Hey guys!

Not a Sask Rider (from AB), but Miller told me about this so I thought I would come see what the plan is, might be able to make it out that way.

I am deff interested, so i'll stay tuned & see where this goes

So I'm late to the party, but I'll be moving in 2 weeks to Williston, North Dakota about 30mins from the border.

Just trying to see where everyone rides?

I'm moving for work so that will be my main thing but i would love to meet up for some shredding.

Steven M, What are you doing for work up there?

Steven M · Posted: Mar 12, 2011 11:41 pm Post subject:

nick, my uncle moved there about a year ago for construction. So anything he can get me on with.

But the area is booming and in need of workers. so entry level places will pay 10-13 an hour for a 50 hr weeks.

Heard McDonalds was starting out a $12

Steven M, you are more than welcome to attend.

Anytime you want to ride, give me a shout.

Steven M · Posted: Mar 13, 2011 12:23 pm Post subject:

miller, will do. I'm not moving till the 25th/26th, so it would be mid April till I could ride but I will definitely be giving someone a shout and making my first trip to Canada.

Whats the weather/ water like in that area from April - August?

The ice will leave end of April.

We are planning a trip down to a heated lake by Estivan so that will be an hour from you

miller, sounds like a good time. I'll know more about my schedule when I get to ND but I have no problem driving to ride. I can drive boats, PWCs winches and always bring gas money.

Havent got to ride since last summer before I had knee surgery, minus a handful of winch pulls.

Ok party people, let's get the ball rolling again.
Here is a email I just sent that might help some of you out -

This has been an idea that I have had for some time now, years infact, and it is time to make this a reality.

Wakeskating is way to important to me to see it not be pushed to new levels and I feel that this is the best way to do it around here.

This is event is going to be put on for Riders by Riders and is going to be done right.

We discussed exactly how we want this to go down and any possible issues. It was a very productive meeting and it will be a good time. We want people at this event that can contribute something positive.

I could go on all day but how about I just address your questions.
You are on my list of invitees as you are a positive influence within wakeskating.
The building is going to be done well in advance and will be transported to the location and then returned to the owners afterward. In my case, I am bringing my winch, a kicker, and a couple floating features. I personally will have two big loads of stuff. Cost for this event is going to be up to the individuals attending. Everyone is responsible for themselves. We are going to try and keep cost to a minimum so that as many as possible can attend.

Feel free to hit me with any questions, comments or concerns.
Jeff Miller

Whats the deal with the heated lake? Howzit heated?

miller · Backside 180 Joined: 08 Aug 2004 Posts: 2394 City: Regina

FreeLifeClothing, it is heated by a power plant.

mmmm sounds greasy, love it.
What is the lakebed like? can we pound in some features?

miller · Backside 180 Joined: 08 Aug 2004 Posts: 2394 City: Regina

FreeLifeClothing, I have only been there once and it was seven years ago so my recollection is fuzzy. I am sure there would be some great winch spots.

Speaking of greasy, I was just out skateboarding and noticed a construction site with left over lumber, huge pumbing pipes and all sorts of stuff that I could use. I think I might head back there later tonight, borrow some stuff and snowboard.
