The vid's not that bad - some good footage anyway.

That's a huge bummer about the knee though.

Yeah that definately does not look good. Looks like you'll be missing some of this gorgeous Texas weather we've been having...

Although, 8 weeks from now will be smack in the middle of June - you'll still have plenty of time to get back out on the water.

Well, hope you have a quick recovery. I hope to see some footage of the whirly in all its glory by July 1st.

will you be able to wakesurf or anything like that in like, 3 weeks when you can walk on it and probably jog some? murray did that with his knee...stopped wakeboarding, but still got some good surfing sessions in.

8 weeks is sure is fast to be back on the water after blowing out your knee. Usually its atleast like 6 months. Thats awesome though..Was it the whirly that did it?

Not a bad video at all. But the whole knee thing does suck, good luck with it.

Great Vid. Sorry about that knee. If this can be of any consolation to you, most people here won't ride for another 8 weeks. But that's because of our lousy weather!!

Best of luck on your recovery.

what really pisses me off it those were just his warm-up tricks. best of luck with the MRI results. i hope it's a minor as possible.

Great vid & sorry to hear about the knee. That new Tige sure throws a mean wake....everyone Brandon sells one too is having injury probs. Get well soon & hope to see you out on the river this summer. Maybe my kids can learn some moves from you.

jimb0, if all goes according to plan and its just my meniscal you'll be seeing a whirly 5 out of me by July 1st.

PMart, 06 CWB Absolute and I love it man it rides great, s great that Holloman rode it once and went out and bought his own haha.

ohio_wake_2008, I think so. I've got some sacks and my new tige with that taps so its ready to surf as soon as I am.

Phil, well the doc said its like 6weeks for a meniscal tear and thats what he thinks it is. Yea I tried throwing the spin a little later to add style and I felt myself coming up short and when I landed my knee kept rotating and I heard a pop and felt a ripping sensation.

brath5, My good friend Kyle Cramm just broke his femur in 3 places doing a w2w on a wakeskate so I think I'll stick to wakesurfing then wakeboarding haha.

JV, Yea I was hoping for some switch hs fs 5's and whirly 5's that day so I was trying to warm up a little quick so I could have more time to try them but look what happens when I rush haha.

HOLLOMAN101, You know me, Mr. amazing hahaha

HouTexwakeman, Right now after me, Cramm and Ace have all hurt ourselves in the last two weekends everyone is saying watch out those Tige's have KILLER wakes haha.

Everyone else thanks for the kind words and I'll keep ya updated.

As you can see I'm very bored and I will respond to everyone haha

bad news about the knee, good of someone to video it! I did my left knee last year and I can remember every single detail down to the pop......not wakeboarded this year since the op but I'm revving up to it.

Physio............tis the way forward.

that sucks with the knee man, especially so early in the season. I know how you feel - dislocated my right shoulder two friday's ago - probably gonna get surgery that'll put me out for most of the season...

You can do an indy fs hs 3? Ive never seen anyone do that trick in person...

K-wood Kid · Posted: Apr 18, 2006 1:40 pm Post subject:

Fauker, Sorry to hear that man, hope you heal quick! Rehab buddies haha.

Sorry I had a brain fart, I do hs fs 3's with mute grabs not indy

Nice video.. I wouldn't worry about editing as far as i would camera work. Your zooms were a lttle dramatic. But good job. I use windows move maker as well, and do a bunch of stuff on it. It's not too bad for stock software.

That sucks man. Nice vid. Hope you can get back on the water soon.

Fauker

They're going to do surgery on it? I'm surprised, usually they don't do the surgery after the first dislocation. I'd get a second opinion. I was at Physio last week and was talking with one of the guys that was doing the same kind of exercises that I was doing. He was at 5 months post surgery and was no where near getting back to normal stuff.

If you get your shoulder done now, December is probably when you're looking at for the earliest. If you don't do surgery until the fall you probably could get a couple of months of boarding in during the summer.

Kwood sorry to hear about your knee. Sucks to blow it out so early in the year.

shane does an indy hs fs 3 off a DU in relentless, it's awesome lookin

Shaun Murray does a hs f/s indy 3 off the du in Mayday.

Nelson does a t/s f/s indy 3 off the du in Hit it. Horrel does a sick one in Mayday too as well as a pretty sick method/melan b/s 180.

Off-handed grabs, or whatever they are called, are super-tech.
