Wakeboarding Magazine Letter of the Month

[nautique210]

I wrote into wakeboarding mag back when we had got busted for winching down at the lake on the ice. Anyways it made it into the mag, and I won a new wakeskate. Pretty cool i thought. Check it out if you get a chance. Also look at my other post about winching to see more photos.

RE: Wakeboarding Magazine Letter of the Month

i remember that. i just saw it a little while ago when i grabbed the mag out of my mailbox. i cancelled my subscription a while ago i thought but i keep getting them. i'm dropping wakemag and going alliance. it's way better.

ya i get both. I bought somthing from buy wake, and got the mag for a year for free.

Anyways, while riding over the weekend my buddy chad was doing huge front rolls all day, and they were looking real good. Then he ended up wrecking on one of them. I swung around to pick him up, and i asked if hes goin again, when he informed me that he broke his leg. He was not kidding! Snapped both Tibia and fibula! the bone came right out of his skin. I jumped in and we unbolted the bindings from the board then removed the one boot(good leg), we flew back to the launch and medics n police met us. Props to them, did a great job. It was quite a day on the lake...The funny thing is that the fish comission showed up and it was the guy who gave us the ticket from winching. Filled out a bunch of paper work with him, and we ran into him again in the ER. We BS'd for awhile and I ended up telling him that his face is going to be in the june issue. In the end he ended up being a good guy and said to swing over to their boat if we see him so he can check out the artical. Were trying to get in the "friend zone" with this guy, maybe save us on some fines next time.

WOW! I hope your friend is doing okay. I fractured a knee a few years back doing a front flip on 4th of July of all days. I under rotated and basically punched myself in the knee with the carbon handle. Doctors and MRIs are not fun.

How did he wreck?

holy crap! hope your buddy is ok. i think i would have passed out.

i'm cracking up though that you got pictures.

Wow. sorry to hear that. My kid wrecked his knee last year on his 250F. We have photos but guessing they are too gory for this forum. Hope your buddy is ok. That is a hard injury to recover from.

oh my god thats aweful. tell him good luck healing. my buddy just broke his tibia and dislocated his ball in his foot. he now has 2 plates and 13 screws.

[WakeSlayer]

dislocated the ball of his foot? Geezus.

[wakecrashin]

seriously lets see some pics... I posted a while back how my friends thumb got sliced off wake surfing... no complaints

[WakeSlayer]

Crashin, you need to clear up your inbox, I tried to send you the pic on PM, and got a message back that you do not have enough room to recieve it. It is not a big file, either.
