i wouldnt want people seeing me almost turned into mush either.it says user removed the SJBrit fishbait video
I agree with yamalust, I had ZERO interest in getting in on that boat wake thing.
way cool to watch, and BIG air from those guys, but too much potential for danger there.
and WTF was the video pulled?
Obviously, its not GOOD for the "sport".. but come one guys, it happened, we learned from it.
I can only hope that SJBrit chased that boat down and apologized.
Did you see the small kids riding in the front of that boat? the ones that NEARLY got thrown out in the evasive maneuver that likely saved SJBrits life?
Dont do that in front of my boat, my reflexes arent that good.
no offense meant at all SJBrit, its all fun , and im glad you arent hurt.
But dam guys, need to be a little safer out there.
One incident like that, that doesnt end as well as this one, would basically ruin this entire gig.
I'm usually pretty damn careful, but crap!! That was close. Here's the annoying thing though - That guy positioned himself by the wake, so I just rode along straight for a while till it was safe. Eventually he beckoned me across in front of him pointing at the wake, so I thought - cool, nice guy. I actually thought he was planning to miss me - I didn't know he wanted to use me for target practice. Lesson learned - even the guys who are apparently giving you space are likely to hit you.

We still love you:grouphug:Just so everyone knows - that kind of freaked me out and made me feel like a rooky dumbass. I'll think twice before jumping wakes in such congestion again - not worth it. And I'm supposed to know what the h*ll I'm doing - lesson for the beginners....
We still love you:grouphug:
OMG.... that was f'ing ridiculous.
another reason I will not jump wakes EVER
Because the general public does not need to see that. We all know it was a mistake; others will see it as to how careless riders are.This video has been removed by the user. :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:
I'd rather learn from someone else mistake,, why removed
Jumping wakes is safe as long as you pay attention. I do it everytime I ride. I'm sorry brit but that was a rookie move:biggthumpup: Always look behind you and always think of the worst thing that could happen because it almost did.
I'm still figuring out whether I still love you. Damn gummy worms.... :nono:

I felt completely safe out there, that is nothing compared to the Mississippi on a good day the Mississippi is like playing on a hwy. with all the BIG boat traffic. Everyone jumped and got out of the way on a timely manner.
Wait till the Ozarks ride in front of party cove that’s like playing on the highway in a washing machine waves with cruisers coming from all directions it’s a blast as long as you are using the buddy system.:biggthumpup:

I was there last year Mark,
It was crazy busy with BIG boats hualing ass.
if my boat had been starting more reliably ( fixed now) I would have spent more time out in traffic, I was afraid Id fall, and be unable to restart.
