It's Wakeboarding Time!!!



Thanks to my brother in laws, I've had the chance to go wakeboarding 4 times already this year. They are wakeboarding fanatics and now I love it too. I've wakeboarded plenty of times before, but never could ever do anything. I would jump, crash, jump and crash again. Thanks to Brian and Joel I've been improving a ton this year and can now jump the wake and LAND IT! I will post a couple of videos once I can get a better internet connection because they are pretty big files. One is of me jumping the wake and the other is my attempt to flip or do something in the air (i don't know exactly what i did but it kinda looks cool).

Oh yeah. I'm literally hurting from head to toe right now from my crashes. My back, butt, and legs hurt really bad. I can't even lift my legs right now it hurts. But it is so much fun! I can't wait to go again!

Josh is so jealous. We will have to see you in action. Unfortunately I am not good either, I can barely get up. I hope that you heal alright and are able to enjoy your next trip out!

Nice job Mike. Last time I went wakeboarding was in Utah with a friend who had a boat. I cleared the wake once but upon clearing the wake I almost immediately did a major face plant. Hurt bad. Now you have to try some flips!!

Nic and I are so freakin jealous you have no idea!!! Last we went wakeboarding at least twice a week and we have not been once yet this year! So depressing! Looks like you are doing really well jumping the wake and trying crazy flips! I hope you wear a helmet when you do those flips!
