Thanks for stopping in to check out The Hyperlite Post. If anybody has suggestions with regards to what they would like to see on here please leave a message and let us now. Obviously, we just recently got this going and would love some feedback. Also, this is my first blog ever and I am pretty nervous so please take that into consideration as you continue reading.

I got a bit of a late start this morning because I was out late last night watching the Magic smoke the Raptors in game 2 of the playoffs. I'm just about to head out riding to get some thrashing in before wake games tomorrow. I'll probably take it fairly easy today because I rode quite a bit out at Murray's yesterday and hit up the gym afterwards. Murray's riding is unreal and so motivating...he did a raley to blind yesterday that was probably 40 feet into the flats and he stomped it like it was a wake to wake backside 1. He's been trying to get me to do them for a while but something about catching a back edge at 35mph isn't too appealing to me.


I've been having so much fun on the water lately. Things were pretty frustrating for a while after my knee surgery in the fall of '06, but a lot of patience and hard work has showed me that the injury was a blessing in disguise. I appreciate every set on the water so much more now and constantly thank God for my health, which I have learned is really easy to take for granted if you're not careful. It has just been really exciting to relearn some of my old stuff as well as working on some new things that I have been picturing/thinking about for the past year and half. I am a very visual rider, I often picture a move from a variety of angles in my head before working on it (from the boat, from chase boat, and from either side etc.). When I visualize a trick, I can also get a good idea of where I could grab it the longest and what grab would be most natural and fluent for me. Bringing those visualizations to life is one of my favorite things about riding. Alright well I need to go get in a quick game of team doubles on Halo 3 before riding, who knows maybe I'll meet up with Rathy and Murray in the virtual gaming world. Take care.
