    Default First Tantrum

    My middle son, now 16, landed his first "tantrum" on Monday (July 26th, 2010)

    He's been working on it all summer! Video link provided . .

    Nice Work! I didn't land my first until I was 19. It's good to get started early, tell him to keep trying the big moves... he'll regret it later on if he doesn't keep pushing it.

    Congrats to him. I bet he is pumped and ready to go again. I just landed my first a couple weeks ago and now i can't stop.

    Wonder if he will develop the same syndrome I have ... Now everytime we pass a boat I gotta throw it.

    I can't watch the video (at work...filters). But, congrats! I wanna learn at least one invert before I hit 40.

    Okie - check it out at home then. The boy is STOKED! It makes me feel good to see him so happy doing what he loves! He did land on his head many times before landing it, but after the first time, he did two more pretty easily (or so it seemed).

    That's sweet. He made it look like he's done that many times before. Congrats.

    That boy should be stoked! Very cool trick Clint.....Your wake looks great and I'm pretty sure you're not running any ballast in there......

    Seeing that happen probably made all the work you did on that boat EXTRA worth it, right???
