Baller A_B Posted December 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 22, 2011 the Krista's cover shoot.. hard to beat. I'm a visual kind of guy, don't pay attention to stories.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Gloersen Posted December 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 22, 2011 Nate Smith How many consecutive tournament 39.5's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted December 22, 2011 Gold Member Share Posted December 22, 2011 Did I happen to mention that I ran -38 in a tournament? :-) On a more serious note, Regina's world record is obviously a big one. Probably some mention of the increase in ski companies and broader selection of top-notch skis would be in order. BallOfSpray crossed 3M visits! Traci Baylon left USA Waterski. The awful conditions at Nationals on certain days was a "big story" at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted December 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 22, 2011 Nate. Regina. First year of the Carbon Pro. Electric Nautique. Growth of BOS. Excitement for the ZO emulator. As for pics, I agree w/AB on Krista and also Breanne...that photo in swimwear only at full extension heading to the ball was really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rq0013 Posted December 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 22, 2011 I would simply say RadaR. Larkin and Whitney dominated, they won most of the tourneys or placed on the podium all year. Pretty cool how one ski can be on the podium every competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted December 23, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted December 23, 2011 For me, it was my daughter making it to Nationals. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Roger Posted December 23, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 23, 2011 Open Men: Nate Open Women: Whitney joined Regina and Karina in the 41 off club and all three went into 41 at least once this year. (Yes, I know the club was started by Kristi; talking active Open Women here) Big Dawg: A new bar was set at the Okeeheelee finals with a pass into 41 and another of deep 39 required to reach the sweet 16 (previously 2.5 or 3 at 39 twice would get you there).

Baller Ilivetoski Posted December 23, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 23, 2011 Breaking the 2k mark for GOODE. That price will only incease is the sad part. Team RadaR doing amazing. The new Txi (not sure if that would count since it didnt come out until most peoples season was over). Nate Smith, just anything to do with Nate. Larkin winning back to back moombas and Whitney winning worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller TonyLightfoot Posted December 26, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 26, 2011 How about: The first ever YouTube tournament water ski video to go over 150,000 viewers (Kyle Dammeyer - featured on ESPN's Sportscenter and Around the Horn, Big 12 Network and soon on TruTV) ? Tim Bradstreet - last jump heroics at the World U-21 Championships to win Overall and undisputed best jumper in the world at 1.65m ramp height? Natallia Berdnikava - world jump record, three golds at the World's? Jacinta Carroll - coming through with several pro jumping wins this season? Stephen Critchley - all or nothing on his last jump at the European Championships, and coming through with an impressive win? Adam Sedlmajer - well-deserved overall-double gold at the World's and European's, and taking down two slalom giants to win the Europeans in Slalom? Ryan Green - all but forgotten about among the World's elite skiers, achieving a dream overall podium finish at the World's? Rodrigo Miranda - first ever World Open Championships medal for Chile, in the Men's jump? Delfi Cuglievan - first ever World Championship Gold for Peru in the World U-21 Women's slalom championship? Clem Lucine - first women over 10k in tricks? Regina Jaquess - new World Record in Slalom, further down 41' off? That's just a few I can come up with at the top of my head - I might have more....

Baller TonyLightfoot Posted December 26, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 26, 2011 Another one to consider: Aaron Larkin - #1 in the World Elite Rankings on the back of some great slalom wins, including two impressive back-to-back wins at Princes and Diablo Shores?
