you sure dont see guys dragging their bar end they have it layed over so far anymore..i guess when your ski is 3ft wide thats kinda hard to do....and people wonder why interest in jetskis isnt what it used to be?...

here's my claim to fame oe shame vid.
i was named the gorilla back then because i broke every part on a 440-550 over + over again.

this year's world finals i also got to throw glenn bothwell, the world finals race director in the drink too.
i was able to do my own private lap every year for 7 years running.

Ever since I saw Sheldon Leg Draging in a race, I always thought it looked so cool. I practiced and practiced and practiced and then practiced some more until I got it down. I never won any races leg dragging but it sure is fun to just carve around and do it.

here's the lastest vid of the gorilla in action at the 2009 world finals.
i almost made a monkey of myself going over the log jump and sub after jumping it, but over came the pressure and rode right past all the race officials on the water and got away clean !!!
iflyems has some good pic of that sub action on his web pages.
