i rode tonight(tues). hopefully we will be riding tomorrow. definatly warm enough to ride without a wet/dry suit.

Sinkoumn · Posted: Oct 07, 2003 6:57 pm Post subject:

rode this afternoon (tuesday), with no wetsuit; just board, shorts, and vest. It wasn't too bad, just the first fall where you dunk your head in the water was a shock Shocked

, but the air temp more than made up for it. Going out tomorrow too. Laughing

Sinkoumn - where are you riding at?

coreym · Outlaw Joined: 22 Aug 2003 Posts: 190 City: Eagan, MN

We'll be out this weekend in Mankato, most likely for the last time this year. Sad

Hard to believe it's over but it really hit when I bought the Buck Hill pass last week.

Sinkoumn,

Yeah, where do you ride at? I'm on the U of MN campus every day working (not riding though) and when ever I walk over the washington street bridge, I think of
how sick it'd be to cut up that river.

Sinkoumn · Posted: Oct 07, 2003 9:09 pm Post subject:

That's where we ride, only upstream from the city, cause the water under the washington ave bridge is kinda nasty. If you know where the river rats practice that's where we ride. Tomorrow we're going to ride from 3:30 to sundown, Very Happy

Sinkoumn · Posted: Oct 07, 2003 9:12 pm Post subject:

coreym, how much was that buck hill pass? Do you know what afton charges for a pass?

somepunk22 · Addict Joined: 31 Jul 2003 Posts: 898 City: Minnesota

i'm going for the pass to hyland. lots of rails and nice jumps.

coreym · Outlaw Joined: 22 Aug 2003 Posts: 190 City: Eagan, MN

Sinko,

When else are you guys riding, I should have checked this site earlier today Sad

? How exactly do you get there? It'd be cool to check you guys out.

Sinkoumn · Posted: Oct 08, 2003 7:41 pm Post subject:

We're riding tomorrow too (thursday), if it's not windy as all h3ll again like today. Basically, from como get onto stinson, the left on broadway, take that for a long time, you'll go over the river then turn right at that big broadway pizza train car thing. Go straight until you run into a dead end and a bunch of cars around an empty boat trailer. Those are kinda ghetto directions, but whatever, it's not too hard to find. If you go over the river on Broadway you can see us on the left hand side (we run bridge to bridge usually).

Sweet! I'll try to bail from work early tomorrow.

BTW, the Buck pass was $265 before Oct. I think it has gone up now.

For us alpline racing free carver snowboarders, Highland is a bit to small (cuz buck is SO HUGE), the only other place I'd consider a pass to is Welch but that's a bit of a drive every night.

I was out yesterday with the wife and a buddy from work. It was definitely not warm.

If you want a laugh, I took video.

Big files. Don't laugh, Jeremy has been boarding just this year and I've been up on a board about 5 times. Wifey just got up on a ski in August.

Guess us old foagies got a wild hair up our asses and decided to get active Smile

Diamond Lake in Dayton. Not huge, but close to the house.

I think it's time to put the boat away though, the water was pretty cold. Glad I got one more chance to ride my new board. Next year I vow to get better Smile

Didn't ride today Mad

(too windy, plus all the other people that were supposed to go are flakes). HOPEFULLY going tomorrow, but it is supposed to be as windy, if not more, so we'll see.

WaKevin · Posted: Oct 10, 2003 6:35 am Post subject:

Man i so sick of the wind, we have only couple of times to get out this year and the wind is just ruining it. but if i have the chance i still try to get out. hopefully the wind calms down for the last few times that i get out.

Sinko,

I ran over there quickly after work last night to check it out and saw that it was a bit choppy. It's cool that I now know where the river rats hang. Are you in that show?

coreym · Outlaw Joined: 22 Aug 2003 Posts: 190 City: Eagan, MN

Well accoring to Ken Barlow and Dave Dahl this weekend is it for us in MN, for those who haven't already wound up the rope for the last time this year. I'd be real interested to hear who still rides after this Sunday. I'll be out Sunday but then that's it. Sad

Sinkoumn · Posted: Oct 10, 2003 10:46 pm Post subject:

The odds that we will ride again are good (Just not without drysuits). It's not too bad, but the damn wind seriously needs to quit blowing at 22mph directly up the river. Mad

coreym · Outlaw Joined: 22 Aug 2003 Posts: 190 City: Eagan, MN

58 degree water in Mankato today, not as bad as I was expecting for my last time out this year. Smile

I went riding for the last time about a week ago up on Lake Vermilion. Wetsuits were a must. water in the upper 40's low 50's. not smart idea, but fun. have not seen anyone out either on Vermilion or on Forest Lake.

somepunk22 · Addict Joined: 31 Jul 2003 Posts: 898 City: Minnesota

Had a couple sessions yesterday(sunday) on Christmas lake with just boardshorts.

I live in Michigan, and i went last Saturday. The water was freezing, i didnt want to find out but the air was like, 77 so as long as you didnt fall, it was ok.

Sinkoumn · Posted: Oct 14, 2003 8:29 pm Post subject:

Going out Saturday, weather permitting. High of 67, Westernly wind. Very Happy

Sinkoumn, Do you mind if I show up? Will you be off Broadway again? It should be pretty calm with a westernly wind on the river there. What kind of boat are you ridin behind? If you ever need another rider/driver, I'm close, cell#612-290-3893
