Showing Off

[skinautique]

is this a good place to put pictures of us having fun behind or in our Nautiques?

[skinautique]

I guess I will kick it off then. Here we go.

Thanks! That'll be my goal for next season!!! Post more!!! :)

[AbunDiga909]

We should make this the official "Showing Off" post!

[skinautique]

abundiga,
This is the official show off posting spot. Where are your pictures at?

[NautiqueJeff]

Here's mine...

This is meant to show my wonderful falling ability, not my tiny wake jump.

I don't have a pic... and I know this thread is as old as ****... but I must respond to the title...

Just landed a dismount gainer (flip) on the SkySki a couple of weeks ago! I think I may just have to go again even though its almost 45 degress out!

Now that the seasons over, we all must have some pics... this thread isn't long enough...

And btw, does it have to be strict to being Nautique related? :wink:

[NautiqueJeff]

Yeah, let's get this thread going again. Let's see what everyone did this past summer.

[Onthewater]

consider it revived, a few of me and the crew from this summer. As my brother stated, frosty beverages prevented us from accomplishing more, no pics of wakeskating either.

[TylerO]

:( Geez, Sorry about that last post.

Trying that again.....a little smaller this time.

[AbunDiga909]

Onthewater: Very nice shot of barfooting in the sunset!

[SWCC-PART-MAN]

i agree. that is a pretty sweet shot! i was waiting to see someone riding a picnic table that is flipped over or something along those lines. you know the stuff that happens with a few hairy legged boys and a few brews. yunno like "tube wars".

[jeepn]

learned to barefoot this summer

[slob02]

These are all from this past summer behind my 1997 nautique.
Except the snowmobile which was last winter.

[Luke]

Slob, just out of curiosity...In that middle pic looks like you were wakeskating...Were you attempting a raley?

[NautiqueChick]

Here are a couple pics of me wakesurfing beind our 01 Air at the beginning of the summer. The wake isn't all that great in these pics, we have gotten it much better. Wish I had some boarding pics or at least surfing pics from the end of summer, I got much better. But these will work...

[slob02]

Luke............That was a wakeskate Raley!! I just liked the pic.

[Onthewater]

learned to barefoot this summer

careful with that stance, take a few headers? approx how fast were you going to be able to stand straight up? and how much do you weigh?

nice rush/natural high isn't it?

[SprintCar39]

onthewater......I was thinkin the very same thing....OUCH

[jeepn]

my form still does need alot of help. it's amazing how hard it is to think when your doing that, much less change anything. i'm about 150lbs and run about 36 mph.

my friends always said the spill hurt less than a bad wakeboard fall, i didn't believe them till it tried it. they get your attention, but usually don't hurt too bad.

[Luke]

Slob...Thought so...I tried a couple of those; hurt as bad as, if not more than a raley with a board strapped on. Did you find it helped when you went back to the board?

[Onthewater]

Wakeskate raleys are always fun, we all try to take a few during the summer. Double ups on a skate are crazy.

[slob02]

Luke.............It did help. Mentally I guess. I just had trouble cutting on the skate as hard as I can on my board.

[darrel409]

We have a yearly tradition on Labor Day. 4- barefooters for breakfast.

[Hollywood]

darrel, need a fifth?

[darrel409]

Yeah we do need a fifth, I refer Vodka b4 noon... Seriously, almost, 5 would be cool. Can you make it to the Colorado River by Labor Day 2005.?

1st time surfer Lake Annecey (France) september 04

[AbunDiga909]

Today I went out on the lake for the last time this summer :cry: , w/ water temp of 49.9 F and air temp. suprisingly got up to 70! :shock:

We also took these shots...

Jeff or Luke, we have some .MOV (quicktime) files from the camera but i cant seem to post them. Unfortunately, only the movies have me flipping, so how can i post them?

P.S. I know i'm not in fully one of the pics, but i still think its cool w/ a bass boat towing another in the background...

[NautiqueJeff]

I just added the .mov extension to the list of allowed extensions. Please try to post the clip again now.

[AbunDiga909]

Alright, lets give it shot...

Not my best flip, but nice and short...

[AirNautique211]

Nice clip - makes me want to learn!

[Socbum]

Wicked! Floating around in the foil looks like great fun.

[Hollywood]

Floating around in the foil looks like great fun.

key word "looks". we rented one once, so frustrating! I'll wait till i snap my neck doing other things until i pick up the sky ski again.

I'm sure once you're good enough to control the thing it gets fun, it kind of reminds me of driving a caddilac down the highway.

[AbunDiga909]

Hollywood you're right, it took us about a full season just to be able to control the darn thing and not fly out everywhere. Then it wasn't til the next one where we started to cross the wake and make bunny jumps. This is I think the end of my 4th full season. But, like always, once you get good, its totally worth it and like no other feeling--flying.

Here's a pic of my daughter. This was taken last year when she was eight. 8)

Hey b2

You like a real pro on that board ! I want to see some surf shots when you get back from florida.

Bump...

The pics of the footers are especially nice.

