Stupid rangers

[fast superjet chase]

Am I the only one with dumb a$$ rangers that keep giving me tickets for doing backflips and tricks? I received a $202.50 ticket for doing them all that they can come up with in the law book is failure to keep a look out, and all of you know when in air and upside down is that you are well aware of everything around you... any iSight is welcome. Thanks.

Contest it in court. Maybe the judge will throw it out. I was a deputy for a few years and I can tell you that’s a chicken$hit ticket.

Ride at a different area? I did a backflip right in front of a game warden the other day, luckily he didn't seem to care lol.

Get your ijsba license and contest the ticket in court as you where practicing your tricks

 

[SmittySX]

I’ve been stopped by the sheriff for “reckless op” for doing flips but some how talked my way out of any tickets.

 

[Big Kahuna]

Reckless operation. Been there, don't that. Find a cove to ride in.

I've been fortunate. They sit and watch now, seems like our Sheriffs/Rangers have turned a shoulder for having zero registration numbers or stickers. A handful of years ago during the backflip learning days I had to watch out for them

And received another one today and was escorted to leave the state park to leave for 24hours

I do compete and have a card been doing this for years and now all the sudden this one ranger chick has been harassing me all this year for it.

 

[Yami-Rider]

Should be east to contest in court then.

 

[Sanoman]

Maybe she wants to date you!

 

[Freakrider]

Sit next to her in court and make friends.

Does not matter. It is still reckless operation.

Does not matter. It is still reckless operation.

agree but they should be able to tell difference between an idiot on a couch vs a guy that seems to know how to control his boat.
sounds like personal ax to grind.....

 

[newbee]

Power she told you to stop but you don't. So now its a game. There looking for you.

Wtf is this at Boyd? Were you flipping near the shore or did you go to where the boats are at?

 

[te4250]

The sheriff at our lake thinks it’s cool to see people doing backflips, on the other hand one time the nys “park police” were at the launch and gave us a bunch of tickets for nothing, got them all thrown out in court but it sucks burning up hours in the court room for bs tickets, honestly would have been cheaper to just pay them opportunity cost wise.

 

[orangefinger]

technically the pump should not leave the water.....
Maybe if u take the time to explain what you are doing why you are doing it ( competition rider etc ) and educate them that you are actualy a much more advanced and careful rider than the average drunk joe .......

 

[SXIPro]

She's obviously PMSing. Bring Hershey kisses next time you ride.

You cannot win this in court. I tried, lost. as far as the judge is concerned, your license does not mean anything to them. Your experience does not matter. One of the big things they mentioned when I explained I am a competitor and was practicing and that there was literally Zero Boats on the lake at the time...... Did I have a permit? Did I have paramedics on hand? The answer was No........ In there eyes, it is reckless operation...... If you get injured, there is nobody out there to help you. Go find a cove to ride in where nobody is around, or dont ride when they are sitting at the boat ramp.
