Damn, I am sore.

But I can officially say I am a stand-up rider! :woot:

I spent yesterday and today at the lake. The 58 degree water was my incentive not to fall off. I only took one really bad spill. The handle grip slid off, the ski went off into the sunset. I swam around in the 58 degree water (luckily with a full wet suit) for atleast 5 minutes until I was finally able to intercept the ski. I'm now looking into a kill switch.

Props to Curtis (Kawirider) for hooking me up with a kick-azz ski.

No Luke, it is a place where we make conveyors for the united states postal service and for the british postal service. We have been in the news lately because people are getting layed off. What else is new in Michigan besides layoffs. Good Thing mY pos. is secure...

 

[JustGood]

Sorry for the thread hijack as well. The conveyors sort mail, bunch of engineers. I just watch to make sure everything goes as planned and there are no dicrepencies(SP.)

Okay makes sense. The wife is from Michigan city ,IN and now a 6 year Florida transplant. If they are still having to ride in that cold sh*t , then props to them cause I would move after about a week or 2 of dealing with cold water in April.

Glad you were able to get out. Still trying to get down to the river. All three skis ready and rewired the second trailer but do not have to time to get on them. maybe this weekend.

 

[SuperjetSteve]

i put my skis in lastweekend and the water was about 40 degrees


with just a bathing suit

Like Powder said just adjust the throttle so it dies when you let off. It's quick and easy to do.
