Base Skiing!! Urban riding!!

[Big Kahuna]

Props too you for doing it anyway,IF I had a SJ on that island,nothing would stop me from riding either.how many times did you ride to be caught those 2 times?
Also on the east coast most all places most of the year its illegal to ride within 100yds of shore,and we all still do that right? how many times are the waves breaking outside 100yrds here.......almost never

uh, riding on a deserted beach (shorebreak) and riding in a public park (pond) is a little bit different.

:biggrin: Ah, jeeze, Nurse Ratchett, get a grip. Hey, if I had to live in Ohio, I'd be pissed off about everything, too, but that doesn't excuse your weak perspective.

First of all, you quote HST in your sig line- have you read anything he wrote? What do you think his take on this subject would be? Yahaha, that's the end of your argument, right there. Since this is the interwierd, though, let's continue on.

"Get your facts straight", "bad publicity" etc: Two smokes were kicked off Tahoe due to being gross polluters, not because some yahoos roosted through the marina stark bollocky nekkid, drunk, with the mayor's daughter face down on the hood... everyone who saw THAT enjoyed it. It's too bad the news missed it. :beer: Anyone who's been in a marina in Tahoe know that the fookin' boats leak more oil in the lake than a hundred skis would, but I digress, that's a different subject.

Let me spell it out for you: Anyone who sees some yahoos on the news roosting the skis somewhere they shouldn't be is going to laugh, and then wonder why they aren't that cool anymore. Your legislators are too busy making payoffs in dark alleys and trolling for hookers while mom is out scoring pills- they aren't watching the news, yo, and could care less about the lunatic fringe.

The only way this sport survives is if the beautiful people keep riding, and make everyone who sees us go 'round grin, and wish they were doing what we're doing. Keeping your ski waxed and looking pimp will cause more converts than we'd ever lose by turning some laps in the country club swimming pool, and laying down a fountain that knocks three attorney golfers on their asses.

The more you think about it, the more overt your jet ski peccadillos, the more outrageous your antics, the better it is for the sport. The viscosity of the perversity is propultional to the whangle of the danger! Borrow your woman's best dress and get crackin', mothers! We have work to do! Remember when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!?

can you read?
i said do what youwant till it effects me , i really could care less
be a fool dong something else , this sport has a black eye it, don't need two. get crazy doing something that will not efffect the rest of this small population of boaters.

second
tahoe happened becasue a rich guy there did not like jetskiers on his lake . they used the 2 stroke argument so there could be legal backgrounds to make laws,
end of story

yes ive read most all hst stuff.
on top of crazy, he was an educated guy that didn't do things to effect others in any longterm sense of the word. his beef actaullly was with corruption and the death of the american dream .

and it's a fact he was a nut
what's that got to do with the good of jetskiing and general stupidity. or what i think is good for the sport i enjoy. i like him cuz of his drug induced antics not his stance on riding skis in places that are bad ideas


really i think being form ohio has shown me that you need to be loose and a freak . dude i have done more stupid stuff in my day than most and well that's not my point . and come on man ... sac??? it's as bad as ohio bro




dude! you have no idea , but this sport and our crafts are already loathed by too many
being a retard will not make it better

 

[vitaly]

There are many fun to do things besides riding in a park pond, like crossing a street on a red light, running with scissors, playing with plastic bags, blow dry hear in a shower, etc.
NW Lover, you should try them! Make sure they get on video!

 

[masterblaster]

Nw,I think you would be better served just posting the vid of these kinda things rather than talking about them here amongst these type of internet jetski police,at least some would perceive it as funny that way

 

[damnthathurt2]

I hear the blow drier in the shower can be a shockingly good time!!!!
damn I kill me.... :chairshot:

its not like the water cops dont mess with the PWC guys enough already especially the stand up guys why freakin give them any more damn ammo...

Just funnin' ya bruddahs. Good points all around. However- the Orwellian vision of a whimpering, cowed populace will be here in the flesh sooner than we think, if the reflex, "TOE THE LINE!", "Terrorist!", etc ad nausium crap doesn't get toned down sometime soon. Submission to to the fascist do-gooder boy scouts is a bad plan. This country is going to hell in a handbasket, and it isn't because of the rowdies- it's the f***** CONFORMISTS! Ahh, the irony of it all. I miss our America. Kill your TV. Mahalo. :crazy:

 

[SuperJETT]

Ah, that was a very 'George Carlin'-esque post, and the Mahalo on the end was a nice touch too.

