Where have you been all my life

Hey ******* WHAT UP. This year WILL NOT SUCK. It has been too dang hot and too dang long of a summer. Oh btw in the market for a 136" Camo intense track since I DESTROYED my new track with new picks on the god awful trails last year.

Anyone out boarding on the kankakee or illinois river or anything. I'm out there every weekend. We should do a summer pond skipping meet up or boating or something.

Or whatever I just wanted to say whats up.

... Cough, Cough. (pin drops)


What's up! This heat is honestly killing me. But a hot dry summer must mean a cold wet winter... but I'm guessing that's not my luck.

Something weird about this heat- it makes me spend money on my sled! Got a whole bunch of stuff going into 'er lately.

Those old WaveRunners are bulletproof! $500 is a great deal! I have an 93 WaveBlaster and it bombproof. If you need any help with it let me know!

So i am coming out of hiding!

I was going to buy a 07 mxzx440 with alleged 120 miles on it but dude wouldn't play ball on price and that was in June so i wasn't about to overpay for the thing i have 3 sleds already.

But i DID find a new ride that i felt was worth dropping the cash on.

Its a PLATED lol.. street legal XR650R un-corked. It came in dirt mode with nice excel wheels and DOT knobbies but im looking at 17's and street tires so thats putting a hold up on my sled big bore work for now.

love this thing its amazing. ridiculous power and as far summer goes yes im wakeboarding

This summer for me has been filled with the smell of smokeless powder being burned and sore shoulders every once in a while. I've started doing some of our reloading and it sure does make you think a little longer about dumping a 30 round mag through the AR. It takes a little while to load up 30 rounds and only about 10 seconds to empty them. I have my quad but I really don't even like riding it. Trying to sell it and with the money I'm gonna buy myself a stainless Ruger Super Blackhawk with a 5.5'' barrel. I shot my dad's cousin's Colt .357 and it got me hooked on revolvers. I'm goin with a .44 Mag though. I like going as big as I can go. I LOVE the .460S&W but the two models Smith sells them in are a little pricey for me.

Nice boat Traxxx is that a 351 or what motor/ year of boat... i like..

We used to go into the locks that enter Chicago river at night with my buddies 36ft Scarab twin 454's and hammer down... its no wake at night but when your driving that boat screw it we tore it up many times downtown

Boats are fun but really expensive to store/maintain unless you have alot of leftover cash which i don't.

I love wake-boarding and i also paddle-boarding on a 10ft board for fun but the big XR has my attention currently costing me lost of money. much more excitement factor tho.. and i ALWAYS get injured wakeboading the summer so im gonna chill on that for right now.

We should do a summer Midwest meet-up

Thanks Wildcat. I love it for sure. I got 1800#'s ballast in it. Surfing is fun. And a wake tower from New dimension towers is on the way being shipped on Monday. And you know whats SUP??? I need to get a SUP bad man. I see people doing it in Chicago I wanna try.

I was suggesting a summer meet up. Tie a bunch of boats together have ourselves a redneck yacht club. Besides, sharing sled stories in the middle of summer ... something to be said about that too.
