I know a couple of you guys will be going, but I thought I would post it here. Brian just put out the registration form for the 2012 Buckethead Barefoot Endurance race. This race has become one of the top barefoot endurance races in the country. Last year 14 boats were one the starting line; it was a site/sight to behold. It's 38 miles of racing on choice water, followed by a great lunch and awards party. Last year there was a sandbar party late in the afternoon . Last year there was also 6 or 7 Barefoot Nautiques; a couple being showroom condition (not mine).
So if your looking for something to do Aug 11th, head over to Grand Rapids, Oh and join us.
Currently, registration is only open to those who raced last year, but if there are open spots after July 15th, I suggest you grab one.

Here's a teaser. It's last years start. Notice the boat to the left of this boat. Sweet colors.
BTW, the guy in the video is Dan Melton running about 8 miles.

I see a lot shared trust on that video; yall must all have a boating license.

I may be in Ithaca that weekend, but I'm guessing there isn't much room for spectators and we'd be boatless. Have a blast for us!

So you have Herd of them? No way man; I'd maybe hit you up for a sofa.

Ithaca,MI    north of Lansing

From what I've heard/Herd, the festivals up your way aren't quite as relaxing?

I may do an 'up thata way' tour though...

I haven't been to grass roots in Ithaca NY, but I have friends that go every year and I can confirm they are not coming back home well rested at the end. When you make it you can certainly stay in the fennessy guest room.. it has slept a few correctcraftfans over the years but we always change the sheets.

No. Why do you ask? I know a friend of mine may be trying to make a deal on your '91. I didn't know it was still available. As a matter of fact, he was at my cottage yesterday. He said he was on his way to Frankenmuth. Is he pulling a fast one on me and really heading to PA? I hope he is because we need a second boat for the Buckethead race.

That first 2011 video from the Malibu doesn't surprise me- that's the rig to have! A CSB that doesn't give a damn about high RPMs and absolutely no wake. The BFN might have the hardest table out there but those Malibu hulls have tremendous lift and very little drag. Truly a great barefoot rig. I'll never forget the time I deep-up-ed behind my buddy's RLXi on one side of the wake with my eyes closed while planting/getting spray and opening my eyes on the other side of the wake- I had NO idea I did a LL wake cross.

Tim, that works out great.   I spoke (texted) with Brian this morning and he said you would bring your boat. That works well for our Young Guns team of (4) footers, who don't have a boat lined up. What size shirt do you wear? The team is already paid for so your registration fee is covered (and we'll pay for your gas), but I have not given Brian the shirt sizes yet.

Steve
Plan on bringing your gear. Between now and the race, I'm sure some team/teams will have a footer drop out and will be in need of a substitute. Last year we almost lost one of our footers the morning of the race. He was "overserved" at the cooler the night before.      Actually he overserved himself with Rum Chada.

Can't freakin wait guys!!

Also, If you are coming and are a footer bring your gear. I'm on the local team, and we have a boat and 3 footers. yes, you can do the race with 3 but my body is already saying WTF are you thinking..

Should be another fantastic event, and the water's been butter all year.

I will bring my gear, and I won't be overserved. See ya at the party! I can see everyone is getting stoked!   

IMHO Jordan, I wouldn't do it with a 3 man team. Been there done that. Too much for this dude.

The question is to bring the 176 (~300HP) or my friends 196 (~330HP).

Yeah.. there is no way I'd want to.. we've done it with 4 and it was a load for sure.

Your choice (beggers can't be choosers). If the boat will do 40mph with 5 guys in it, I think whatever has more room and comfort is the one to bring. I have an extra fly High extension, and I will bring a pulley system and ropes for your boat.

RipnSix
what's wrong with four guys? Didn't WBC Hot Shots win the race with four? (it helps when the first footer does the first 18 mile leg to the turn buoy )

In reference to the foot burn thread--

How does a guy ski 18 miles and not get footburn? well maybe he got it I don't know. Anyway I wonder what they are doing differently to ski that far without losing the skin off their feet...is it form?

