15/11:30 and still be ok. Hopefully the morning
rain will have ended by then and hopefully there won't be too much river debris. My knee is still a little
jacked-up from last weekend, but I should be good to go again by Saturday.

Jim's right. We should try to get everyone and all boats out again one more time before the season ends.
Probably the sooner the better too. Anyone have any dates in mind? I have to check my Saturday work schedule.

Wow, all boats??
Alex, Kevin, Brian, Dave, Jim B, George, Woody, Ryan, did I miss anyone?

Alex this Sat is to short notice for me because I'm already going into work in a few hours for 4 straight over nighters. The 10 day shows next Sunday to be sunny and 80. Maybe a good day for a last get together.

I can try to take off next Saturday from work. Would be cool to have one last group session

Lets do it before the temps drop out the bottom. We could launch early and then do a lunch raft up in the cove or just outside the channel depending on the water conditions and boat traffic.

huh? I don't think he know about the blastmasters...

Dave Williams...Moderators...Please kill Tim Cameron's post!
