So I'm in Nasville for a couple of days and throw my ski in the bed of my truck so I can rip it up freestyle w/the 615 crew. (mistake #1) LMAO
I hook up w/Brian and Travis this afternoon and we in turn meet Toby, Jarrod, Sharpie Chick and another guy(can't remember his name)(mistake #2). LOL We unload and ride to party cove(where water is like 2'deep) and find a boater kind enuf to make us a decent wake. Brian thinks wake is lame(uh oh goes here). We go back to truck and gas up and find a BARGE, now Brian is happy.(mistake #3)LOL
I roll into barge wakes like I have done for years on the TN river only to find I aint never rolled into no chit like this!!! A few minutes go by and Brian has been throwin some sweet azz stabs off the barge wakes that I'm still wetting my shorts over.THEN IT HAPPENS(CHIT, THAT IS).Brian goes F'ING ignorant off of a wake that is 5' tall and he launches about 10' or more off the tip of the wake, finishes stab w/a 5 second long geuyser-sp-straight into the setting sun. WOW
This is where is gets really cool. The rev comes up on it's own and heads on down the river chasing boat docks, parked boats, rock walls and finally the barge. WITH OUT BRIAN!!!Keefer and I decide F Brian, he's fine, however, the REV ain't gonna live to see tomorrow. After Keefer keeps re-directing it to deep water I finally get smart enuf to bail my ski and jump on the REV to hit the little red button. The REV now lives to see another day. LOL

Hats off to the 615 crew going stupid big.

LOL and u r right. Did u notice I found the text buttons this week???LMAO
My dumb azz has wondered for a long time how people do that-AND NOW I KNOW.sorry-had to do it 1 last time.LOL
 
Wow.
I really wanted to come down and ride with the 615 crew this past weekend. Unfortunately I couldn't spare the cash as work has been slow the past couple weeks. Sounds like I should have come anyway!
Really glad no one was hurt. Slick job MacGyver!! Way to save the day! Man you guys got so lucky!
Thank god for people with balls enough to chase down a run away ski, and bail onto it. I can say I'd try to do it, and I know for 100% I would TRY.. To actually pull it off and stop the ski before it stopped itself, against something, is freakin amazing!!!!

What made the REV take off on its own? What kind of damage was done?

On my ski I had idled down so it would run real rough or stop running. Then the little allen screw came loose on my slave carb and the butterl fly moved to wide open. When my son fell off it took off across the lake at about 20 MPH. Was able to chase it down before it hit anything. I was lucky.

so just how fast was it going? I figure about idle speed based on how worked up you got.
