One Reggaesteem Post Two Perspectives - @super-irie @conradsuperb

Super-irie perspective

New ReggaeSteemian, @MrFloridaKeyz, recently posted an irie photo of himself on a ski-doo looking suave boa and striking a pose in Kingston, Jamaica. S/O to @dmilliz for bringing his bro to the platform - there’s always room for Jamaican content on the feed.

Well, ditto for me. I’m going to show you a real daredevil about to go on a solo ride on the 7-Mile Beach. Story goes like this:

We were hangin’ at Legends Resort
and these two Jamaicans zoom into the beach area on their machines,
asking if anyone wanted to venture on their ski-doos. @Conradsuperb looked at me and I said, “why not.”

Here in JA - money rules all else... they didn’t even ask me his age. (ELEVEN)

Cost $25 for thirty minutes. After a two minutes orientation on how to operate he was ready to go-go-go.
Here he is getting ready for ignition and blast off.

See ya I said. Me, I wasn’t about to be a passenger with him driving. I knew better, so I planted my feet firmly on the ground and waved goodbye on the 7-mile.

I had confidence in him, he knew what he was doing. The year before on a vacation we rented scooters and I let him drive his own. He did well. Gotta learn sooner or later. My philosophy is sooner rather than the ladder.

OK - that’s it for me. Now I’m going to hand over the mic and let conradsuperb speak the gospel on what he remembers from this here irie-venture.

Yo, @conradsuperb here. Pretty sure this is the first duo post on the feed. One post, two perspectives. Pretty cool.

I remember seeing these guys coming in hot from the cliffs side on their fancy water sport jet skis. I call them jet skis, @super-irie calls them - Ski doos. I think jet skis are more common nowadays, but super is old school.

Super-irie has always let me pretty much live without a leash, so I knew there was a good chance he was gonna let me go for a ride. All I had to do was ask and he said “no problem.”

We flagged these guys down, they took me on a quick test ride with one of them on the back, then I was off on my own. No turning back now.

I remember feeling like I was on top of the world. These things were fast and I was just a kid, so I felt like Ricky Bobby 😎

I was zooming around, making sharp turns, feeling super-irie!! The thirty minutes went quick and before I knew it I was being flagged down by one of them on another jet-ski.

The memories from Jamaica I have remain vivid in my head. There’s something different about this place that only a trip here will allow for you to truly understand.

Hope to see you all in Negril come June at JAHMfest !!
