Toe Jammin

2009-07-01T21:14:00.000-07:00

Well its off to Orlando tommorow for the last stop of the Toe Jam for 09. Cable is the name of the game at this event people and I hope i have some new trickys packed in my bag. Iv def got some new nik's to ride in so who knows what might happen. For every one that orderd boards ill be back to work on them by sunday so fear not.

board spec's

2009-06-15T07:45:00.000-07:00

Ok so I see there's a lote of debate going on about the board so hopefully I can help clear it up. I built this board with the main goal being to make a wood board that would have the same durability and life expectancy of a fully composite board. I have Incorporated many years of riding and personal experience and put what i have found to work and along with my own personal preference into this board. I just think there are much better ways of making a wood board other than sticking 7-9 or how ever many veneers together and then digging the middle out to get concave which is basically the way its been done since wakeskating started. This wood core is the only one of its kind in the market and for now im not gona say to much about it so it stays that way. It has a 3 stage rocker that is 1.5 inchs. It can be from 39-41 inchs in length, and it weights in at about 12 1/2 pounds so this one wont fly away on you. Both top and bottom core's are completely in closed in a pbt plastic skin and closed off with black abs side wall. It is designed to ride like a bi level with more dramatic contour top but feel more like a 3d solid board.I have closed cell foam pads between the board to support the top deck and prevent from flexing very much. The pads also add some great cushioning when jumping big gaps or going big on the boat.

pics of the new stick

2009-06-13T11:34:00.000-07:00

Well here it is basically this is the final product minus the graphic. Top and bottom abs side wall fully in closed pbt skin and 100% composite wood core. The length can be custom from 39in-41in, this one is a 40. Im selling blank versions like this one for a cheaper price of 300$ for a limited time till i get the graphic worked out. The highest quality materials to make the highest quality 100% hand made American product. More detail to come just wanted to give you guys something to look at.

Signature wakeskates are ready

2009-06-11T08:30:00.000-07:00

Well its raining out side which means no lack of water in Texas. In case you haven't read the other recent post on here iv been working hard on getting the new Signature board where it needs to be. The top and bottom deck are now completely in close and have black abs side wall all the way around so now no water is getting in this bad boy. We shot some photos yesterday and should be posting pics and more tec info soon. Its looking like im going to be selling blank version of the deck for a little wail so you the consumer can benefit by get a lower selling price. Stay tuned for pics and board info soon.

Papa George

2009-05-18T12:09:00.000-07:00

So Papa George called me up this morning to give me a heads up that him and the byerly team will be rolling through the Dallas area this friday and hang out for a little wail on the bus. So needless to say im sure there will be so gap jumping going on this weekend so hopefully ill have some good stuff to post soon. On another note anyone who may read this that is interested in getting a step up on the wake skate game I am available for lesson this summer whether it be behind the boat,jetski,or winch. All you need is a push in the right direction.

Ok the secret's out

2009-05-15T11:57:00.000-07:00

So im back from o town again from the second stop of the Toejam tour. I want to thank Jimmy owner of TEXAS MASTER CRAFT for the support and making it possible for me to make it to the contest. Man I wish all the young rippers would stop riding so much. There was some crazy technical riding going on during this last event. Any way iv made it back to Texas and now get some time to focus on my other projects i have been working on. So this isn't a official press release or any thing but i think its time i set some stuff strait. My project i have been working on for the past 4 to 6 months is called the Signature wakeskate Comany. You may have seen some resent photos of me riding a white bi level type board, well that's the first proto type. Im not going into to much detail on construction just yet,but know that it is like no other board out there and has some deep roots in snowboarding since we all know snow is just frozen water. I have built this board from scratch as i will build every board that i make. It is made to be ridin hard and have a life spand that will rival any fully composit board. It is 99% wood core but is fully enclosed in a composite skin and sidewalls to ensure no water logging. It looks like a bi level but with a closed cell foam core between the top and bottom deck to prevent the top deck from flexing so it rides and feels more like a solid 3d deck.The board size can be between 39 to 41 inches in length and a width of 13 1/2 inch's. I will post some pictures in the near future of the basic size and shape. Any one interested can leave me a message on here or e mail me a CMT122682@aol.com. Stay tuned as more info will be released soon. On another note it looks like we are planing on have the Trinity River Round Up some time in September now since it was canceled do to swine flu scare.

