The Good Old Days

I haven't been here in years, but decided to roll through this AM, for some reason. I'm still convinced that the $100k wakeboat ruined the industry. When we started riding we were all in our early 20's and bought new boats. 4 guys in our crew. 4 boats. Thise were some of the best days of my life. How many kids can roll out of college and pay for a $80k starter boat?

If definitely takes a toll on the body, too. In my early 40's I'm still feeling good, but I'm not into pounding myself like I used to.

Cool to see a bunch of the same screen names still on here. What's up, guys?!?!

Well the price of the boats doesn't help. I don't think it is the driver in decrease of interest, as you can always get a good used boat.

I think interest just peaked and declined. Used to be bowling was popular also. Things come and go.

The 20 somethings must be doing something else.

Let's face it moving from amateurs to intermediate (360, toeside jump, and a coulple inverts) is pretty difficult. Most people gonna quit after one or two good falls.
