Old MS Accout Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 3 Monzas. I am on the 07 and the 06 went to Lago to some lucky skier. The 66 was to short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old MS Accout Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I was running the 67s side by side with the same set ups. (stock fin). I ended up liking the stiffer ski. Last weekend I added the 106 carbon Fin. WOW is all I can say. If you are riding the Monza, you have to try one of Hortons 106 blades. I liked it on my 06, but with the stiffer ski, it really carries from the wake out to the ball nice.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old MS Accout Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Those 106 carbon blades are the key to more balls on the Monza. I need one for my wifes ski. I may fire up my nationals desire if you keep ribbing me. If I have to, I will come out and practice for a week just to get used to that strange water in California, and then kick you around. If I do go to nats, its only to get some fish tacos and a Length Wise Ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old MS Accout Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 How was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScarletArrow Posted June 12, 2007 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'm on the '06...not sure if there is any difference between the years. I was a little shaky at first...plopped over on a couple of turns...it changes edge much more quickly / easily than my Evidence...needed a couple of passes of just wake crossings to get the feel of it.It is very fast...so the fun factor increases...but like a new set of golf clubs, it doesn't solve any of my technique issues...even though I could consistently pick up an extra ball or two...if anything, my technique was a little worse in the 3 sets I used it b/c of the decreased reaction time.I think the ski leaves the water on my wake crossing more than my Evidence...probably due to bad technique.I haven't skied on too many different skis...so I thought this was as good as any to make a change to...plus my ski buddy kept tempting me, "if you're going to a racetrack, you might as well drive the fastest car there."I finally stopped trying to point out the fallacies of his analogy...and that my progress isn't impeded by technology...and just give it a spin.Now I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to go back.

Baller ScarletArrow Posted June 12, 2007 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2007 Well...I skied on it some more tonight and completed the course for the first time ever...15off at 28.6mph. It was a no doubter...as soon as I completed the turn at each ball...I said to myself, "I've got this next one". Now how much of that is the ski, and how much of that is my technique finally coming together after running 1-2 sets a day 3-5x a week?

Baller skidawg Posted June 15, 2007 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2007 There is no bandaid for a deadly offside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old MS Accout Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 The bandaid is to not pull long to your off side ball. You must get on your edge change and back side the ball. If you run long and try to stick it around the ball on your off side, it has been my experience that you will hook up and the ski will go flat or it will wheelie up on you. But if you aim it to finish the turn on the back side of the ball, the ski will come around fine.    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mike55 Posted June 18, 2007 Baller Share Posted June 18, 2007 Good stuff MS...digressed this week. PB for this 53 yr old is 22/34 while I was down at Sunset Ranch south of Sac a few weeks ago. Been waiting for a Goode to show up and have been having to use alot of different skis since my Nomad Rc got damaged in flight. Will be on a 07' 67" Connelly F1 this week while waiting on the 160 amp Goode to show. Any set up suggestions? Front Animal large (distance) on the F1? Stock fin settings? 158-164lbs. 5'10 3/4".

Baller skidawg Posted June 18, 2007 Baller Share Posted June 18, 2007 front binding 29 1/8 in, rear 17 in. Start with stock fin settings (6.77 flat, 2.50, .78 flat) You may need to move fin back a bit and take a bit of length out. Ride it stock a few sets first. Binding placement is very important.

Baller skidawg Posted June 18, 2007 Baller Share Posted June 18, 2007 JB runs 9 deg on wing (upside down), I prefer 8deg, so go with your norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skihack Posted August 8, 2007 Baller Share Posted August 8, 2007 I am running an old JOBE Open Class HPT 67" with the front binding set at 30 3/8 ths from the the tail. Ski rocks. Sking wide and early. Fixed fin no adjustability. Fin has stop sign shaped holes in it. Bought the ski on ebay for like 10 dollars. I have an HO Phantom binding with rear toe. Thought ya'll would get a kick out of this highly technical ski. But, the truth is, it works for me real well in the course at 34 mph. I think the reason it works so well is because I weigh 225 lbs. and the ski has more surface area than all the new high end skis. Now if I weighed 180lbs. I probably should be on a ski like the rest of you guys are riding. Here's to skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCH Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Started the season on a 2005 Sixam 1.0. That ski broke a couple of weeks ago. Switched back to the F1. Now have a Sixam SS that O'Brien sent as a replacement for the 1.0! I don't have any sets on it yet. We just received about 8 inches of rain. The river is a complete wreck and had to cut the course out. We won't be able to get back out for at least another week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 22, 2007 Author Administrators Share Posted August 22, 2007 SS is a heck of a ski. Start with your fin settings from the old 1.0.

Old MS Accout Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Horton, I am sure he was happy. He ought to give me the 250 I am out as a result of the HO hole pattern and the #1 ranking I gave the 98 at the test. At least a 12 pack of Shiner. LKB,Wim Decree is 5''7 or so and about 150 and he is on a 67 Radar. Trent F is 6ft somthing and 190 and he is on a 66, so who knows. But I would go with the 66 if I was you.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