[Idok]

have never considered an urban assault on ski's...


we do it all th time on our enduro's.....now THAT is is a good time..

 

[Drav]

explain the illegal surf riding... I gotta hear this...

btw - super gay post

Are you serious?

My point was most of us do something illegal on the ski at one point or another, talking poop about this is just the pot calling the kettle black.

You think riding a ski on a pond is going to promote getting skis banned anymore than riding your ski in a reckless manner on the lake? lol.
People wanna get our sport banned whether you're riding in a canal between houses or screwing with people's beach fun or doing barrel rolls on the lake within sight of any fisherman. As long as you're doing something illegal people are going to want us gone, no matter what it is.

Yeah my post is super gay.

I believe that statement's false because there's better ways of kicking off skiers that wouldn't effect the boats. Speed limit readily comes to mind. I've also seen atleast 1 lake, don't remember where, that will allow boats but not PWCs.

The boaters, as far as I've read in those 1990s news articles concerning this, were the primary opponents to that legislation. The articles I've read about it don't hardly mention PWC owners.

Also, if it was about the PWCs and not the pollution, why would they be allowing certain PWCs? http://www.boattahoe.com/trparegs.htm#banned

 

[wydopen]

I know Cali is not very accessible, but illegal??? ********ing hippies!!!

yup jetskis are treated just like a boat..cant be within 200yrd of a breaking wave..luckily they dont really enforce it most places or anywhere i ride so i could care less.. :burnout:

 

[NW Lover]

At the lake, river ect. we are model citizens!! I give my word no property, humans or animals were injured in these urban assults. Ok, maybe a few Cropie..

If you will look at the list, they are 4 stroke or 2 stroke direct injected. No regular 2 strokes. at the time, there was only about 2 or 3 4 strokes on the market, they could justify the ban by saying is was for pollution reasons.

Dude, put your money where your mouth is and give us some video.
Just doing this kind of sheeit (or pretending to) and then talking about it on here is just getting everyone fired up :soapbox: no matter what....

we want video of the approach...the stunt...and the getaway!

Then let everyone sort out your worth then...

 

[QuickMick]

So, not one of you has ever rode a dirtbike up your street or on the canal or around your neighborhood ect.. I can almost guarentee some of you have rode wheelies on your street bike on public streets.. We are having harmless fun.. *****I know who I am, opinions on the act are welcome. Personal bashing is not.****** :swordfight:

Ive done that many times.

I also was banned from running my remote controll boats from the Bayou across from where I use to live. A FEW certian people really believed I was actually trying to run over a 2 dollar duck with one of my 500.00 - 1000.00 R/C boats. I went to the City Council meeting they night it was to be talked about by the city councilmen/women. I asked them why they thought I would run over a duck with one of my boats. One WOMAN stood up and said it was scaring the ducks and it made them "fly up". I then said "thats what ducks do, they fly up".
With a quick vote and a stroke of a hammer it was now a new city ordinance that NO gas powered r/c boats could be ran in the bayou.

Well my point is... Once and a while I would get my big Zenoah (weedeater) boat out and crank it up in my driveway, walk across the street and throw it in the water. Do a few laps and then bring it in and put it in the garage.
Thats the only way I could get kinda/sorta even. A few times the cops would drive down my street soon after but they never stopped.

 

[Higgins-LCHC]

If the Marine patrol comes after me I just sub and stay down until they are gone. The prob with that is trying to keep my cig lit. :Banane09: Just tring to lighten the mood. You can't control what every dumb ass is doing, just try and hold up your end.
I always say "Shut up bitches and lets ride" <----I mean this in a good way.

:beerchug:

you are right and i don't preach conformity
just , that if you are already looked down on
don't live up to the stereotype

don't fuel the fire

and to the arguments that we are all breaking the laws when we go out and play?
well yeah prolly but there is a difference in setting off the illegal fireworks in a large open field vs. in the mall next to a group people

exactly
by banning 2 stroke pwc at the time, they were basically banning the large majority of jetskis. it's easy to push the pollution button when you live on a lake that is one of the cleanest around, and surrounded by other rich do gooders. read some of the old ijsba mags to see the story form our
side. and im not even sure 4 strokes were on the water at the time, or just coming out of development. there were just a handful of direct injected rides
