Goochy, its always so nice to see another handicapable person pushing the limits. I ride a similar set up and have an awesoome time. The guy in the video is a guy from TN named Russell Rodriquez, he is awesome! Im hoping to hang with him this summer and learn this "backroll".

Let your buddy know that WWA has announced two new divisions for limb loss or limb difference this year. There is a contest called The Extremity Games this year at TSR in June. He should check it out. We are having a WWA event in May in NC holding the first ever WWA sanctioned Extremity division.

ray4man, where do you ride?

pet575, You can usually find me at Stockton, MO most of the time. I have some buddies that run on Spring river in Kansas though and I go with them for a quick ride, too.

I can't wait for a sunny day.... all this rain is getting tiresome

pet575, if you ever know ahead of time when you might be at Stockton, "PM" me and I'll give you a pull. There's a place called Googers Cove where we hide from the wind, choppy water and sailboats. Very Happy

Nice to see some other MO folk's on here, I split my time between Smithville and Stockton (grew up 30 min south of there)
ray4man Where exactly is Googers cove? Last trip down there I stay'd over west of twin bridges in that long cove right next to the bridge. pretty smooth water and not much traffic.

jeeptchr, That is cool to see some "MO" people on here. A good friend of mine grew up on the lake in Smithville. Googers is the first long cove just north of Twin Bridges on the west side of the lake. It's actually across from Mutton Creek Marina. It occasionally gets busy but that's because the summertime south winds don't effect the cove as much.

Supposed to be 80-90 this weekend here in OK. Water temps are coming up, too. Last time out they were getting in the upper 50's.

ahh, think I spent a bit of time in that cove last time down, I'll post up when I head down that way this summer. If there's a whole bunch of us going we usually stay over at crabtree.

Great photos. I can't wait to get back out on the lake. This weather is so depressing. I am ready for summer.

jeeptchr, Where is crabtree.? Also my temp reading from a few weeks ago was off by more than just a couple of degrees. Stockton is now at 54. Crying or Very sad

It's been in the 90s in Austin. It's hard to believe it's April.

Of course, the downside to that is Lake Travis is slowly disappearing...again.

ray4man crabtree is over by the Quarry (party cove east of dam) nice campgrounds, and plenty of space to tie the boats up off shore overnight.
54 is plenty rideable, I think smithville is just now getting up to the lower 50's.
Last weekend I was cleaning a pond out with the trackhoe at the farms in Lockwood, the water there was plenty warm. (but the pond was only 3-6 foot deep) I was really tempted to do some redneck wakeboarding Very Happy
