Tennessee Mountains and Doing the “Dew” Wakestyle

On our way home from FL we stopped in the Nashville area to see friends and enjoyed some of the best water known to mankind. Center Hill lake was insanely smooth and so warm that it was almost too warm. Thanks to the Yawns for hosting us and Jason and Melea (and fam) for pulling us behind their Supra (and Joe for the Tige...even though we never met you while we were there?!?!).

If you are wondering about the music, the song is by the Pogues (read: my dad’s 80’s alternative collection) singing about the original Mountain Dew which was from “them there Tennessee parts” and wasn’t what it is today I’m told. Enjoy the video. I hope it makes you want to get out and ride.

The HOT Picnic

“The Picnic” was a fun time with Ronnie Romero and his crew. As always, it was a great event. Kyle Alberts made it a homecoming from FL and impressed everyone with his skilz. Brian White was also there representing Hyperlite with their great product. Lots of really good riding went down. Enjoyed winning the advanced division. Stay tuned to Wakeboard Nebraska for a recap of the festivities. I’m back in Florida for a week and then hoping to ride on the Center Hill Lake in Tennessee on the way home. *The pic here is with Ben Bazis who won outlaw.

Cable, Comps, & Coaching

We had a great time in the KC area over the weekend! Friday night we hit the cable park and rode with the rail master himself, Shane Bonifay. Shane had some helpful pointers for me on spins and was really fun to watch. He is recovering from his THIRD knee surgery—ouch. Saturday and Sunday meant winning x2 at wakeboard comps (dad got a 2nd and a 1st) and then another fun session at the cable. Hit the water again tonight (Tuesday) for some lessons with the Jensens. It’s always fun to watch riders progress and they are doing just that. Enjoy the video of some fun cable footage. No broken collarbones this time. Ride on. More pics here.
