Going away party in Clinton, MO for local wakeboarder Jon Dunn (he's moving to the big OC). May 21st. $10 gets you in to partake in adult beverages (via multiple kegs), watch some area pros hit kickers and sliders in a gigantic 18ft deep strip pit on the premesis, listen to some crazy good punk rock bands, bmx stunt jumpers, and a place to camp (bring your tent). Skiers Wharf Extreme2 was nice enough to let us use the website to promote it. Visit www.skierswharfextreme2.com/party.html for directions and info. Questions? Call 816-674-9460 ask for Courtney

So, I was the only sober person at the LF Encore movie premier party. And my, the things you intoxicated people were saying and doing. I should have brought a video camera.

Intoxication??? Waht?

Uh, Big-O, I think you had been slightly intoxicated. Actually, Nick was way worse. Wayy. The things people were doing. I just talked to Jaime.. I told him I remembered EVERYthing. I wonder what blackmail money I could get out of you guys.

Just thought everyone should know there is a Severely Amazing Weather Warning in effect for the greater Kansas City area from now until 8:30 PM on Saturday with a chance of really good weather on sunday as well. They are advising you to drop everything you are doing and go wakeboarding. If boat or wind problems occur check your local cable park. More details to come.......

Was out at Hillsdale last night. Weather was great, nobody there except for two jerks on wetbikes following me around to jump my wake. Water is warming up nicely. There was an orange X-Star out there I hadn't seen before. Is the driver online or do you guys know who that is?

Did it have a huge Stereo in it? X2? Or XStar?

(rschrock) · (rschrock) **Join Date: May 2004** 05-27-2005, 7:51 PM

It was an orange XStar. Not sure about the "huge stereo" as I never heard it. It did have four can's on the tower. No big, was just curious.

(bbeach) · (bbeach) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 05-31-2005, 10:51 AM

Sounds like Playground Magazine's old boat...

I have playground's old boat!

(rkinsell) · (rkinsell) **Join Date: May 2005** 05-31-2005, 5:36 PM

hey just moved in to Kansas City from chicago and would like to meet some local wakeboarders. I work in Lawrence and just wanted to get some information about where everyone rides

(bbeach) · (bbeach) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 06-01-2005, 8:20 AM

John that boat is pimp! Does it still have the Kicker system in it?

rkinsell - You might want to hook with Matt Ostermeyer... He rides at Clinton and lives in Lawrence... He has a tige and loves to ride all the time. He's on this board.

Good luck.

(kstateskier) · (kstateskier) **Join Date: May 2002** 06-01-2005, 8:51 AM

John and Brad, I think you guys are talking about different playground boats, because I think your boat is red, correct John? I think it is the '02 Playground boat that Brad is talking about. It would have been an X-Star and not an X-2.

(wildcatx2) · (wildcatx2) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 06-01-2005, 11:39 AM

I'm not sure! All I know is that I have a Red 03 and when I saw it at Xtreme it had playground stickers on it. No, it doesn't have the kicker equipment on it but I recently put some Sony Xplodes on the tower.

(kstateskier) · (kstateskier) **Join Date: May 2002** 06-01-2005, 11:44 AM

Maybe you have their '03 boat. We really need to get together a little K-State Alum/Wakeworld member get together on the lake.

(wildcatx2) · (wildcatx2) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 06-01-2005, 11:56 AM

I second the alum get together! Did you guys all Ski for the team when you where in school?

(kstateskier) · (kstateskier) **Join Date: May 2002** 06-01-2005, 12:14 PM

Yeah, Brad and I both did. Brad skied from '97 to '99 or so I think. I skied from '98 to '02. My brother also skied there from '02 to '05.

(rkinsell) · (rkinsell) **Join Date: May 2005** 06-01-2005, 3:46 PM

anyone going to lake of the ozarks for that contest this weekend?

Matt Ostermeyer let me know if we can hook up for a pull I'm dyin here not being on the water

Just got back from Florida and it did storm the whole time. I was at The Wakeboard Camp and it was a great time. I learned a ton of stuff and everyone was really cool. Arron Reed, Kyle Schmidt and Benny G were there alot of the time and it was cool see them ride. I saw Arron land his first wake to wake backside big spin on his wakeskate(hs bs 180 while board does a 360). I also went to that Midwestcoast Summerfest this last weekend. It was kind of fun but the water was almost unridable and it was really hard to do stuff.

