Thats the best part. The fact that numerous people said don't do it, he was drinking....

Dennismc · 01-16-2006, 04:35 PM

I have to laugh here, most said Full out the whole way. Besides do most go to the watercross events and yell Retard when they fall in? Or Dont do it man....

Extream is X-Treme! Go all out or dont go at all....

superunknowen1 · 01-16-2006, 04:49 PM

I have to laugh here. Watercross events are not held in freezing water with a thin sheet of ice on them. There is a difference between extreme and retarted and when the DNR are issuing public warnings for nobody to be on the ice due to multiple drownings in the area because of conditions, common. I must say it would have taken me a full case before I would have decided to go for it.

Formula_Canuk · 01-16-2006, 04:52 PM

Actually Dennis, one guy said full out. You would have to be retarded to ride on that thin ice, after drinking, at night.

Dennismc · 01-16-2006, 04:57 PM

Actully the ice On the lake Was FINE , it wasnt thin ice on the channel, it was NO ICE under the bridge, and very little thottle....(that was the problem)

But if I was there, I would have been behind him.

If you think that is retarted, just come water skiing/ or wake boarding this summer with us.... I bet most of you couldnt hang 5 mins out there...

anyway, it was fun, and now looking for snow......

superunknowen1 · 01-16-2006, 05:04 PM

Oh ya, bring your fishing boat and two by fours to the Mississippi some time this summer and we'll show you how things get done on the open water.

Formula_Canuk · 01-16-2006, 05:05 PM

Are you drinking right now? I guess I'm kinda lame because I wouldn't find going through the ice to much fun

You better wake up before one of you dies, and becomes another statistic. BTW am no stranger to water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, and all that crap.

Dennismc · 01-16-2006, 05:07 PM

The channel is like I said, b4, is only 4 feet deep. so drowning there is unlikely.

and if I lived my life by avoiding things that are risky or could make me a statistc, I would never leave the house..

and we dont waterski or wakeboard to have fun, we do it see how long the other can saty on until we throw them off. tube,ski, wakebaord doesnt matter, full speed, whip around, looking for wakes, etc.....

Go Big, or Go home....

Formula_Canuk · 01-16-2006, 05:12 PM

Your one cool guy

Dennismc · 01-16-2006, 05:14 PM

I know, we are, and btw good thing there are no Trees on the lake.....

lol

hey all in fun...