After reading through 30 pages of threads, the same general topics are often recycled...there's no need to start a new thread everytime someone thinks they have an original thought/question when it's already been covered...better to find a thread already discussing the topic, even if it has been inactive for a while...I bump those I find compelling and maybe worth a re-read...you might not think so...but some surely have been forgotten or never seen by others.

still early, plenty more pics to come. check out the sweet new seating on the pontoon.

OTW and Hollywood footn.

Forgot my camera or I'd have some dual footing pics of myself and Quinner. Met up with him yesterday, super nice guy with a t*tty boat. We rocked to Barry Manilow and the Village People for hours.

Thanks again Chris. The PLBC owes you.


sorry for the large pics, too lazy to resize.

Doh! My bad.

[Onthewater]

I'll use this thread to ... show off ... the new threads. Last year was hats, this year shirts, what is next? I should have done this a long time ago. This stuff is very affordable, about 50% of retail on a comparable shirt/hat. Ripped out over 60 shirts.

[Deuce]

Here are a few from the back of my boat....and one inside the boat that I am very proud of as well.... Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

[surroundsound64]

Here is about the extent of my foiling abilities!

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y140/surroundsound64/Picture055.jpg

[bkhallpass]

Hey Hollywood,

You have one of those PLBC T-shirts that I can buy from you at Green Lake??? XL.
BKH

[Hollywood]

You got it pal. I think we're gonna have to order more XLs already.
:shock:

[bkhallpass]

Terrific. I'm in. BKH

[Onthewater]

still can't figure out the fascination with the stuff we "create" but I am not complaining. I'll throw some more pictures up tonight, Hollywood himself modeling.

[bkhallpass]

Not that complicated OTW. Just seems like a bunch of good young guys, having a lot of fun, doing some good for your friends, giving some pulls to the kids out there. Makes me smile. Saw your shirts and said, gee, I'd like to have one of those. BKH

[surroundsound64]

I seemed to have missed it... what are the midwest rippers?

[Onthewater]

BKH. It is all good, I'll probably run across a few of our shirts in my travels. I didn't mean it in a negative way.

surround, MidWest Rippers is a self given name to our group of buddies that tear it up on the water, the mother club, the PLBC (powers lake boat club) was formed as a bit of an "up yours" to the local yacht club (if you call a bunch of rich pr*cks with pontoons and inboards a yacht club). It seems that they have a problem with younger people that aren't their children enjoying the lake, listening to music, having a few beers, and actually using our nautique for something other than tubing. On occasion we ski around in costumes, wigs, suits, etc. just to change it up and grap some attention, sometimes the wrong kind of attention, but none the less. We have come to the conclusion that their wakeboards and surfboard are bolted into the racks on their towers. So we formed out club to somewhat make them feel like their club is no more important than ours. I honestly cannot believe the exposure the website has gotten and the number of random people that have seen the hats (and soon to be shirts) and the website.

Bottom line, we are just a bunch of guys and girls that love hanging out at the lake and on the water and a handful of gentlemen than can tear up the water behind a boat, not driving our new SANTEs or X whatevers full out across the lake and racking up 10 hours a season.

But it is all good, we keep doing what we do, I think they understand we are a decent group and have learned to tolerate us. We are helpful to other boaters and quite polite. So there will be many more pics of showing off coming, most likely every weekend.

Wow, that got out of hand.
Yo Hollywood, anything to add?

[ScarletArrow]

OK - I'm a midwestern guy...I've seen a snow capped mountain once in my life...this Utah lake looks unbelievable...tell me more.

[Rhode]

Hollywood and OTW are about the only ones on this site with any sack and attitude and that is why I've had 15 or so of their shirts on lockdown for months now and am now waiting for delivery. I want to see PLBC ink on them, though, and not just on the 50/50 t's before taking this ballhang to the next level.

:mrgreen: Hangin' low.

OTW pretty much covered it all. The PLYC was around first. We've been frequenting the same lake for just as long, and have been shunned the last few years. Money can't buy happiness...or us off a public lake.

Duece, cute kid, I got the same glasses.

[Quinner]

I was fortunate enough to ski with Hollywood and OTW plus a few of the "Pretty Long Ball Club members last weekend, good time and good guy's, hope to hook up with them again soon.

Looks like I am going to need a couple of those shirts, probably will hold off on the Tatoo for a while yet though.

[Rhode]

I've been skateboarding pools and ramps three or four times a week since the beginning of the year and will just be getting my boat in the water this weekend. It's been too long since getting some water time and I am looking forward to it immensely.

[Deuce]

Few from last weekend....

E.J., all of a sudden I'm a surfing fan!

Nice shots all!

Mikeski, what's up with your grip? I had a problem with mine until one season I just started fresh with the right grip and now feels natural finally, after feeling totally awkward for many years.

[Deuce]

Hollywood, unfortunatly that light sucks. Here is a better one of her doing an invert...... Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

its a sh*t load easier to control the board than "sandals". The guy isn't talking about doing a pete rose or anything. Just trying to help the fella out

[smay1981]

Yup, I've been meaning to get some boots...but I spend most of the time driving the boat while the kids are skiing, boarding etc.... :grin:

Take it easy there big guy......I think most intelligent people would understand that boots are better than sandals to take it to the next level. This is a thread about showing off, not what am I doing wrong. I'm sure there was a bit or sarcasm in his "big air" comment.