(matt_ostmeyer) · (matt_ostmeyer) **Join Date: Mar 2003** 06-06-2005, 9:52 PM

Ryan (Michael???) Havn't checked in here for a while... sorry for the no post... I'm back at home during the summer in KC, but still make it out to Clinton and Lawrence from time to time... We ride at hillsdale in the mornings a lot to beat the wallies out, but with a south wind, nothing beats Clinton. Hit me up sometime, I'll give you a pull... 913 908-8081

corkyswx2 06-07-2005, 12:56 PM

So I face planted at the Cable park on the No Fear box the other day- Matt Ostmeyer was on the cable behind me and saw the whole thing- I think I bruised a rib and did something to my collarbone. Either that or I'm a wuss. Maybe both. I'm not feeling so hot now. It didn't really feel so bad then- just a bruised knee... and a rather hurt ego (hey I got up and did it perfect the next lap around!)I guess the only way to get over the ouchies is to go out and do it again. Maybe tomorrow. One more day of recuperating..

hyperchick05 06-07-2005, 4:06 PM

Wow, that sucks Courtney, good thing Matt was there to save the day

I think I'm going to hit Texas Ski Ranch while I'm down here, it's 37 minutes from where I am in San Antonio!!!!

(kstateskier) · (kstateskier) **Join Date: May 2002** 06-07-2005, 8:18 PM

Jenn,

Definately hit TSR. I've been down there twice and the place rocks!

I'm hoping to beat out the storms tomorrow. We're getting out about 9 for a whole day of action I think. Got to love the warm weather, but it's starting to feel like monsoon season around here.

Was driving home from the lake on Saturday night on the Turnpike and got hit by probably the hardest rain I have ever seen. I guess it just gives us more water to ride on!

(airfreak) · (airfreak) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 06-08-2005, 5:37 AM

Jenn, what's up? Let me know when you're getting back in town. You missed some nice water the other night.

corkyswx2 06-08-2005, 8:18 AM

Jenn- Matt didnt exactly save the day. He just kept on riding, I think his words were when he went by me, "Dude, is your face okay?" LOL. At least Earl volunteered to carry my board (even though he didnt need to) and CoCo had ice ready (even though I didnt need it). Have fun at TSR I have yet to ride there.

hyperchick05 06-08-2005, 9:37 AM

WOW, look what happens, I don't post for awhile, and then BOOM.

Well, Courtney, I'm glad you're okay.....that sucks you bit it at the end. "Dude, is your face okay," Haha classic Matt line.

We're all going to have to get together and do some riding when I get back. I'm planning on being in the Lawrence/Overland Park area next weekend so maybe we can all get together to ride.

Oh, and I'm going to demo a board at TSR while I'm down here and I want to try out a Liquid Force board, which one do you think I should try out? I was thinking about the Balance board.

corkyswx2 06-08-2005, 12:48 PM

Uh, well I'd say an angel or team, but they wouldnt be the greastest park board. I dunno try the balance. Might be fun.

(kstateskier) · (kstateskier) **Join Date: May 2002** 06-09-2005, 1:15 PM

Went out yesterday, the water was perfect. I've got a bunch of pics of the conditions, it was perfect after about 1 when the wind went down. Hope you guys are getting out some as well.

corkyswx2 06-14-2005, 1:07 PM

Is it just me, or does it seem too early for the first round of INT to be this weekend? I've hardly rode behind the boat at all this season. I'm almost questioning whether I'm going to ride it- I don't feel at all ready and I was considering moving up a class. Does any one else feel the same??

(kstateskier) · (kstateskier) **Join Date: May 2002** 06-14-2005, 1:24 PM

I think it seems late, but I've been on the water since early March and have been getting out about 3 times a week lately. Can't make the INT though with work, so that sucks!

Hey all, I'll be up in Manhattan next week (22-25) and would like to catch a few pulls. I'll have my gear and $$. Any of you K-state alumni want to hook up a KU Alum?! :-)

I dount I will be in the Manhattan area next week, but just in case, give me a call at 785-341-1681, maybe we can hook up for a little riding. Of the top of my head, I can't think of anybody that is in Manhattan with a boat this summer, most are spending the summer at Table Rock.

I just moved out to Manhattan, and I am hoping to take my boat out this weekend for the first time this summer, I'm crossing my fingers that everything works! Any suggestions on where to launch and were to wakeboard? I have heard Tuttle can be hard on props.

