2008 Put-In-Bay Island Freeride

[MADMAT]

Oh yea I forgot you had that too! We have almost identical set ups.

 

[Ericfox]

oh yeah.. duh... didnt think of all the cables matt... that will add another hour to your fun... but you should have a little experience already from shortening your pole...

 

[Ericfox]

Oh yea I forgot you had that too! We have almost identical set ups.

Yep.... too bad you're gonna blow me outta the water now with your new hull!!! I'll have to get something good this winter so I can still have something to compare!

damn, I just thought everything swapped over... Does the lowered bracked just bolt up? I didn't see any bolts holding it on.. didn't notice some glue of somekind around the stock bracket.

There are a few bolts... cant remember if they are made into the stock bracket or not... you'll need to pull the lines through the new bracket and back into the pole again... that will prob. be the hardest part.... you might want to check to see if you need any hardware or if the stock hardware works... or if jeff supplied it to you??? When I put my xmetal bracket on I had to buy hardware if I remember right...

 

[CarFanatic]

guess I'll see when I get the package... Sounds like alot of work though, so I wont have time to do it before the ride.

What up ya'll. Eric...lucky....you get the first wave action and downtown action. Brenden..good to hear you'll have your ski. It's a weekend not to miss...you'll soon find out why. Paul...it'll be good to meet you too and the others going. We got any last minute add on's for the weekend?

I"m gonna tune a little tomorrow finally...my ass hasn't been in the water now since July 12th.....that's way too long, but the foot is now good and ready to roll.

I also have a helmet cam (oregon scientific) that can be attached to my mx helmet. It takes pretty good video. Engine sound kinda overwhelms the take. Anybody is welcome to use it. I have another..the one Samsung came out with with the corded helmet cam from the mini camcorder. That proved to be a piece of crap..but alone makes a good cam for handheld action shots...or some late night bar video's.

 

[Ericfox]

Dont worry Scott... there will be plenty of action left for you guys when you get there!!!

I dont know of any last minute people... maybe 1 extra guy is staying with us... but he wont have a ski anyways.... figured we might get another person or two interested at the last minute... from my experience - it happens each year that people from surrounding states dont know what the heck Put-In-Bay is.... and then some people from Ohio dont even know.... no excuse for that!!!!

I will check with one guy from pwctoday... he seemed interested a few weeks ago...

If anyone sees this - and has no plans this weekend... MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS!!!! IT IS LIKE SPRING BREAK, MARDI GRAS, AND AN AWESOME FREERIDE MIXED INTO ONE WEEKEND!

there may still be a way to accomodate an extra person or two so let us know ASAP

I wanted to remind everyone to bring current registration for their ski if they have it and whistle, fire ext. I'm sure we'll have no problem with the ODNR as we'll be away from the downtown action for the most part...but better to be prepared.

 

[CarFanatic]

man anyone know where I can get my registration laminated? I always just leave mine in my car.

 

[Ericfox]

Word...

I just talked to JM-Team... Brian from there said he might come up with another guy... just very tentative though as they are both trying to get their skis running...

 

[Ericfox]

man anyone know where I can get my registration laminated? I always just leave mine in my car.

You can take to any kinkos or other copy place... they should be able to do it... I always keep mine in my ski.... but you could prob. just bring it with you and go back to shore to show them if you had to... just depends if you have time to go get it laminated...

 

[CarFanatic]

They always get ruined when I leave them in the ski. I will see if kinkos does it.

 

[Scoot72]

i got a laminator here. I can take care of that.

 

[Scoot72]

I always got a lot of odd random crap around the pad. haha..got my foot saran wrapped about to got test run my ski.

 

[Ericfox]

NICE!

dude... I'm going nuts right now... I have 1/2 hour left at work... I wanna leave so bad to go home and get ready!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow's weather is looking just ok... maybe get a little storm in the afternoon....
Friday looking pretty good with only a slight chance of a little storm
Saturday looking very good!

Chance of getting wasted every day 100%

 

[CarFanatic]

you got a laminator! Excellent! I gotta start seeing what I need to bring.

MY WDK hood got delieverd... but no ski to put it on

 

[Scoot72]

just got back in..ski feels good. Need to tune the bottom end in just a bit, but i'll do that friday am. I wanted to get a little open water through it then load it up. getting some stuff out of the way before everyone gets here tomorrow evening.

Brenden..what's the word on the fiberglass. They started it right? Have it back by tomorrow?

Eric..the weather is gonna be awesome this weekend. 20% forcast of rain that I seen today for Friday Saturday..that's nothing

 

[CarFanatic]

they called me yesterday said my superjet will be ready to ride tomarrow. it will be missing some decals haha but they will fix that when I get back. So I should be good to go!
