robscholl-OF Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Okay, so Richard and I are sitting around and come up with the idea to call everyone out, even the Lurkers.  We may not all be able to get together and ski a tournament, but why not use the internet?  Ski on your favorite lake, use your favorite boat, driven by your favorite driver and your speed control of choice. We thought about having a bunch of rules, buy why? It is only you who you affect if you cheat. So here are the rules: It has to be on a regulation course. The boat has to have speed control. Times have to be in tolerance. (Your chance to get a 17.01 again) Ropes and handles need to be the correct length. (No non-switch ropes on the switch) The pass that you post, MUST be run under AWSA rules used for class C tournament in the regards you have to run your passes in sequence. In order to speed up or cut line, you have to run the prior pass. The cool part is that if you miss or fall, you can start over from the beginning again. You can do it as many times you want, as long as the pass you post is run as if you were in a class C tournament. This could be fun as it would give us all a chance to put a face with a name and see each other ski.  Trust me, once you see me ski, the last thing I want everyone to do is see me ski. Then I thought, who cares, maybe this will help me get better by watching myself and others. Also if I start, maybe others will follow and we all can see each other ski. As we get better we can post each time we better our last post. It could be a blast. So if you already have footage that meets the rules, post it. If not, go out this weekend or whenever and shoot a video. Feel free to talk a little trash too. It could be fun. Here is Richard and my "Internet Tournament" set to start this all off.         Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuney Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Nice skiing guys, I'd play but my boat has been winterized and I have no course. I'll get in on it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Wayne Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I've seen R. D. do better, but he's still fun to watch.For the record, Richard, it might be noted that the sizing on your ARM-GUARD is to your own specifications, and leaves a much larger opening than we recommend - especially for someone not using "clinchers". Just keep your arm out and you'll be fine...TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robscholl-OF Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 In my haste to finish the video I had a few spelling errors and left out the final clip at the end of the video.  I fixed them so the current video is the edited one. I noticed that I missed that I spelled Master Craft wrong, but I will live with what is posted.For those of you who are done for the year and want to play, post next year. Richard and I were thinking that it will be cool for not only seeing others ski, but the different boats and speed controls, skis and equipment used and everyones different ski sites.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jlittle Posted October 1, 2009 Baller Share Posted October 1, 2009 These guys ski year round and don't let much get in there way. Yes, we all skied two sets that day. And if was right at the 80 degree rule IIRC. 40 air/ 40 water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robscholl-OF Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 We do ski year round, but try not to make it a habit on the real nasty days. As RunSix knows, if you are every in the Seattle/Tacoms area, get in touch with us if you want to go for a rip. Heck, I wil even video your set and post it if you want.....    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember last winter when you were breaking up the ice on the lake.Lake down to 62 today, we are in the middle of a cold snap. Should be back int he high 70s soon.

Baller Roger Posted November 2, 2009 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2009 auskier, what DO you have to start at then? Or are you a 58K skier and they won't let you start at a lower speed AND a shorter rope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller auskier Posted November 2, 2009 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2009 yeah. to shorten you have to run your maximum speed at 15off, so for me its 36. cant start at 34-22 then go to 36-22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted November 2, 2009 Baller_ Share Posted November 2, 2009 Auskier - so you can start at slower speeds as long as it's at -15, right ? Or does it have to be LL ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller auskier Posted November 3, 2009 Baller Share Posted November 3, 2009 15off. we dont ski at longline at all.so for me as a over 21 mens skier, if i start at anything slower than 36 i have to be at 15 off. then can only shorten once you run 36-15off.

Baller baja Posted February 14, 2010 Baller Share Posted February 14, 2010 Took grief today as my wife skied in a light spring suit after I used my 4/3mm full suit... at least I wasn't in my drysuit. When I offered to buy her a full suit she sounded like Horton... "why would I want to ski when it's that cold?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
