Oh yeah, you bet! We met on the river a number of times, not so much doing stupid things with boats but fishing.

Absolutely and I wouldn't have it any other way! I've been a confirmed adrenaline junky since a very young age. My buddies and I did Extreme Skiing before it had a label, we were just having fun! Then came foot launch gliding and now boats fishing. :cheers: [thumbsup] :cheers: [thumbsup] :cheers: [thumbsup] [razz] [razz] [razz]

haha.. ridersride is probably one of the most extreme adrenaline junkies i know.. makes for some good moments hanging out, or sometimes severe pucker happens.. hahahah.. i got a little puckered yesterday, just never riding rapids that big yet. 1st time i saw his bunjy jumping vids i knew he was nuts! i got into fishing to try and calm down a little myself after a couple summers worth of skateboard injuries.. but now, my toys are gas powered and i still have the "go fast" in me.. :) i want to be able to get to the fishing holes fast.. i had to start with small boat 1st so i can learn about proper boating, the mechanics, etc.... i'll be on a jet sled in no time ;)

I dont't think I could do anything in that boat without doing "VROOM" noises. That is an awesome rig.
