Still riding?

DRAGON88 · Posted: Oct 13, 2010 10:02 pm Post subject: Still riding?

Anyone else, aside from southern riders with no winters period, still getting some good riding time in? Fall and early spring are honestly my favorite riding times, hardly any boats out on the lake and lots of butter.

Hoping to make it into mid November, before I finally winterize.

Gonna be camping at the lake this weekend and plan to do some more riding. I'm hoping to make it to mid-November, as well. What are you're water and air temps?

Our water is down in the 60's and air temps are still in the 70's during the day.

Southern and still riding (though I broke my board). Already thinking about fall\winter rail project though.

Gonna make a OWC and McCormicks trip next week...stoked.

Still riding and even better now. Pushing myself even harder cause I know time is limited Smile

Air temps in the 70s and water temp is 63-65. We keep boating regularly and I keep taking my board but I haven't ridden yet with the air temp below 80. Hopefully change that tomorrow. I'm sure I'll have to drain the block a couple times but hoping to hold off full-fledged winterizing until mid-November this year.

been done since august 26. Haven't been able to head home any weekend and go. Uncle got out on the slalom the other day, but we'll probably winterize by months end.

Went out Monday. Lake was great. Living down south works for me.

Was out Sunday and will be out this weekend. What's winterizing?

This was in January.

We ll be riding boat here in Blacksburg till probably mid-november. Weather has been pretty good to us, but we will be pushing the winterize envelope in November. But, there is no off season for us. The end of boat riding just means its winching season (taking the first winch trip tomorrow) and snowboard season. We'll winch until the lakes and ponds freeze solid, then we'll just winch in the snow.

Still trunked it this week. Cant complain

LFADAM, I was just thinking about winching in the snow not even an hour or so ago. You're talking about winching with your snowboard right?

Aside from the state being broke, CA has some perks. Should be riding some this weekend, might have to take my spring suit with me. Air is supposed to be in the 80s.

This is what it looked like last October.

damn.

LFADAM · Posted: Oct 14, 2010 1:28 pm Post subject:

JeffreyCH, both. We winched wakeboarding in the winter, we did winch snowboarding, and we kind of combined the two. http://vimeo.com/8006566 Laughing

I would be riding but the burb is in the shop getting the transmission worked on. We've got a new baby that I want to ride so bad with no truck to pull it. Drives me nuts. I would be riding into november if we had that truck dangit.

i would still be riding, but i have no one to ride with
only got out 2 times this year cause the guy i ride with will only ride in lake mead.
i can't afford to go to vegas more than a couple times a year.
if i can find someone to ride with this fall/winter i'll be out riding till next summer

Still riding, but I do live in the south, water temp yesterday was 72 same as last week down form the mid 80's a month ago but still good to go. I will probably keep at it untill the temps get into the low 60's

DRAGON88, Don't forget your shoes.

Jensen, Where is that and how far is it from Rocklin?

Definitely one of the best looking wakesetters out there. No graphics FTW.

Jensen · Posted: Oct 15, 2010 10:19 am Post subject:

J-Ro, Those shots were from my friends lake in Chico. Its a set up like villa lagos

Trying to ride at Clementine or CFW this weekend, Not sure if i'll have a tow vehicle though, want to take advantage of this warm weather while its still here.

J-Ro · Posted: Oct 15, 2010 12:15 pm Post subject:

Jensen, Is it bigger than Villa Lagos? I always feel like I am sprinting when I ride there. We always hit Clementine in the winter when no one is there. I hate the drive down.

Apperantly, I'm going this weekend. In So. Missouri, the lake temps are in the 60's and I hope to keep going into November as well. The water might be in the upper 50's by then. Shocked

a "heater shirt" is a great investment.

Got out last Sunday for a sunset session. 54* water 70* air. Trunking it, cold but after jumping in and letting out an embarrassing scream you forget all about the cold... Until it's time to jump back in for your next set. lol

Ordered a 4/3 Oneil Psycho, that should arrive in time for next weekend. Should be able to push into Nov if the overnight temps stay above freezing.

From last weekend...
