So I am off to Tennessee again for the second time this month only this time Im headed to Knoxville for a MasterCraft rail jam. I am going to be greeted at the airport by fellow CWB teammate Derek Grasman, and the world renound, Jeff House, who is from those neck of the woods. It should be a fun time, like Derek said, there should be about 300,000 people there and we will be competeing to $10,000 in prize money. Im sure I can expect some ATLeians to be there as well. should be a fun weekend.

So I spent the last week hanging out in Connecticut. One of my good friends, Massive, is from up there, he now lives in Orlando. So I get up there and immediately we start blowing shit up and having a blast (sorry for the cursing). Im gonna have to figure out how to post pics, but I got to shoot some guns, that most people will never see. I got to shoot a Smith and Wesson 500, which is a .50 cal round, but the bullet is the size of a stick of chapstick, and it kicks harder that a deer rifle. I also got to shoot a Smith and Wesson 460. This was a hand gun as well that kicked harder than the 500. Next I fired some sort of semi auto firearm that had been converted to full auto. We opened up 30 round clips into 2 propane tanks beside each other and a barrel of 110 octane gasoline on top of those….that was quite an explosion. Then I got to shoot a fully automatic Oozie with 30 round clips. You could empty all 30 of the bullets in the clip in 3 seconds literally. The guy Steve, who had all the artillery was an ex navy seal who spend 10 months underwater on a submarine working on a nuclear reactor. Well apparently he saved the best for last. It was some sort of 308 full auto, kill anything that got in its way gun. This gun was so loud and he said that it would cut right through a car given enough rounds. As soon as I figure out how to post pics, Ill let you guys see them. This was day one.

Over the next few days, I spend a lot of time riding motocross. I rode at some track up there that they were calling Tony’s. Im getting fast on a bike and Im gonna ride the AMA outdoor Nationals in Southwick Mass next year..I wish. On Thursday, we headed to NYC, Ive never been there so it was quite a trip. We bought first class train tickets there from New Haven CT. We got there early enough to be at the closing bell of the market on Wall St. Then we did a little shopping, which I never do, but theres a bunch of cool stuff there. After dinner we headed out on the town and let me tell you, that place doesnt sleep at all, I think we left the bar early at 5:30 am and there was still a bunch of people out.

Friday, we went to Killington Vermont to do some downhill mountain biking on the ski resorts, which was hard due to the night before.

Saturday and Sunday, I spent the afternoons in Southwick Massichusetts (spelling) watching the AMA Outdoor Nationals Supercross event. Those guys that race those 250′s and 450′s are incredible.

Now its monday and Im sitting in the Hartford Int’l airport and Im delayed due to the weather in Atlanta, go figure. I guess im not supposed to land until midnight now. Nice.

Alright, that was my fun trip, that really consisted of no wakeboarding, but over the next 2 weeks, Ill be riding my but off getting ready for the World Championships in Oklahoma.

So far the month of August has been a pretty good month, of course most of them are good so I guess this month is hardly any different. I started off the month at home getting ready for the U.S. Nationals where I rode decently, I made it to the semi finals, which isnt to bad. From there I headed to Garden City Beach, which is a quaint little town with nothing to do just north of Charleston. I was there to spend a little time with the family for vacation. Then I headed to Nashville, TN. The country music capital of the world. I went there for a contest put on by TNT Watersports. The whole weekend was just a huge lake party with wakeboarding going on in the background, it was awesome. There are so many people stocked on wakeboarding. I got to meet a bunch of cool new people and ride with some really good riders from Tennessee. After the weekend, I stayed an extra day to get some riding in with Matt Simms and some other local Tennessee rippers, and had a really good time. I left Tennessee this morning to fly to Connecticut to meet up with my best friend Dave AKA Massive. Massive is 6’7″ and wakeboards an races moto, he’s a cool guy, anyway, he is from up here, and he is visiting home so I decided to come visit to shoot guns and ride tractors, and go out on the town in New York City. We are also going the Outdoor Nationals Motocross race at the world renound South Wick, which is in Mass. I have a feeling, its gonna be a pretty good week up here in New England. Im then driving back to Orlando to ride and start getting ready for the WWA World Championships held in Oklahoma City…yay cant wait to go there. Anyhow, its been a pretty fun month and now we are closing in on Surf Expo at the beginning of Sept. and the end of another good season.

So I went out today still pumped from yesterday and I did the regular toe 9 again and then today I learned a switch toe 9. It only took me a few tries. Hopefully I can keep them consistent, so far they seem pretty easy. It sure is nice to be home for a few weeks where I can ride out at the house everyday and and learn new stuff.

So I was out riding today after a long night last night, and I finally did what I thought I would never do, a toeside 900. I have been able to do several different 7′s wake to wake for a while and Ive done regular and switch heel 9′s of of the double up, but today marks a milestone in my wakeboarding, I did a 9 wake to wake, now I know your thinking, well everyone does wake to wake 9′s and your right, but for some reason I never had, I think it was a brain fart for me, but today it wasnt. Another motivator was that there are a few girl riders that are getting close to wake to wake toe 9′s and ill be damned if a woman did one before me, no offense to womens riding. So Im pretty confident that it is going to become pretty consistant, and I think tomorrow im gonna go out and learn a switch toe 9.

MasterCraft X-Stars wakes are the best
