NEW VIDEO-- Grab-A-Licious--

wakejunkeygirl · Posted: Jun 04, 2004 9:44 pm Post subject: NEW VIDEO-- Grab-A-Licious--

Here is this weeks 'progression video' -- riding from Friday/June 4th
it has been one week since I posted 'Hang Time' -- riding from Friday May 28th
and I went out two times in the past week.

I promised some grabs...and here they are!

I am so happy and had a blast today.

also tried a HS 180 w2w for the first time. got up and around.landed...but didnt sSTICK the landing. slid out.
trying again tomorrow and hopefully my next video will have that and my TS w2w that I am now working on!

Very happy with my grabs..Indy and tail and did one roast beef!!
also did a 180 surface off the wake (something new I had never tried before)

let me know what ya think. I am trying to learn something new each time I go out!

I think the song is fitting! Enjoy

Thanks girls!

I am SOO happy that I tried that first grab last week...Now I don't even wanna just do a w2w..I GOTTA throw a grab in there for style!!! Cool

I feel like in the last few weeks I have put 100% into when I am out there everytime..and I am now starting to notice results.

going today...tired..this is my third day in a row...but gotta try to pull SOMETHING new out. Wink

good luck lizrd. throw up some footage.

Dang...getting some really good air on some of those! Nice vid as always.

I went out just once this weekend but one of the guys brought his camera so might be able to get my hands on that. Saw myself for the first time in awhile...well it feels alot bigger than it looks is all I can say Smile

I went out there thinking about trying 180s and got to thinking should get ollie 180 first so tried that. Didn't get it Puppy Eyes

Did clean my clock pretty good on an attempt though Smile

Need to push down more on my lead leg...wasn't getting squat on ollies at all so guess need to work those out first. *sigh* Baby steps I reckon Smile

Thanks Indy! I got a little ballsy and went for it!
Wink

I was gonna ask how your ridin' was comin along!! doesnt that suck? when it feels so huge then u watch the video and your like..'Wait..no,,it had to be bigger than that!!!' LOL.
dont feel bad. I am gonna work on ollie 180's myself. I can do surface like a dream..but have yet to get those ollie's. I have done one ollie 180 and it was back when I first started. mine is the same problem as yours..push down more..squat.

oh well. I am going out today at 1. (by myself) all the other girlies backed out.. Crying or Very sad

indy- try to get ahold of the video!! I wanna see!! (or was it stills)? either or!
bring it sistah! Mr. Green

how is the temp in indy right now??? hot?

Temp right now is pretty warm like mid 80's this week...not warm enough for my taste though. I'm one of those crazies who asks throughout the summer "when are those 90's gonna get here" Smile

Maybe I'm a misplaced Floridian. It was pretty chilly on Saturday when went out...mid 60's I would think but that was also at 6:30 in da morning.

It was some of those actual moving pictures that I might be able to get ahold of Smile

Need to save up some money for a digi cam. Don't know why but I'm itching to show you guys my lack of skills Laughing

I was going to try to get out there today but looks like not going to happen *sigh* I need to start buying lottery tickets...then wouldn't have this damn job getting in the way of my riding.

EXCELLENT!!!! You look way more confidant than in the past. You are getting some nice air too. Way to go!

wakejunkeygirl · Posted: Jun 07, 2004 10:56 am Post subject:

Thanks Wawake--I FEEL more confident. I just got home. I took some pretty hard falls today attempting my latest venture: the HS W2W 180. still didnt stick it..but tried hard! and my TS w2w. had a few really nice tail grabs and Indys and some BIG w2w's! Even after my hard crashes today, I was like...'lets go, I gotta try and land this w2w 180!!! off to the Ibuprofen bottle now...but man this ringing in my head is SO worth it!

Indy--I can't wait to see your moving pix! *don't say 'lack of skills' say 'Stuff I am PERFECTING at this time' Laughing

yes, off to work tomorrow for me no riding till the weekend...back to the grind. Confused

Indy--- Did I hear right..you are coming to St. Pete..??? (well, Treasure Island)??
shoooot...let a girl know! Very Happy

Sho nuff am going to be down there! Did I not mention that already? Yeah we'll be down there for a long weekend...July 15-19. Definitely have to hook up and ride one of those days. The in laws are flying us down there so it'll be for the most part a family affair but we can creep off for a ride for a bit Smile

Wow your improving alot! Its great to see how much your progress and how much more confortable you look out there through the video's, keep them up!

I rode behind an x-80 two days ago..... Puppy Eyes

It was scary hah. It was a dual engine, so you had to go quite a bit faster to keep the wake clean. It throws a massive wake though! But what do you expect from a 28 ft boat! Filling up the gas tank was $400!!!

indywakechica · Addict Joined: 07 Jul 2003 Posts: 645 City: Indianapolis

No friggin way!! $400??!! That's nuts!

The first time I rode behind a friend's brand new Malibu was a bit scary...the wake was a bit intimidating at first.

indywakechica, Yea insane huh! But it was a dual engine, so the gas tank was huuge. And its $3.45 a gallon on the lake right now Shocked

ouch

OMG - I've seen one of the x80's up close... I swear the tower is like one of those massive metal swingset that you find in park!! I can only imagine the wake!

wjg - you are getting huge air! My grom taped me this weekend. I have yet to see it tho... will be editing it this week. Keep rockin!

Angi,

I finally got a chance to watch the videos (I really can't do it here at work and it takes forever to load at home). Great job. You are really progressing!! Keep it up.
