Baller DanE Posted November 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 21, 2011 OK, this summer my son got hooked on slalom. Ran the regular course for the first time (he´s 11 years old) and made huge progress in a very short period of time. He´s been watching the film "Edged in water" over and over and I was looking for a newer waterski film as a christmas gift. Any recommendations ?

Baller davemac Posted November 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 21, 2011 Then why not get him "Edged in Water 2". I noticed that H2Osmosis has several videos on their website (Edged in Water 1 & 2, Momentum, Gifted, 32 Accounts). You might consider giving them a call to see if a "package price" for a few of them is available. You can cut and paste this url (since I'm too dumb to post a link).... www.h2oproshop.com/waterski-slalom-wakeboard-dvds.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted November 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 21, 2011 My son (12) really likes The Secret Spot. http://www.thesecretspothd.com/store.html He also like 32 accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04196 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The Ski Paradise w/ Andy is a good video but somewhat technical. Gordon's 12 slalom drills is an excellent "basic" video that can help build correct habits. Be careful, there is one out there (can't remember right off hand which one and don't want to guess) that has some fairly explicit song lyrics that are not appropriate for an 11 yr old, too bad because it's not a bad video.

Baller 6balls Posted November 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 21, 2011 Can you still get The Secret Spot? I tried last year around xmas time and never could find it in stock. The movie trailer is a total "pump you up" kind of video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpreuss Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I found edged in water 2 a huge disappointment. Nothing like the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller auskier Posted November 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 22, 2011 what dont you like about 32 accounts @rico? back in the day when I was your sons age @DanE I would tape the moomba masters here in Australia every year. Each day there would be 4 hours or so of skiing live on TV for 3 days! I would watch it over and over again. I knew every score of every round of every skier, and could probably have put the tv on mute and done the commentary also! haha Spending hours in front of the tv watching my tapes of wade, andy, and that young new kid on the block, chris parrish, is probably one of the main reasons why I fell for the sport. Get him every video you can get your hands on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted November 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 22, 2011 We didn't get water skiing on TV when I was a kid (or have VCRs). I used to just re-read Water Skiing magazines or whatever the pub was at the time all winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DanE Posted November 23, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted November 23, 2011 Thank you guys, @Rico what about the 32 accounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted November 23, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2011 I loved the first Edged In Water, but the second isn't nearly as good. I can watch the first one over and over (at least the slalom sections) and it both helps me visualize better technique and gets me pumped to go skiing. The second one just doesn't have enough pure ski video, which is what gets me going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Gloersen Posted November 23, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 23, 2011 "Evolve" Slalom Quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted November 24, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 24, 2011 I didn't think Evolve was that great...actually gave it away. Liked the first Edged much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Gloersen Posted November 24, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 24, 2011 May not be much for didactics but some good video footage & decent music for young people; to each their own. ....oh yes, & should stir those considering adding tip rise...intentionally, really???

Baller 6balls Posted November 24, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 24, 2011 No doubt, Gloersen, if it gets you pumped about skiing it's all good...and that may be subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
