Spring has sprung, riding has begun

Last Friday was the First Day of Spring, which marks the official end of winter. The only way to properly celebrate this day is to strap on a wakeboard and have a session. Most lakes around Northern Utah are still under the ice, but with a bit of work, they are ridable.

Our idea was simple; break a few sections out of the ice to act as pools, then use the frozen ice slabs in between as huge slider boxes. Why, because no matter how many times you may hear it, it is not a true ‘freeze ride’, unless something is frozen. It takes a certain breed of people to accomplish a task such as this. I knew just who to call. An old buddy of mine who is always in for anything, and never has a shortage of ideas, Stubbs. You can’t tackle the ice without the Winch Master himself, OMJ. Last but not least, my off-season riding buddies, the Down For The Ride crew, Josh and David.

We were greeted by the Sheriff when we arrived. Although he voiced his opinion on how stupid he thought we were, he wished us the best of luck and went on his way. We fired up the Pulldozer Winch and it was time for awesome. Stubbs took care of the first set to make sure everything was legit. He even had a speedo run to prove how nice the weather was. Josh followed up with a 180 on 180 out on the first ’slider’ finishing with a back side 180 on the second hit. He later threw down some sick tail press action. I jumped in next with no awesome, but after switching to Josh’s Roam it was on with the back lip steez on the first slider to 540 on the second ice box.

This was apparently about the time when someone took it upon themselves to call the ranger. It must have looked like we were having too much fun. Needless to say, we were politely shut down and booted out of Jordanelle. The reason; we were not participating in the “normal usage of the state facility”.

I thought wakeboarding was normal.

Note: WakeUtah does not advise any sort of activity on any body of frozen water. It is dangerous. You may die. Also, please be courteous to any ranger, state park official, or sheriffs you may encounter in your wakeboarding, wakeskating, or winching activities. If they ask you to leave, please do so. Do not argue, you will not win, you will only give all of us wakeboarders a bad reputation. We must join together and go about our fights the proper way. I will personally, along with all of us must, always jump through any hoops in the proper order and submit the correct paper work to ensure everyone may enjoy and participate in our sport in years to come.

Dewey’s Rail II Recap

For some it started with a four drive from Vegas, while others made the 2 hour drive from Salt Lake, but once you got to Delta everyone had the same goal, to conquer the sixty foot rail that stood perched outside of the Webster’s house. Those who decided to come up the night before were rewarded with a night session that went till around 2 am. After starting a fire on the beach and throwing a couple of spotlights on the rail, it just seemed too good of a setting to pass up. It was one of the best rail sessions I have been at. After a quick nights sleep under the stars it was time to start the competition. After talking with the riders we decided to run head to head brackets with each rider getting three hits at the rail. After everyone got a chance to hit the rail and try all the different flavors of Zotes Sunflower Seeds, it came down to a show down between Ethan Roberts, Marc Glover, & Ryan Webster. Despite some really impressive attempts by Ethan & Marc it was Webster’s consistency that got him first place. Altogether the event made for some perfect footage for everyone who is getting stuff put together for the ‘Get into X-Dance Contest.’

Results:

1. Ryan Webster

2. Ethan Roberts

3. Marc Glover

Thanks to the Webster’s for letting everyone come down and crash their back yard and to all the sponsors: Zotes Sunflower Seeds, Fred’s Marine, Utah Water Sports, D.F.T.R.

Next Rail Jam Sept 5th Seven Peaks Wave Pool, stay tuned this one is going to be hot.
