Thanks everyone for making this ride the best of the year for the 2nd time in a row!! :D

[yamaslut]

I can't thank everyone involved enough for putting the event on... You guys kicked it hard... From the kickin' houseboats, to the food, to all the prep that goes into putting one of these things on... thanks again!!!!!! All the hard work is appreciated!!!!

[PancakePete]

Thank you All, Ronny, Ally, Kathy, Stoyer, Paul.... JUST WOW ! What a Freeride !:hail:

[Jr.]

If you missed this ride, you just missed the Mac Daddy of all the freerides!!

Starting Friday, the grounds were full, the riding was fast & furious, & the party was on full swing. Sat brought on the freestyle/ big trick comp, followed closely by the double up ride. The Build off was next up. There were definaly some killer rides created. Congrats to all who took the time to do the build.

In the evening was the incredible dinner sponsored by Kathy ( everyone left fat & happy) The raffle had more giveaway idems then I have seen at any event so far. over $2700 was raised for the charity.

I meet so many people, rode soo many differant boats, had such a great time. This sport is definately coming into it own!

I have said this so many times before, You must make every effort to attend one of these............ This is what the sport is about!

The Thank yous go out to all who had a part in it,
Ronny, Kathy, Ally, The time & energy you devoted is a tru inspiration.
Mike , Trevor & Jason. Thank you for fronting the mike & keeping every thing rolling smooth.
Kathy & the Delightful Biteful crew. this was a meal to die for!!
Everyone who supports www.x-h2o.com (http://www.x-h2o.com) , without you, none of this would be possible.
Chris from the AWA, Thank you for supporting our great sport
All the many sponsors who gave to make this what it is! Thank You!!

I missed getting a Lanier Decal somehow....can anybody hook me up with a couple??

[Big Kahuna]

I have yet to get a Daytona, Texas, Lanier Sticker.............. grrrrrrrrr

did not even get a shirt!

[SuperJETT]

there were stickers???
I have yet to get a Daytona, Texas, Lanier Sticker.............. grrrrrrrrr

did not even get a shirt!

I'm with you, I didn't get one either. I did finally get an X-H2o sticker but ended up giving it to someone that didn't get one either, so I'm still x-h2o-less.

[WAB]

kathy & crew had the shirts for sale on the house boats all 3 days. They are multicolor & pimp. I bought a couple of those.
I saw single decals being carried around by different people, so I know they exist.....

[Freestyleriverrat]

I had a blast hanging out with everyone and finally being able to put faces to names. Everyone in this community was very cool. By far the best event of the year. Before Lanier the most standups I have seen in one place was like 5..........to have the whole beach and most the site packed with skis was awsome :arms: :arms: My ski was out for the count but big thanks to SuperJett, Dj and Tricky for letting me ride their boats and congrats to all the build off guys.............if you ever wanted ideas for a ski those build off skis were the place to look. Each one was different in style, construction and function. :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup:

Huge thanks to Kathy...................that dinner was mind boggling :bigeyes: :hail:

[MILF]

there were stickers???
I have yet to get a Daytona, Texas, Lanier Sticker.............. grrrrrrrrr

I will put (2) aside for you....... One for you and Anita!

[MILF]

Also a BIG Thanks to John for bringing "Patrick Slices" out for the Ride!!!:cheer: :cheer:

It was great to have (2) boats this year for everyone ! :Banane01:

[JM-Team]

Thanks to all for the killer weekend. Met a ton of super cool people and everything was awesome. Kathy the food was off the hook.. Thanks to Ronny, Ally, Kathy, Jason, Mike, Slutty, Jens for the killer german beers and everyone else who helped to make this a super weekend. Look forward to an even bigger and better next year.

Jay

[Big Kahuna]

hey Jay, it was great to meet you, wish we had more time to shoot the bull.......... have learned taht you just cant spend enough time with everybody!!!!!!!!

Kathy, thanks again for the food and all the hard work........... you too Ronny.............

[Moondance]

Just to add my thank you to all who made the Ronny Ride possible. As usual it was full of great fun, great people & awesome food. So far this year I have been to Daytona, Texas & Lanier. Each one has been off the hook. The theme is basic...ride, eat, have fun, party, repeat. But what is so awesome about these rides is the uniqueness each ride has. Each one has had it's own "personality". It just makes you anticipate the next ride that much more. I'm proud to be a small part of such a great group of enthusiasts who put such a positive image to our sport. Let's keep it going strong.

[Alan Shore]

Many thanks to those that went out of their way to make sure everybody had a good time.

Mr. Red Pants?

[G.Kinnear]

Thanks to all involved in the free Ride, my first time hanging out with all. The house boats were great. Ronny be shure to post the picture of me passed out with the life perserver, red bull and free X-H20 addvertisement on my forhead. The event was awsome, the 32 hour round trip was a small price to pay. look forword to seeing final vid's from sat. I slept through that. I will be shure to attend other events. Great job and way to make everyone feel welcome.

[WET BOX]

1st time for me. I'm fairly new, but it was awesome except for the "concentration camp" feel of the facilities. Couldn't go to dinner without being back by 10:30... hey i'm on vacation! Cool site cool peeps, but lame campground regulations.

Thanks Everyone.

P.S. Marsh is hardore!
John

[WaHoo_1]

[Alan Shore]

Mr. Red Pants?

Nope. I just happened to stumble upon the event while intown visiting some family. I just watched the show. Later Saturday I was waiting to see if you all got stuck by lightening as you stood by the offical Red Bull lightening rod.

And a special thanks to STEELDOGG and YAMA CAT for giving me a hand with some beach side engine shimming :biggthumpup:

[jamie327]

It was an awesome time, something I'm sure not to soon forget. Thanks to everyone involved! It was great meeting everyone, putting faces to screennames and all. Looking forward to the next one!

[SuperJETT]

Later Saturday I was waiting to see if you all got stuck by lightening as you stood by the offical Red Bull lightening rod.

OMG, that was a bit on the scary side. A 20 foot lightning rod, in a storm, with 200 people under/around it as a sacrifice to the jetski gods.

LMAO. we were in the rain sayin the same thing !

[guiness92]

This event was awesome!! Ronny and the crew put on one of the best events yet. The house boat parties were awesome. The raffle and fund raiser was evevn better, and the riding was insane. The vids will prove that. Definately worth the 13 hour trip. Thanks to all the sponsors too, there was TONS of swag being given away.

sorry for almost killing you w/ the grips :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Hah no problem. You rock Nick!! I needed grips pretty badly and then they were flying at my head. I'll let anyone throw free parts at me that wants too.

[The Penguin]

how bout a crank? :biggrin:

[guiness92]

thats ok its an sbt crank, it will probably break before my head does

[Fuse]

Just wanted to throw in my thanks to everyone involved. It was a killer weekend, I'm so glad I could make it out this year, and my ski ran. (Actually, seems like fewer ski's died this weekend than I was expecting.) Mad props for the massive food (amazing, tho next time save the RedBull so we have something to drink haha), the houseboats to party semi-safely on, the raffle, everything.

Even the Nazi's didn't cause too many problems, although they did try to tell me and Waste we couldn't walk in at 8pm. Hey, we're registered on a paid site (Thanks to whoever we bummed off of), I'll come in on a pogo-stick if I freakin' want. And they didn't even ticket my van that I left parked right outside the gate (No-Parking) from 8pm-6am. :biggrin:


I wish we could do it again next month! I've got to go to Race Track and get a red cup so I don't feel so left out.

[Nascency Chris]
