8Yr old Carving/Jumping for the first time today - Proud Pa Pa Here!!!

[Maristar210]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/Steves389/wakeboardingpics070705005.jpg Here he is. I did not manage to get any airbourne pic's but he is popping off the outside into the middle... at age 8. I am shocked, he learns so fast, he listens so well. The innocence of being a child, I guess.

Anyone think I should buy this kid a ski?

You have to one proud pappa :woohoo: Your son makes me look like a 49 year old trying to wake board..............hang on................I am a 49 year old. Maybe you should buy me a ski :D

Lookin' good young man. :headbang:

[Maristar210]

Thanks guys. He is super pumped and I am afraid that nothing will stop him. He is focused, persistent and determined.

His goal is an invert, this year.

God help his mother

LOL :headbang: :eek: :headbang:

Thanks for the kind words. He really likes "seeing his picture on the site"

That rocks!! I bet he is on top of the world knowing that he can do something most kids his age cant do. I dont think youll get that kid on a ski - hes hooked on wakeboarding. I learned to wakeboard and snowboard before I learned to ski and snowski. Im ok on skis but they just dont do it for me. I have a feeling hes in the same boat.

By the way - I was looking at the other pictures and hes one hell of a dirtbike rider too. ;)

Thanks for the kind comments. The dirtbiker is dad. His level of air on an MX track is still limited. Water gives a little, clay does not. This he is very aware of, but at eight. man am I happy.

Steve, this is one thing that I am most excited about as well. You should be and are entitled to be proud of your boy. I just got a set of trainer skies for my 5 yr old daughter, and this weekend we're going to give it a shot. She is so excited to try.....just gotta keep it fun and exciting for her. Hopefully, in the "trys" to come, I'll share the same excitement as you.

I wish you the very best and would love to see some pic's of this if you can manage your excitement long enough for a photo.

I am not sure where the "great form" comes from, But I sure am glad it exists.

I'm thinking you've already lost him to the dark side, I hope you like heavy metal and tatoos! :headbang:

Kidding of course.... nice form.... that's just good stuff....
