Where did you find that grill... I want one

Brandon and I will be attending the PWT in Acworth, on the 18th. We'll be staying at the Best Western on Saturday night.

Who else is going that posts on here?

Hope to see you there!

I'm going but I hadn't really thought about where to stay, I thought about camping though, or sleeping in the truck. Anyone know if camping will be allowed on site?

I don't think there is camping on site. The Best Western will probably book fast, that's where we we stayed last year and I'd say we'll be there again this time. It was a blast last year and I'd say it will be even better this time.

We found out on April 1st we are having a boy!!! Plus the house is only about a month or so out, I should get cleared to ride the end of May, so get ready. I think this may be a come back year for me! haha

I have clearance for June 1st!

How are the water levels over in East TN? I know the Watauga is still down quite a bit, but it has been getting better from what I have heard. There has been a lot of rain lately and more to come in the forecast so that should help.

Congrats on the news of the new baby boy Chris, I'm sure he will be ripping in the near future!

Thanks Dillon. Hopefully he might take after me a little bit in that department.
The water at Boone, where I live is coming up very nice. It is usually up all the way by mid-may. I will be able to use my lift sometime this month im sure. I can't ride yet, but I will be able to drive.

water is coming up fast here on cherokee -the lake level is past what it was back in the summer. congrats on the new addition chris...nothin like em. anyone intrested on going to the protour im going to call and reserve rooms monday or tuesday .give me a yell and let me know if you want to go ..we have 12-15 going from our bunch. # is 865-850-6073 if i dont answer just leave a message ....holler later--- rod

Rod - Your boat is all shiny and ready. Let me know and we can bring it to you or you can pick it up. I think we are going to the factory on Friday if you want to go. We'll let you know on the rooms. Later.

Rod - It's inside, sorry. I will let you know about Friday by Wednesday.

Dillon - Hit us up, my contact info is in my profile.

get this one back up, instead of the new one.

so I'm confused on which post to comment on

How many of you are going to Knoxville for the UT Event this weekend?

post on this one

Im going to go try my luck in knoxvagas this weekend so anyone that wants to come watch me crash is more then welcome. lol It should be a fun one though. I hear there will be tons of riders there.

Sat ? Sun? Where? Time?

sorry for the 2nd post couldnt find thus one .....my bad

Tourney is Sat. at Volunteer Landing. Not sure what time it starts though.

It starts at 10 they are having beginner, womens, intermediate, advanced, outlaw which I will be riding in, and pro. Should be lots of riders from all over. Then Final rounds on sunday.

Pat, you need to say "watch you grab your tantrum and win!" don't be saying that crash crap!!! I have faith in ya! How did you do yesterday?

Hey Rod, good seeing you yesterday man!! I'm looking forward to the Acworth trip.

Hey Pat, good luck this weekend, ride the piss out of it

I'd say it's official now....The water is about the right temp now.

Pat should do well, he learned a heelside front flip yesterday and hit it every time today. He also learned a switch scarecrow and hit it everytime...actually he's 100% on that one, he landed it his first try.

Brandon and I will be taking the boat out this Sunday, for the first rides of the season, if all goes well.

Hey Nate, we're looking forward to seeing you guys and everyone else on here that's going to PWT. Any word yet on the IBEX board. I think we're about ready for it.

Have a great week everyone and stay safe out there.

David - The 134 is on back order, if you need something to get you by until then just let me know. Hope everything goes well Sunday.

Congrats to Pat on a solid second place finish in the Outlaw division.... Way to go brotha!

Congrats Pat! Wish I could have seen it, but was hard at work on the trailer! WAY TO GO BIG!!! Nate no pics??

Mike - I wasn't able to make it, just getting the word from Pat.

Nate...I'll hit you guys up for sure

thanks guys. I cant wait for ga pro tour

YEAH, I rode today! I was very nervous at first and shoulder is still a bit tentative, but will be fine in a month, just nothing crazy for a bit! So Chris when you hitting the water?

Pat, I want to congratulate you on a really good run this past weekend!!!! It looked good even if it had been on smooth water much less the crap you were riding in. Guys the water was CRAZY rough and to top it off it started to rain about the time our little buddy dropped in for his pass. I think he was the only person to ride in the rain!!! Carson Daly says thats karma my friend.