I have another theory; the guy in the first video, Dan, has some huge feet (I think he's rockin' some 14's). I, on the other hand, weigh in at 210lbs and stand on size 9-1/2 biscuits (insert small foot joke here). If I could spread my weight over some size 12's, physics dictates less PSI on my dogs.

Hah.

I'm @ 9.5 too. Footed about 45 miles over the past 2 days with our local crew and they all wore booties. I didn't, no burn.

You got it!

If anyone is on the fence about going to the race, It is a lot of fun all day long. The race starts at 7:00. It ends about two hours later when the last team finishes (not us). Then there is a lunch, with awards and prizes. We knock down a few beers and then if the weather allows, we drop the boats back in and foot to the sand bar. After that, well,... just show up.

BTW; out of the 14 teams, I think at least 10 will be Nautiques, with 7+ being BFN's.

You ready Tim?

I just had lunch with Brian (aka Buckethead). He says there are a couple of teams that might have a spot. So if you show up, bring your gear. I'm sure if you want to race, you will.
The river water level is good. Our beer is already on ice (can't be too prepared). And we will pick up the Rickles pickles on the way (can't buy them in Michigan).

We do have one spot open if someone wants to join. My son sprained his ankle during jump practice. Let me know. Heck, your entry fee is already paid for.

We have a spot on the Young Guns team (though there might be some switching around between our two teams). It is behind Tim's (watrski) boat. I think he is bringing his friend's 196. If you're good for 3 or 4 runs, that's all it takes. Bring your gear and foot.

We had our best showing at the Buckethead. 3rd place out of twelve teams. Man. am I glad we had a Barefoot Nautique. The first and last 5 miles of the race were the most brutal I have ever tried to foot in. The wind was coming right down the river, creating white caps at the starting line. There is a boat sitting at the 4 mile mark, indicating where you can start power turning to pick up your fallen footer. Usually most teams can make that point with their first footer. It took us 3 times through our rotation to get to that point. Sorry to report that our Young Gunz team bowed out after just two miles. I won't name names, but one of their team members wouldn't get in the water. They tried to run with only three footers, but it was too much.
Another team, Top Gun, quit with only two miles to go. I'm not sure why,vbecause they usually win, but were way back in the pack when they gave up.
I don't know how the winning team did it, but they won using a Corvette Malibu. Thumbs up to those guys footing through that water behind that flat bottomed boat.
I will post some videos when they get uploaded.

Just flipped through some of the pictures. How does it work with the person in the boat holding the other handle? I later a ring that it looks like the line pulleys through?


Posted By: tullfooter
Date Posted: August-13-2012 at 3:41pm
Almost all the boats have a pulley system. 100' line goes through a climbers ring. There is a ring at both ends of the line to stop the line about 3 feet from the handle. The next footer jumps in about 50 before the boat picks up the fallen footer. The pulley system works great for both footer and driver. As soon as the two rings hit, the driver stabs the throttle.
My son wore a GoPro on his chest. I will post a link once the video is uploaded.

Funny thing is that the river had the brownish hue that your river often has. There was lots of rain leading up to race day. If you're ever in Ohio mid- August, you are welcome to jump on with one of our teams. But you have to bring along your posse.

The smooth water is at the gas stop boat. The rough water was the 5 miles at the start/finish line

Can't foot anymore I have plantar fasciitis which really aggravates it.( getting to dam old) It's been a few years anyway. I’m good for a few beers though. Where the best place to put the boat in anyway?

If you don't fall, you're not trying hard enough.

If it doesn't hurt.. Go Bigger.

Tubing Sucks.

It sounds like we are trying to put together two teams between Burning Soles and Captains Reality for the race in Dunsville Canada (Grand River) on Sept 29th. So far, we have 3 footers, and Brian (Buckethead) has 3. That race has 4-person teams. It's only 17 miles long. I will post a link to the race.

Several people have told me they are footing in our figure 8 but signups are light at this point.

Steve.... Can you have 5 in a boat? Mike and I might jump in with you on that one. Not sure if I have anything going that weekend.

Here's a link to a video taken from Pat Felgner's Martinique. It's 2 minutes of face plants. Usually in the race a footer gets tired and lets go. Not here.    Notice the nice water in the beginning.
