So does anyone ride up here?

I ride on the Fox River in Elgin, which is about 45 mins west of the city. It's not a bad drive, just straight out on I-90.

Greg, I may or may not have ridden/drank with you at a collegiate tournament 4 or 5 years ago in central Illinois.

That does sound like I like to do... Was it the tournament Ohio State put on at a tiny ski lake with a water slide?

And I've heard about riding on the Fox River. Are you going out there any time soon?

I don't know if Muckmeister still rides, but I think he was from Chicago

Jacque mehoff might be a source. I'm pretty sure he's in Illinois, but they do some riding in southern Wisconsin.

You might want to check and see if the aacadia 2.0 is open also. I think you can find out more on Facebook.

It's good to see you on here Greg! I hope you find some people to ride with!

I don't think so. My school, Illinois State, hosted it at a lake in Gibson City we used to ski at. I just remember the wakeskater on Ohio State got reasonably close to a w2w kickflip and thought it may have been you.

Anywho, I go back down to school Sunday night, but pm me your number and if your schedule is flexible there's a good chance I'll be going out Saturday or Sunday. And it'll be good to have for future reference, seeing as none of my friends that I ride with here wakeskate.

electricsnow, thanks.. Yeah it's been a while since I've been on here. I'll try to find that person in the list of people.

lhsxc22, I know where you are talking about. That was me... I mostly remember sleeping about 2 feet from the fire until they woke me up for my run. I'll PM you my phone number

Thanks for posting that Scott.'I just read my post and realized my tablet spell corrected his name and made me look totally crass in the process. Embarassed

I rode with him and doublecheese (or however it's spelled) and they're both really good guys.

Thanks... Hopefully I can do some riding before it's winter here. It feels like it will be snowing in a few weeks from what people tell me up here
