    Is anyone else planning on doing the run on a poleski?????? Or should I take the blaster to fit in??

    I would take the sit down, I find poll skis are way easier to damage when your riding over rocks/logs, the back end sinks into the water to far (unless your going at speed of course) an you end up ripping of the corners. That and if you hit something and stop dead you have to contend with a pole most likely in a very uncomfortable position....

    The blaster has a nice flat hull so it will just bounce over things. Thats my opinion anyway

    Hmmm thanks for the tip.. A pole in the nuts isn't a pleasant thought.. but the superjet is so much more fun to ride.. :p

    Yeah bring it on you pole dancers, anything to get the numbers up, the more the merrier, and speaking of which dont be shy with the liquid refreshments cause we all usually run out. Was a primo trip last time with all kinds of action so would be awesome to see a good turn out from the north of the bombays, and if a tow or a lift is required then no probs cause i'll be there on the mother ship... aye tofa!!!

    Pole skis will be fine...Id take mine if i was able...The river is deep and with a pole you would be able to bunny hop most trees if your good enuff?

    Last year pretty much everyone that owned a pole said they wish they brought it...At the time we didnt know how far it was so thats why the skis have shit loads of fuel tied to them...first time we ran out second time plenty to spare.

    And like Todd said we have plenty of storage in our sit downs for booz,fuel and stuff.

    Im just going to need numbers of you is keen so i can let the farmer know how many cars will be coming

    Ok guys and girls here is the final plan.
    We will meet at the intersection of SH24 and Tepoi rd at 9AM...There is a large gravel aera. Please DO NOT be late as this is just a meeting area and not where we ride from.
    There is a $5 cover charge for parking and also tractor hire if we need it.
