Pictures

Well, as I promised long ago, (and which Elicia only remembers, if her) I am posting pictures of me wake-skating now that they are on the computer. :D Some of these are really cool.



This one is pretty standard. I'm just cutting out for a jump, but even so, this is reasonably difficult since I have to be all twisted around like I am and there are no fins on the board.



This one is just pretty hilarious. To happen to catch that moment is priceless. :)



And here I going for the big air. :) I can now easily jump from one wake to the other on the wake-skate. Also, despite what you may think, the board stays with one quite nicely in the air (so long as one executes the jump properly). It is also super fun to do. :D

A trick that I've been working on that can't really be shown in a picture is a pop shove-it.

Once I get that down a bit better (like, I can land it with any sort of consistency), I want to get be able to do a pop shove-it while jumping the wake. :) It's something of a goal for next summer.

Oooo, cool! Pictures! :D The one where you're falling looks like it's about to be rather painful. . . It also very nicely defines all the muscles in your arm. lol Arnold. ;)

Cool pictures
Haha, I love the one of you making out with the water while wake-skating.

Elicia: It actually wasn't painful at all. That's the nice thing about a wakeskate: the falls almost never hurt. lol And yes, it does make my arm muscles look rather big, but trust me, it's all shadows. ;)

Carpenter: . . . .Would that be the picture where I'm falling, or are you merely and facetiously referring to some fictitious picture? Anyway, assuming you are speaking of wipe-out, yes it is a very fun photo. :)

Oh yes the second one is most definitly a fav. you wouldn't mind if i used it as a computer background would you?lol

Heirron said...

lol I wouldn't mind at all. If I don't mind posting on the internet, clearly I don't mind it being used elsewhere. ;)
