"Wally Gator Land" at Canyon Lake, Lost Lake runs with the OCJSC guys... Playing with the Marine MPs at Pendleton wave jumping. We rode those things all freakin day.

nice, we must of been out on some of the same big days, we rode "dmj's" 3-4 times a week - mp's loved us - :rolleyes:
I used to work with Marty Moates (before he got into No Fear). We'd ditch half day all the time and launch down in O'Side. Had a blast. That guy was sure hard on equipment... Blew his hood off and sunk it in the waves - BS'd the MP's into towing his ski out through the sand to the road next to the 5 and that's where I picked him up... :) If we werent riding 'em we were fixing 'em...

Haven't seen him in maybe ten years - used to date my sis. Still at No Fear maybe with the twins? Never thought I was going to die until I went down to a Mexico race with that guy... Between the race and the bars, crashing his big Ford into the wall at the hotel one night, adventures all of them...

There was a whole crew of us that worked for Slemon's that did that stuff. Can't believe we survived some of that crap.

Ok, call me a lake lice or whatever, but I still love the stand ups, and I can't believe the crazy sh*t they are doing now! I'm just getting too old and it's friggin painfull to ride anymore, so I sold my JS550 last year. Also, I'm just wondering...does anybody else own a copy of Jet Dreams on VHS? The 1988? "world Tour Warmup" is a good one too. I dug these out of the basement last summer and couldn't stop laughing. I think I could have won the Freestyle competition, it's freaking hilarious. Everybody is wearing neon pink and green. "He's riding with no hands! Amazing!" :crossx:..."Check out the new X-2." My favorite, very stoned sounding Chris Fischetti quote from the video.. "With my Oakley blades, I blaze right through the competition like x-ray..huh, yeahh" LMAO
My Lice video collection. Highly recomended viewing :p

I still have two 550's in perfect condition on a trailer in the garage i haven't used in years anybody want to buy them :D I sure they need batteries. I used to love riding these things it wasn't like the sit downs that you could master in ten minutes. Lot of good times.

[waterwitch]

When I was "younger" I was in love with Chris "the flying fish" Fishety.
I have to laugh, cause now he sells real estate in Havasu along with 800
other people.
WOW. what a change
