Another half baked idea from the Pepper

[Le Jalapeno]

O.K., so with all the recent rain and snow meltage, all of the rivers and creeks are flooding. So what do you think my chances are of being able to tie a rope to a tree, and skate on the flooding creeks? its effing cold so I don't want to go out there if its not even gonna work.


The urge to skate is killing me.

[Bad Luck]

very possible , but youre gonna need some pretty decent flow.

[bob.]

Le Jalapeno, unless the water is moving at least over 15 mph i wouldnt bother trying

would be sick as hell though, be sure to get footy or stills if you do

its like skateboarding on a treadmill

[soy escuala]

Bad Luck, i'm sure he has a pretty decent flow every month.

[Bad Luck]

burn.

[Le Jalapeno]

soy escuala, ooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccchhhh

bobby211, let me just get out my water speedo meter


The only camera I have right now is a disposable, and I will try to get some shots on that, but right now I think my dad has my camera


Its freezing so I will try when I find an optimum spot, and I'll tell you guys how it went

Instead of thinking about weird ways to wakeskate why dont u change your myspace pic?

When you fall... have fun swimming after your skate... if you can catch it...

[Evan71]

Schmaltz, i was thinking the samw, make a makeshift leash

[Brett Leadley]

Just drive the three hours or whatever it is and come winch FOOL!!!!

How far are you from Philly?

[jboss]

Schmaltz, I'd just have a friend or two waiting a little farther back to catch it.

[Calskater23]

Yes loosing the skate would be an easy thing to due.

I have two things too say. I attempted to ride a creek a year and a half ago. It had rained here in Kansas City for a week straight, so the ground was completely saturated and the runoff went straight into the creek. It looked like a rapid. I ballsed it out and tied my rope to a bridge. The bank was muddy as hell and my shoes got stuck. I acid dropped onto the water from a slippery rock and instantly ate it. The water was running fast but not quite fast enough. After luckily getting my board back (LF Impusle) I tried to wade in and deep start. It was like trying to get up behind a boat that can't pass like 10mh. Hard as hell and I couldn't brake the surface. It was a bust. I gave up. Now that's the first thing. The next day or two later, I was watching the news and they were talking about all the chemicals that were in that creek. How it was hazerdous to humans to contact. I bathed in that shizzle. Glad I haven't got grown a third arm. You should definitely consider what might be in that water. Also, when the flow is going fast enough that you could catch a ride, there will likely be a lot of crap flowing your way, and fast. Creeks aren't always known for having harmless things float down streem. Beware and be careful. PS. You might try and make a leash for your board if you are serious.

Have you watched this video?

That was what I thougth I would be getting into, no such luck.

watch out for logs.

[Le Jalapeno]

Brett Leadley, i'm about 2 hours I think, haven't been there in a while. But I will definitely be down there the first day I get my new skate (probably april/may)


Just thought of that leash idea today myself, still thinking of a way I can make a leash without it effing up shuvs and stuff. I think I might just get a tree with alot of branches to comb the water behind me. , the water is going down now, but I'm sure we will get another flood.

The Ninja, Whats wrong with my myspace pic, it was one of my senior pics
P.S. myspace is for meeting sloots, and I've got plenty of them already

[mattttt60]

doo iiiitttttt, u wont

[trevor881]

i have seen it on youtube, he was skating it after it came out of a dam. so watch a video and seen if the water that you are going to try it in is flowing faster or the same speed..
