    Riding critique - 360 flat spin / getting more inverted

    Listen to @SmittySX ; from my perspective as a non-freestyle guy but loves waves and freeriding flatspins are the best trick. It shows control because you aren't going upside down. Upside down stuff all starts the same way but flat spins are different. To do it clean you need to stay flat...

    Question for the ski retirees

    @Pro-pulsion years ago the local talk radio guy had a 45 footer that kicked up a big wave. By chance a buddy and I saw him idling in to a river mouth and he sped back up to trawl and kicked us up a big wake. I wrote in an email and they mentioned us on the air for like a minute. That's my 47...

    Question for the ski retirees

    A lot of guys want to do freestyle and buy all the expensive equipment you need to do it, then get surprised that it's not just "easy mode" from there on out like hitting the throttle makes you do combos. Then they realize those high end drivelines need routine rebuilds and things break, and the...

    My ski's were stolen.

    This will probably wrap it up, becauase I got my stuff back and I'm tired of dealing with it. Apperently this might be the fault of the storage place. Its come out that the skis werent in the rental file along with the boat, so an employee's negligence in failing to update the file may very well...

    My ski's were stolen.

    I couldn't live with myself if I sold known junk as good. I don't know how people like that can look themselves in the mirror. The mind tricks you'd have to play on yourself would eat me alive. I can be a total ass and I'm not perfect by any means, but I could never f* someone over by selling...

    My ski's were stolen.

    Guy_A is getting my chinpad back to me. He seems like an ok dude that got caught in the middle more and more. This other guy is a total thief though. I hope the prosecutor decides to press charges. I'll probably dox his business out of spite too. Maybe. I'm trying to be a better person but I...

    My ski's were stolen.

    Well i got the trailer back. They screwed up my wheels and put cheap ones on. Looks like they drove it flat. My license plate is gone. And my bunks and overal set up was chanded so i gotta reset everything. This son of a b*tch had the nerve to ask me if he could buy the trailer from me on...

    My ski's were stolen.

    I played it cool with him so I could get my skis, and he admitted something felt off about the whole exchange with guy_B. But guy_A's reasoning was maybe he was just getting lucky because when he saw what was under the hood of the black ski he said "holy f*". Talk is cheap and knowing he knew...

    My ski's were stolen.

    Yeah, i gotta figure something else out. Thought they were safe in a locked gate with cameras. They were fine for two years. But what good are gate codes when people give them out. And what good are cameras that delete footage after a few weeks.

    My ski's were stolen.

    Yeah, I'm pressing charges if anyone gets arrested. I'll post the full story once I hear from the police today. But for now, what I know is this: I get a call last night from a guy I know, but did not have his number anymore. He knew the guy that ended up with the skis. We'll call him guy_A...

    My ski's were stolen.

    That's what I'm hoping for at least. No one around this area is going to go to one of two spots to launch and not be noticed. Someone's gonna either remember seeing them before, or the coast guard is gonna see the outdated sticker. They are unrideable around here. I have all my paperwork, as do...

    My ski's were stolen.

    Just to clarify any confusion when I say unit what I mean is 'space in parking lot'. The storage company is Storage King. There is a gate that is accessed with a 5 digit passcode. There is the lot section for trailers. People keep boats, skis, flatbeds, enclosed trailers, etc here because the...

    My ski's were stolen.

    That's a good idea. I'm not thinking strait. I'll call the police back and ask them if they asked other businesses if they have any. The unit is on a main road, east or west. Knowing that would help me while scouring craigslist. God I hope this A*hole doesn't know what he has so he doesn't...

    Turns out their cameras delete on a set cycle and of course the earliest footage they have they were already taken. I'm f*d

    Did you end up getting it back, Matt? How did you find it and was it screwed with?

    My ski's were stolen.

    Tomorrow I'm digging around for my old phone for more. The last two years I've been storing them at a storage unit. There are cameras. We got a hold of the manager through there weekend help line and tomorrow he is going through the footage since the last time I was there. (about two weeks ago)...

    My ski's were stolen.

    At the police station now finishing the police report. One was a 1994 superjet bone stock. The other was a 1991 superjet with black hull and white hood. Please be on the lookout. If I can't find them that's pretty much it for me. Let me know of you see anything pop up. I'm in the greater...
