By the way... this is a better shot of the kicker. Massive doesn't begin to explain it. I'd be scared outta my mind to hit this thing!

damn, that is super steep, I think they are going to need to drop the front down a bit!

It looks worse then it is. It's super easy to hit and you can really fly if you want or just take a nice mellow slide over it. Here's a shot of me not exactly taking a mellow slide:

It is the first kicker i ever hit and it was not as abrupt as it looks. Nice trasitions. Oh and im 1 for 4 in landing.

A little video of not a landing.

OK I will take your word for it!! But I am not exactly a spring chicken, these almost 41 year old knees can only take so much :-)

I wanna see video of Cliff hitting that thing. I've seen Harf and Sharpe hit kickers that big and eat crap. I will be waiting to see what the NWHC does off of it.

I have enough brain cells left to know that I have no business hitting that.

One more day until I return to the sweet sweet butter I have missed so this year!

(load) · (load) **Join Date: Jul 2003** 09-01-2010, 8:50 AM

Cliff will do it!!

(seattle) · (seattle) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 09-01-2010, 7:51 PM

I think some have forgotten about the death kicker Hilliard put together a few years ago. It was steeper without transition and gave zero room for error. This one looks like it has a nice transition to scrub speed if you hit it to hot. I'm actually looking forward to seeing it in person.

I looked for a picture of that kicker with no luck but I found this one, must be year #1

Two trailer park girls go 'round the out side...

You should seriously consider hopping on a plane Scotty.

(jaegermaster) · (jaegermaster) **Join Date: Sep 2002** 09-02-2010, 6:43 AM

Everyone drive safe. Make sure you bring ones and fives for the raffle too.

Scotty, it won't be the same without you.

(jinxton) · (jinxton) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 09-02-2010, 1:22 PM

Thanks Brad!!

Would love to come up but have a group of 3000 coming in and a huge reception on Sunday then breakfast, lunch and dinner for 3 more days.

Better not look at the forecast. Dang this weather!!!

(jhuff79) · (jhuff79) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 09-02-2010, 4:49 PM

Got the kicker out of the water and it is ready to roll. We had to make sure it still worked before we put it on the trailer. After further review it is AWESOME.

Let's see some pictures and video please? Did Umali make it?

(helinut) · (helinut) **Join Date: Apr 2007** 09-07-2010, 3:28 PM

Yeah. I've been waiting all day to see some of the fun. Get it on up here!

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 09-07-2010, 4:01 PM

hahn, does this answer your question?

(jhuff79) · (jhuff79) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 09-07-2010, 4:27 PM

Here are a few I got. Joe did you get any pictures of me from the kicker. I think I rode right before the picture you posted.

(daren) · (daren) **Join Date: Apr 2004** 09-07-2010, 8:38 PM

One of my favorite pics from the weekend ... Jason's wakeskate cannonball front flip.

(solo) · (solo) **Join Date: Oct 2001** 09-08-2010, 10:39 AM

Joe, it would be better if it were a picture of you hitting that kicker!

(solo) · (solo) **Join Date: Oct 2001** 09-09-2010, 10:48 AM

That's it?

(seattle) · (seattle) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 09-09-2010, 7:02 PM

Nope,

People are busy getting caught up at work this week. Most of us were over there four days. I plan on doing a write up and there are many more photos yet to be posted.

Hey, do you still need those photos? You never returned my call!

Working on making a nice write up to go with Rich's vid but until then I like to thank those responsible for helping us raise over $3k for the Susan G Komen raffle this year.

Personal thanks go out to:

Steven Hahn, for contacting and convincing many of the vendors to donate to such a good cause.

Obrien Wakeboards, who consistently step up to the plate every year.

CWB, who always manages to contribute a nice setup.

Company Wake, who generously donated this year.

Jet Pilot, for donating every year.

Pepsi Beverages Company, for helping me make this raffle a success.

Three Fine Fellows, who makes sure there is Northwest representation.

The Tri Cities Crew, for helping out with donations and swag for the raffle.

TheBoatAccessoryshop.Com, for their generous donations.

Samson Towers, for the generous donation.

Joe Umali, for donating posters and Chick Flick DVDs for the groms.

This year was the largest and by far the most fun I've had at NWWF. Thanks to all who participated looking forward to next year.

Just got back from Germany late Tuesday night. Oktoberfest wore me out, but I'll dive back into the edit this weekend.

Cliff... still gotta get that flip cam from you... might be some footage on there I'll want for the vid.
