Well today I dusted off my zodiac, found a full wetsuit and went wakeskating in the ocean. It was my first ride since last august, and my first ride since my knee surgery. I got some footage. I suck, the editing is bad, but hey...I'm stoked to be back.

Ctipping, nice one. I've torn my ACL twice (decided to skip recon this time) and totally understand how good it is to be back.

Keep on riding!

Raven, thanks haha....I originally partially tore it by landing with a hyperextended knee last march, then I fully tore it in june jumping on a trampoline...

It's been just under six months....I've been rehabbing the shizzle out of it and it's not 100%, but I braced it up and It works fine.

Nice riding man good to see your back on the board.

Where abouts are you riding there? horseshoe bay area?

You said you were looking for me people to ride with in BC, would love to come out and ride Smile

I'm not very good though and havent been out at all this year.

Probaby won't get a chance until may. Sad

It's funny how you went skating, and here on the mainland we got a decent amount of snow today. Slushy snow, but snow none the less.

Ronin, I'm in esquimalt bay on Vancouver island, but I'll be making a few trips in land...I'm trying to shoot a video with a few riders from vancouver as well....

buuut...
I went riding again just now and I got a few tricks back... I landed a few ollie bs180s, and i/o bs 180 and a fs lip to shuv....I also tried a couple kickflips to no avail....
god it's good to be back!

No problem, Im about 30mins outside of Van.

I'm on the island sometimes near Nanaimo, I still need to hit Beaver up on his offer of some free pulls, hopefully this summer.

I mostly ride up at the Shuswap though.

Shuswap is damn nice. I've ridden there once. You gonna hit up the tournaments at all this summer?

Beaver, and that was?

Ronin · Posted: Feb 26, 2007 9:53 pm Post subject:

I might hit up the last tourney near Labour Day in Abbotsford if I improve enough in the AM division.

Ctipping · Posted: Feb 26, 2007 10:04 pm Post subject:

Ronin, the AM division is really odd...I'd ride in as many tournies as I could if I were you. The first one will be a lil awkward (not to say it's a bad atmosphere...it's really welcoming...just when you first get there it's a lil intimidating) but when you get used to the scene it's soo fun.

Ronin, for sure you do. Anytime, just let me know. Ive got a winch,ski and a boat. Come on over.

it would be cool to put together a video of some of the riders in bc, i will be at most of the stops this year we should make it happen. do some filming of the actual event and free riding afterwards. i can probobly take some people out at the kelowna stops, ive got a ski, boat and a decent camera
