block Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I think she will get 2 rounds in Houston next weekend behind a 6.0 txi. I am not sure 6.0 or 5.7 but they have to have two boats the same. I don't think there are two 5.7's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted October 3, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 3, 2011 Actually, that's one of her cleaner 39s. The last two WR's she's tied or broken had a LOT worse tip rise on the 39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted October 4, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 4, 2011 She does get a lot of tip rise as the line gets shorter. I don't understand how she gets the angle back. It is amazing to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted October 4, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted October 4, 2011 You don't know how she does it...... Did you see her arms and shoulders??? I gotta run down on her work out from someone that watched it. She uses kettle bell weights. Strong is a serious understatement. As for the tip rise, I'm surprised she doesn't give a front ventral a shot. It does keep the tip down. Maybe she has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted October 5, 2011 Gold Member Share Posted October 5, 2011 She is indeed strong as hell. At this point, it almost looks to me like she has incorporated that tip rise as part her technique. She almost does a "windsheild wiper" turn, enabling her to basically reset the ski at a ridiculous angle instead of actually "carving" a turn. This isn't exactly a recommended technique because you need a Girdle of Giant Strength in order to hold onto that, but apparently she has one of those. Sorry for the D&D reference. It's just too appropriate here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted October 5, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 5, 2011 It isn't just power, but power to weight ratio. Lots of us dudes have more power, but also carry more weight (and we simply are not as good, either). Watched this and CP video on another thread. Both stand tall in glide, both very high on the boat...I need to get higher (and lose 30 lbs while maintaining all of my power, among other things...)!

Baller Stevie Boy Posted October 6, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2011 Let me correct that statement from the drivers seat, a little to the right and then straightens up, awsome skiing, have they awarded it to Regina alrerady or is it still to be verified by the officials ?

Baller ral Posted October 6, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2011 What about the lack of shock tube (saw it in another Internet place)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ral Posted October 8, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2011 Brent, First of all, I truly believe that Regina is currently the best slalom skier in the world, and her having the world record is well deserved. But, as I anyone can see on some of my posts, I am anal about rules. IWWF Rule 10.04 j) states that "Slalom ropes must use a shock tube that is a minimum of 60 cm and a max of 1.2m". Must is the word there. On its own paragraph, as are line lenght tolerances. So, not complying with this is equivalent with not complying with the rope tolerance. Not in terms of favoring the skier, but in terms of complying with the rules. In the question about two skis tied together in another discussion, I really thought that the rulebook was not clear nor specific. On this one, I think it is crystal clear and absolutely specific. The boat video we all saw shows clearly that there was no shock tube. That video is not part of the record dossier but it shows th at 10.4 j) was broken.

Baller jipster43 Posted October 8, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2011 The way she's skiing, just throw a shock tube on there and watch her do it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ral Posted October 8, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2011 @jipster43, I totally agree. I think that judges that are overviewing a Class R tournament should care about every detail, and not expose a skier to something like this.

Baller ral Posted October 8, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2011 Brent Did not feel or think you were doing so. Just wanted to be more precise on my posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted October 8, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2011 A shock tube is a safety device and a mighty good idea, it should have no bearing on a record score. Perhaps the rules need a re-write. A reprimand for the crew or the safety judge may be appropriate...but penalizing the skier who set a record due to failure to install a safety item not in their control and that has zero effect on performance is tough to swallow. I'm sure whether or not a shock tube is on the rope is not in pre-ski routine of your typical record skier, and it should not have to be. Go Regina! Do it again...and I guess make sure the folks in the boat have a shock tube in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller unksskis Posted October 9, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 9, 2011 But to counter that, if a rule is broken, was it the only one? Not knocking the crew at all, all top notch I know, but for a legitimate world record, if this was in France/Brazil/Mexico I bet you would be singing a different tune, and pointing out that if such an easy rule is not followed, what others were bent or broken..... A skier should not be punished, nor should have to worry about checking small things like the shock tube, but there is also a reason so many people go to specific tournaments to challenge records, and that's the quality of the officials and crew.

Baller ForrestGump Posted October 9, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 9, 2011 So what are you guys saying here? That say, oh if it was found that the safety director for the tournament wasn't on site during the round that a record isn't valid???? Get real!

Baller unksskis Posted October 9, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 9, 2011 No one said anything about safety being around. The point is a simple rule was broken. Is it dumb? Yes.

Baller_ Wish Posted October 9, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted October 9, 2011 Who is the rule for? The skier or the boat crew. Could it be interpreted that it was broken for the safety of the crew and not the skier? So no harm no fowel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted October 9, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 9, 2011 My point is exactly that. A simple rule for the safety of the boat crew was broken by the boat crew. What does that have to do with the skier's performance? Absolutely zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ral Posted October 10, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 10, 2011 Rules are rules, they are not split in some that are for safety of the crew, or other. Rules are not divided in simple or important. if something "must" be used, how can it be interpreted as optional? If rules need a re-write, they need to be re-written before the change applies. Regarding the pre-routine check by skiers, boat path video, rope measuring, speed control time check after the pass, etc... are not part of the pre-routine check by skiers but part of the tournament officers. In a past thread, several were in favor of "bending" the rules for beginner skiers. So it should be done as well for world class skiers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller animal Posted October 10, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 10, 2011 I would be shocked if the record was disallowed because of the lack of a shock tube. I agree with Shane, some rules have no impact upon the persons performance. I don't think they would disallow a record simply because one of the judges towers does not have a railing on the side, even though required by rules. If that were the standard, a rival competitor on site could challenge a record for some insignificant violation they witnessed. It would never end.

Baller ral Posted October 10, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 10, 2011 Non compliance to the rule should be submitted, though, as part of the dossier: "Declaration: I, _____________________________________________ Homologator of the above competition do hereby certify that round _______________ of the ___________________ event was run strictly in accordance with the rules with exception of _____________________________________________________________________________________________ which in my opinion in no way affects the validity of the record.