Hope everyone is well.........Later

My little buddy Pat stepped up!!! I just need to get you on that Blind 3 with my signature handle pass for some bonus points! haha.
Mike, I go back to the Dr. 3rd week of May, so hopefully he will tell me I can ride then. Im not going to push it until he tells me I can because there is no way I am having that surgery again! I can't use my dock and lift yet anyway, and im still about a month out from moving to the new house, so if all goes right, the timing will be perfect to start riding in about a month! It is later than usual, but im old, fat, and washed up!

hey ther Marvin thanks for the pull had fun loved the wake im happy for you man. you should be really happy with the new boat i like the hell out of it.

Hey Marv. When do I get to go out on your boat? I cant wait. Congrates dude. Dont be a stranger.

Marv - Congrats on the purchase. Pat told me about what you got and it sounds nice.

nice place i have a houseboat on wautauga lake.
there is a contest on boone lake june 7th by the way

who is putting on the contest on Boone Lake in June?
Water is still coming up in front of our dock on Boone, our new house is almost done, so hopefully in about a month we will be moving back in to the lake.

Usually Billy and the boys at Performance over at Wing Deer

ya its performance's event and of all the ones i went to last year it was by far the best run and on time event that i have been to. they put a lot into making it perfect. there is usually a pretty big turn out also.

and also about the contest rumor has it that the cripler will be used to pull the advanced and the outlaw class.

Cripler? What that mean????? Sounds like we should warn Pat

(Message edited by cbk on May 08, 2008)

Ed, Bring up the boat and let's ride! I sold my boat, so I am thumbing!

hey Nate it mean that this 210 has hurt about everybody that has ridin behind it. so it kind of got a name because of it. the wake behind this this is just nasty, it has taken a little bit to get used to but ive figured it out, its alot more agressive than im used. Hey mike we have been up there a few times to ride and all the time down here when ever you want a pull let me know i would be glad to get out there with ya. I know now what you and a lot of others says about correct craft and Nautiques. i thought it was kind of a line a crap but now that ive spent some time in one and a lot of other brands i see what everybody else says. i think you will like it give me a call. Also Pat has already asked to practice behind it before the contest and he knows he is welcome.

Hurt everybody....Sounds like fun. Pat, you better be careful.

New name "The Man Boat" cause you gotta have b_lls to ride behind it! HA!

The chattwake 230 has a wake from the darkside as well

The CBK Avy has a little bite to it.

Pat wont be scared because he has hit the triple up. and seriously....no offense, but you can make a wake perfect and big behind any boat if you know what you are doing. there is nothing scary about hiting a wake behind a c.c. you just charge it like you do everything else!

I think I can handle it. As a matter of fact i'm pretty sure that wake will be calling me the crippler after I ride it. HAHA. I really do wanna go out with ya sometime though I'm sure I would like it if you say its that big. But for real that wake behind that avalanche the other day was like nothing I've ever rode behind. no joke, amazing!

any of you ride Tim's Ford Lake around Winchester?

I will concur with Pat, after riding behind the Avalanche and owning a Nauti, the Avalanche wake is so smooth and launchs you right up there and is as good as it gets! No disrespect to any other boat! Hell there all good as long as I am at the end of the rope!!!

Thanks guys on the congrats!!!! It seems I have GREAT friends, you all seem as happy as I am about getting it. That really means a lot to me!!

Ed, you don't have to thank me for a pull behind it, heck I owe you a thousand more. I know we don't keep score that way but it's my way of saying you are welcome any time...

Pat, get down here and stay the weekend I am wanting you to ride behind it too!!! I will fix my specialty also...Seriously come down, because I am going to take you up on your offer soon my friend.

Nate, I am betting you want come down to ride behind my boat!!!! No seriously I am really humbled by having it... I know it's not new but I really don't deserve such a nice boat.

Everybody have a great rest of the week and will check you later. Take it easy.

Marv - My man, I know you lost the last bet, so don't be so sure!!!! You not going to ATL now? Say it aint so, I need another pep talk form ya man!

Mike O - Agreed, they're all nice as long as they are running and floating

Tim's Ford? Never heard of it.

Yeah man it sucks I am flying wife and mother-in-law to Savannah the next weekend and we are getting a house on Tybee Is. and are staying a few days. Plus the new boat, and the baby needs new shoes!!!!!! If I want to have any gas money something has to give and it sure isn't the hens. We have planned this trip for two years and it just hit at a bad time. I am really going to miss it. Heck you are the one who needs to pep talk me!!!! You took it and ran with it, I well......


I am going to try to come up soon and hang out for a day if you guys can put up with me, please don't answer that.
