Malibudude finally ran the course!

[kpickett]

Hey everyone.

Justin finally ran the full course today. He's been knocking on the door for a while, now, getting to five ball a few times. This afternoon, he finally did it. Congratulations. It's a big deal.

And the best part - he ran it behind my Mastercraft Prostar 190! (Hope you guys don't throw him out of the Crew...)

Picture to follow.

Well done MDude!!!

[WakeGirl]

He called me on the way home to brag, but swore that he'd bury the evidence of it coming behind a MC.

Yeah, but I got home first, and he didn't think I'd figure out how to post a picture here.

[BuFootin]

congrats! Now shorten the line....and pull harder through both wakes.

You wait this long to get it done and then when you run it...you run it behind a MC?

Good Job Justin. You've worked a long time for this. Enjoy it.

...oh, one other thing...just cause you've run it now doesn't mean it's going to be easy to do it in the future... ...friggin' little rubber bouys.

At least it's a sweet frustration.

[NvBoarder]

Nice work Dude, two bad you will be taken a few weeks off.

[NorCaliBu]

...two bad you will be taken a few weeks off.

Friggin' wakeboarders.

...too bad you will be taking a few weeks off.

No rest for the Grammar Police around here.

He just needed that nice, soft Mastercraft pull to do it.

(I'm just razzing him - he is skiing really well right now.)

Cool beans and thanks for not rubbing in the MC part too much!

[UWSkier]

Nice going Justin! Everyone remembers their first time.

[Toby]

i would have popped the handle at 6 if i was you mdude.

my first time was behind a closed bow response...

[hammbone]

Nice work Justin!

Except for the boat part of course...

[vlxjeff]

Good job Justin!!!

But officer, I was in a hurry. Good thing I am going back to school.

[Malibudude]

Oh, it would have been behind the Bu if we’d not been out of gas.

Thanks guys, believe me I've sabotage myself for the last month or so after I said 6 ball is cake once I got to 5 ball....famous last words. Actually last weekend I did pop the handle...wait I ment to do that... This was the last run for about a month and just everything clicked. No thinking just going out and rippin' it up.

Kyle thanks again for the pull, Shawn’s/Phil’s suggestion moving the bindings and the skeg are dialed in SWEET after countless adjustments to find the perfect setup. . Let's not forget the umpteen sets behind an RLX that provided me the skills needed to handle the MC wake. Out of 10 sets this weekend, one was behind the MC, I knew when I came around six that I was going to eat some crow for getting it done behind an MC. Quite a contrast to the 7:30 A.M. pull that suck something horrid, must be the wind right.lol

No to refresh the wife's memory that I get a new ski if I ran it......

[LakeOneSkier]

Congrats 'Dude!

Glad I didn't bet you a case of beer this year. :-)

I forgot about that...lol Ya oh well the thrill of victory, for the moment anyway, is worth more...

[68Slalom]

Good job Mdude, Now to start shortening that rope and increasing speed

[kpickett]

I think the appropriate comeback here is, "What wake?"

I wasn't going to let the MC get the better of me....

[reggie]

Congrat's, now look forward to 22 and then the big jump to 28:)

[baumer]

Shame on me for being out of gas figured I had enough for the whole weekend.

Seriously, I have watched Justin work very hard for a long time. His skiing has improved dramatically this year and am proud to have been there watching him accomplish this personal goal.