(matt_h) · (matt_h) **Join Date: Jun 2002** 06-16-2005, 11:39 AM

Courtney, this should make you feel better about the falling at the park.

corkyswx2 06-16-2005, 11:44 AM

that looks intentional

(matt_h) · (matt_h) **Join Date: Jun 2002** 06-16-2005, 11:49 AM

Be sure to show ryan.

(kstateskier) · (kstateskier) **Join Date: May 2002** 06-16-2005, 11:58 AM

Tex, launch out of Big Dawg Marina in Tuttle Creek State Park. Either take the highway across the dam or come up Rocky Ford road and get to Spillway Marina Drive. Take a left on Spillway Marina Dr. if you have come across the dam and follow it back all the way into the marina. The launch is around the bend from the Marina. I'll give you a quick guide to Tuttle that should keep you out of trouble.

From Big Dawg your best riding during the summer will either be to the south toward the dam or just to the right of the marina cove in the big cove to the north. Both of these areas are pretty deep and shouldn't cause any problems, though watch out if you get deep in the cove to the north of the marina. My suggestion is to stay south of the marina and if you do venture north stay to the east side of the lake. Even from the dam, the west side of the lake is dangerous with a lot of trees and the surface of the water. The dam should provide good protection from the south wind. If you are in to slalom, the K-State Ski Team maintains a course in Stockdale cove to the northwest of the marina (first large cove NW of marina, about 3 miles by water). The cove is shallow back where the course is so watch out. If you have any questions, give me a call on my cell at 785-341-1681.

Dtb,

What Mile Marker are you at? That really looks like my cove on the 80. You must have gotten up pretty early to get water like that!

(dtb) · (dtb) **Join Date: May 2002** 06-21-2005, 4:40 AM

we're at the 45 mm. that was about 7:30 in the am. it's hard to convince my friends that it's worth it to get up so early, until we get out there and the water looks like this.

i've never been all the way up to the 80 mm, i'll bet there's some good water up there.

seeing lots more wakeboard boats out at loto this year....

(jamie_lamar) · (jamie_lamar) **Join Date: Mar 2004** 06-21-2005, 8:35 AM

Dtb and Jamie,

We are at the 41 at loto. Our cove is great, its alcorn hollow, but we have tons of boats come in the back and anchor. Would it be worth getting up early and driving up the lake past the 50mm to ride in the morning?
Also what boats are both of you?

(dtb) · (dtb) **Join Date: May 2002** 06-22-2005, 6:39 AM

hey kj, i posted in the other thread, pretty sure i know which boat you are. we ride in that cove all the time. i am the black and tan malibu wakesetter. if you are the blue tige that lives in there we saw you last weekend.

joeyhoflander 06-22-2005, 7:58 AM

hey i rode in int last weekend and sucked...need to ride more than just on the weekends at the ozarks. i live in higginsville which is like 25 mins from blue springs..is there anyone in the area that i can ride with??? i'll help pay for gas without a doubt.

This just in- Matt Osty, with his knees to his ears like a guy who stole some kid's tricycle got SCHOOLED by a girl (*me!*) at Saddlers Indoor NASCART in Olathe Sunday night. Congrats to Katy, Rachel, Liz and Nicole for running with the big guy and the other males consistenly in a 15 minute moto, thus proving that not only can we wakeboard, we can cruise on go-karts!
ALSO... my little bro ran sub-31 second lap times, beating the days' track record by two seconds, followed about 1.5 seconds/lap by KC Watersports's own Moby lovin' B-Rad.
Good job guys! We HAVE to do that again. And for all who missed out- well you missed out and need to join us next time.

Phil/Mike, anything going on this weekend? I'm off Fri/Sat/Mon, but don't really think I'll make it to Table Rock, so I'm thinking about getting out in the area.

Anybody going to be at Table Rock the 9th to the 16th? We'll be there all week.

(michael_riffle)

Nick, I am going to my parents house at Lake Of The Ozarks, so no local riding. Joey if you are down there I will have my black and white Super Air, so flag me down. I know that I should be going down to Hooligans Bay one of those days or maybe both. If you are up around the 49 look me up. We are on the main chanel between Red Fox and Plain Janes. Later.

mike and jamie, i am usually at the 45 mm on the weekends, that's where our place is, need to meet up and ride sometime maybe the weekend after the 4th if you'll be down.