2009-05-01T06:10:00.000-07:00

Whats up people im back in town for a little wail. I should be running a wakeskate contest today but never fear swine flew is apparently here. The Fort Worth city health department put a stop to the contest and all Mayfest events,basically any public outdoor events. Shity. We most likely well be able to reschedule the event later on this year.The good news is the Alliance crew is still coming in town and we are going to shoot and film it up and try to get some sweet winching done for some future storeys. Soon ill be back off to orlando to the second stop of the ToeJam tour at the projects. Hopefully it well go better than the pool set up last week at odub, im still trying to glue my pieces back together from a few spills i took.

Its that time of year

2009-04-13T07:17:00.000-07:00

Hey people whats up out there. Well you can see the blog has been a little empty recently but that doesn't mean some serious stuff isn't happening. Well im trying to get ready to head to Orlando for the first to jam stop at o dub.Then i gota book it back to Texas for my contest the next weekend and then strait back to Orlando for stop 2 of the toe jam the weekend after that so need less to say its gona be real busy around hear soon for me.Hopefully when all that slows down ill get to do some good old hot Texas winching and get to hit some new really cool spots iv been siting on for a wail just waiting for the weather to be good.

trick

2009-02-23T07:08:00.000-08:00

Well here's a trick from the other day sorry not much content lately the weather has been pretty crappy so not much riding going on. I still hoping to bring good news soon of some other things I am working on real soon.

its all about the water

2009-02-18T06:40:00.000-08:00

Stairs to no where

2009-02-17T13:14:00.000-08:00

Well i guess my warming spell changed its mind so I did a little checking up on some spots to day. This one is probably one of the coolest looking gaps i have found but unfortunately it doesn't have the deepest landing ever. Its about 6 ft high and probably a good 20ft long with a landing of about 1 foot deep on a good day.

City dollars hard at work

2009-02-15T08:18:00.000-08:00

Well iv had my eye on this place for a wail just waiting for a good time and a good crew to hit it.I went to check on it the other day and looks like there doing some renovations fixing up some old concrete or something hopefully they just make it better not smaller and don't leave to much scrape re bar and stuff all over the place. Its about 10 to 12 ft tall and prob 20 ft to clear with plenty of run out. Not a little gap

wow

2009-02-12T07:56:00.000-08:00

Sorry every one I haven't been able to post to much new stuff lately. Iv been hard at work fighting off cold spells, food poisoning, and dodging tornado's in February, and working on some secret stuff. O and by the way i am officially unsponsored now haha pretty crazy. But have no fear i have definitely been noticing a nice warming trend. Ill get some stuff up soon and hopefully this other stuff will show its head soon. Stay tuned

every thing seems smaller

2009-02-05T08:15:00.000-08:00

A long long time ago back in the early 90s I would come here a fish as a young lad. I had a flash back about this place the other day but seem to remember its would be to big to be any good. So I happened to be on this side of town the other day and figured this would be a good time to go check this old park. But low and behold I get there and I see that its perfect and I guess it just seemed big when I was little. Any way its about 7-8 ft high and maybe 15 ft long with a descent landing and run out

big guy

2009-02-04T08:03:00.000-08:00

Well this big buy here might look to be on the smaller side,but its really a good 10 to 12 foot drop. The recent adding of all those apartment buildings made it a little harder to get to.

sundays are just warmer

2009-02-02T08:44:00.000-08:00

Here's a little something from yesterday. Its gota start warming up soon I cant take this one set a week stuff much longer.

2009-01-28T18:31:00.000-08:00

3 1/2ft tall

Deep in the heart of the getto your gona need a consealed handgun licence to ride here. J/k but no for real

square rail

2009-01-26T12:38:00.000-08:00

So i found this pretty crazy thing im gona call a obstacle today. Its about 25ft by 25ft and maybe 3 1/2 ft tall if i had to guess. o yea and the middle is a death pit of some sort. Whos up first?

cold week

2009-01-26T08:14:00.000-08:00

freshy

2009-01-13T11:57:00.000-08:00

So i was just fishing with my dog in this creek yesterday right , the last thing on my mind was looking for a spot. Then low and behold what do i find this 9ft gap and a telephone pole about 40 ft long not more than 30 yards away that would make a perfect down rail, maybe.

The hole

2009-01-12T08:15:00.000-08:00

So i call this one The Hole go figure. Its between 16 to 20 feet wide kinda hard to tell from the shore.
