The Air Up There
This past weekend I was able to go back home and get some wakeboarding in. As you can see in the following pictures, I am probably one of the best people you know at the sport. I was able to take some Tylenol before we went for my altitude sickness but it didn’t help much. My head still hurts from hitting the clouds:

It is hard to tell from that picture exactly how high I get so I have included a few more pictures from that day:

For those who are not very familiar with Orange, we have a very exotic array of wildlife:

And finally…the Blue Angel’s were in town and invited me to participate in their show. Thanks boys, I am available for you guys anytime:

We had a great weekend and special thanks goes out to NASA for accepting my unexpected launch on such a short notice.

wish i could have made it. as usual, david gave me the invite by phone (in his left hand) and his right hand on the throttle as he was pulling away from the boat launch.

Just think how high you could have got if your head wasnt so big, filled with ego and all. If it was lighter you may have added 5 ft to your jump.
But if the Big Man Up Stairs saw you, then that is quite the accomplishment.

That guy is asking to get cloned. I will posterize your ass and send an email blast to a database of 10,000 people to make you famous. Famously stupid…..

Wow! I’m in shock! How did you not get hit by one of those plane’s?

This is some absolutely classic photoshopping. Only trumped by how sweet the air is that you are actually catching in that pic. I am an old school classic slalom skier, so all this wakeboarding stuff makes me envious. Clearly you can leap the empire state building in a single bound, this is good stuff.
Keep these posts coming.
