I thought I had heard em' all, but dangit that's a new one...reminds me of that bass I hung into last week. He was so big he broke my line in 2 places.:big grin:big grin
Boy, you ain't right!Several times in the past when a hurricane made a direct hit on Jax they would close the roads and bridges. I would suit up in a long plastic rain jacket and superglue the snaps together to keep them from ever opening in the high winds. I would put on a full-face PWC racing helmet and jump on one of my Vento Scooters. Since the roads were closed there were few Cops so I would go and ride over the tall bridges. Many times the winds were so high it would pick me and the scooter up and deposit us in the oncoming lanes. The lower bridges were a blast as the waves hit them and formed a tunnel that I would ride back and forth through. There once was a news crew at one of them but it was raining so hard they would not get out of their car to film me doing it.
Before I got the scooters I just took My mod Yamaha PWCs out into the 10' ocean breakers [1/2 mile out] to jump them for hours during the storms.
My Wife was always suprised when I returned home safely. My best Friend face planted during one storm on his PWC [I told him not to come] and I had to rescue him [and carry him to his PWC]. He had to get a bunch of facial lacerations stitched [and later a Knee reconstruction] while we continued to jump. There is not much that is as fun as being 3 stories up on a PWC and looking down at 3 more 10' breakers [in the set] that you WILL have to jump as soon as you land.
Both were severe fun!
No beer at all. I just needed some thrills and prayed for the Lord to take care of me [which He always has]. I also used to be a deep penetration cave diver and still am an aerobatic pilot. I am starting to slow down with age, the couch looks more and more inviting.Ok....you ride a scooter across a bridge while the wind is lifting you and the bike into the air. Then you procede to ride your scooter over a bridge that waves are breaking over and forming a tunnel. and sometimes when your really bored you take your ski out and jump waves that are cresting 10 foot and have to clear 3 waves to come down. I have 2 questions...How much beer does it take to try something like that, and where can I get tickets to come along?
