x-mas hit squad ... [Archive]

Well ... I'm still hung over and it's almost 24 hours from the ending of the 1st annual x-mas hit squad at Lake Elsinore yesterday ... I have 50+ pictures & videos that i will be posting ... but it was cold (well ... cold for us Calif. boys & girls ... something like 50 degrees) ... but we had a lot of fun!
Chris (cs19) was nice enough to pick me up at the house and take me along ... Ross (RCB19) was there with his clean ass Rogers, Chris's buddy Grant brought out the Caliber 1 stereo, RIPPINGNOLEGSKROKER had his bitchen twin turbo Shiada out there about 2 hours early ... but had to cruise after a while, Jordan (FuelInMyVeins82) was right there by my side as the only two there who's boats are torn down ...
It was a total blast ... everything from nursing hang over's to start off ... running the channel, making passes in Coors Light Cove, getting pissed off at two stupid seadoo guys, watching skydivers & running back at sunset ...
What a way to get ready for x-mas week!
Here's a taste of what I got ... our ride back to the out ramp:

You should be up for the "HARD CORE" HoatBoat awards. Its only die hard boat fans that put up with that kind of cold just to go boating.
Chris, whats with the smoking?
Why don't you guys call me in the spring when I have thawed out.

BRD,I have wet headers and I use a manual switch to control the on/off. I was turning it on and then they pulled up next to me, so I turned it off.what you were seeing was steam.

Chris that sure looked blueish, like oil. But with the color of that water it could have been just that. I didn't know your race boat ran water to the headers like a Lake Boat. J/K :cool:

"That's just insanity! I enjoyed that it was titled "Christmas Ride," as though it was some leisurely boating excursion around the lake and not some death by water race on the lake! Craziness." LMAO

Isnt the cove a no wake zone? :)
Yeah ... but when you have the chance ... and there isn't a sole on the lake except for you (lake patrol included) ... sometimes you have to just do it ...
plus after seeing all of the fun that Mike, Todd & Dave had out there doing it ... we just had to.
Wish you coulda been there ... it was a blast. :D

12-19-2005, 02:05 PM

i dont know what you're referring to. todd, dave and i were at a different lake, in a different county, that has different rules, that had no no wake zones, that has police but since they have better things to do, they do not patrol the lake. We were perfectly legal yes sir.

You got that right. We were trying to lay down some passes in the cove for some pics and vids and these two dick heads on the Sea Doos decide that the cove that we are in is where they want to start carvin turns. No brains no pains.
