The first time I ever went to the river was my 31st bday to big river, 6.5 years ago... none of us had boats, just tubes and beer, it just happened to be a weekend in August that scjb was there, saw a lot of cool boats met a lot of cool people that weekend, before that I had no intention of ever playing in the water, I always played with cars,, and I went home and started looking for a boat, now all of us from that first trip I went with have boats,,,I just happened to be a v-drive guy! Lol but I've met a lot of really cool people over the years of having my boat, and learned a lot from the wealth of knowledge all from this forum!! Everyone welcomed me even tho I don't have a jet boat, and I like to talk shit! You guys are all awesome, especially Brad for putting this all together!! Happy b-day SCJB, thanks for having me! 👍👍
