[SnowRida]

What date will you's have your boat's in the water?

[PolarisINDY500]

me and my dad will put our boat in around the beginning/middle of may

-96 four winns-

302 v8

Yeah. Around May we usually get a couple of the boats in. Generally the ice goes out on my lake about the first week of May. By the 3rd week we usually get the drysuit out and hit up the wakeboards and waterskis. Not too far off.

beginning of May, and if I'm lucky, the end of April.....It all depends how cold I want to get putting the track and dock in

Should have had the Shooter / trolling boat in already. If I wasn't so lazy. Lots of people out on Tawas Bay / Saginaw Bay fishing a couple of weekends ago. They were trolling right up to the edge of the remaining ice where they were standing a few weeks prior.

May Long Weekend will be first launch, and if i can build up the guts i'll do some kneeboarding, you see, i have no wet suit lol.
I just love driving our boat, its just like driving a big seadoo. Its a 1997 Seadoo Jet Boat with a Single 110HP engine. Lol looks just like a Skidoo engine, basically is. Its a riot. Can't wait.

i used to keeboard, but it got to hard on my knees/legs

since then ive changed over to one ski ..imo nothing beats solomning and pushing up that big rooster tail on your carve!

but, tubing is fun as well..my dad practically kills us when we are on our tubes. we have two one person tubes and a double toube. when we get 4 ppl behind our boat its crazy...bodies start flying all over the place.

i prefer to sit in my one person backwards, this way i seem to get the most lift from the waves, and i have no idea when their comming

[Cazwell]

ya tubing is pretty awesome, I can get some pretty good air on my kneeboard, but it does get hard on the knees/legs after a while, i want to try wakeboarding this summer.

[PolarisINDY500]

id love to try wakeboarding, but i dont know anyone who would let me borrow one/learn on it

[Cazwell]

same problem but the marina was thinking of getting one this year so i'll see about that one....

[PolarisINDY500]

one thing that i always thought was cool was the air chair



i would like to try that as well

[SnowRida]

They just keep kummin out with different things all the time. I don't know if I want to show my kids that one. Their tear'in it up now on their dirt bikes, and my wife is goin crazy. Or maybe I shouldn't show my wife. she might loo--oose her red top.
Looks like fun, although I am recovering from a 3 place broken leg,
(last april) and just lookin at that air chair makes my middle leg hurt. If you try it let me know how it works.

[PolarisINDY500]

yeah, if i do try it ill let ya know...the only thing that id be worried about would be going head over heals (endo)

i got into a dirt bike accident a year and a half ago, this is what happened: broke my radius and ulna (wrist) and both bones were sticking out...dislocated my hip...fractured my femur and patella... over 300 stiches, and 7 surgeries...

Holy **** man, any lasting effects? or are you as good as new now?

Hope your okay.

[PolarisINDY500]

well, im going to physical therapy right now...and at the rate of recovery, ill prolly be goin to p.t. for about 2 yrs.

i have limited movement in my wrist. i cant really move or rotate it... over this past summer i had one of two metal plates removed ( i still have one in)...im expected to gain about 60-70% mobility back in my wrist...as of now, i can move it about 10%

as of right now my hip and legs are back 100%

the accident was so severe that i had two bone graphs, and one stem cell...b/c it was so bad i had a the plates in my wrist for about a year before the one came out. i have an x ray of my wirst that i have on my computer, if i get it back from rns ill show it to ya...

my friends call me the bi-onic man (sp) haha



but the good news...i rode my sled this winter, after missing last season good thing is, even tho i cant really move it, im not limited to what i can do...(w/ the exception of weight lifting and other extreme sports that require putting force on my wirst)..so i can still work, drive, have sex w/ my girlfriend, s_hit like that

What were you doin to get in this type of accident?

[smallengineguy]

That's nasty! I've crashed a bunch of times, but luckily never broken anything except my sled. Hope everything works out for you.

[SnowRida]
