I would like to state for the record that ragboys little girl was able to drop the rope and free ride WAY before da

Hey, that isn't fair.... A little girl beat me..... Oh well, I will get it sometime and learn but maybe I can get some tips from her???? Just have to drive up there to get them now....

Great video. Will definitely need to come up to Oroville before the summer is over to get some tips from your children and wakesurfing.

My hat goes off to you for taking in a special needs child. I know first hand how difficult raising a special need children is. It takes a lot of time and patience and dedication.

UPDATE: I didn't realize the high resolution didn't get uploaded. My connection must have burped over night or something. If you go to the gallery now, you can see the high rez version (960x540), if you have the bandwidth. Its worth it.

In their effort to keep the story short, they didn't quite get it right, no offense to Tige. Its close, but when I get some time I will share it, because it is amazing what those kids came from, and where they are now, especially Jessica. She was not just born with a problem with her legs. She was born addicted to meth, and we were told she may not ever walk or talk. It has been an amazing thing to see. To see a child go from virtually mush, and addiction, to being almost completely normal. There is still constant work, and therapy, but its amazing. When you get to a child this young, you can actually do the equivalent of brain surgery with love and proper stimulation. Parts of the brain that didn't work, and connections lost actually can reconnect.

I am a believer that its the boat that stimulates their brain. It is a therapy to them. My youngest son has been diagnoses with mild to moderate autism and every time we get him on the boat and that wind blows in his hair, we just puts the biggest smile on his face and acts like "This autism isn't going to get the best of me". He truly seems to come out of an autistic state. Just simply amazing... Words can NOT explain it...

Thanks again.

Plus, he IS in California, better known as Mexifornia.

Can someone explain how the Mexican backroll is different from the 'regular' backroll? The difference never sticks with me.

[slacker661]

Well, if you're ever in Austin, let me know. Speaking from experience, you probably don't get much ride time.

My brother lives outside of Dallas in Rockwall. May get out there sometime. I thought about visiting on his lake, but decided not to when I read about the stumps, alligators, and poisonous cottonmouths.
