Baller mellig Posted January 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 4, 2013 Started again a few years back. I like Horton's point if supporting it considering our passion for the sport. Sounds better than looking at the pictures. My favorite part of it right now is the excitement my daughters get from see women skiing! Working hard to groom them at a young age after failing with my wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller wilecoyote Posted January 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 4, 2013 @Dacon62, I've been a fan of Top Gear for years, and I have to agree. I'm not a car guy at all, but I watch a car show. Can't remember which one, but it think it was Toyota that refused to submit any more cars for review after Top Gear gave one a really bad review. So they took one for a test drive from a local dealer and reviewed it (poorly) anyways. That certainly is a model for all mags to follow, but it takes some serious stones to do so.

FrankS Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I get it and always look forward to finding one in the mailbox. Honestly, I like it mostly for the pictures. I also like it alot better than "The Water Skier" which is full of kneeboarding, hydrofoiling, and ski racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted January 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 4, 2013 I resubscribed in 2012 digitally, if for no other reason than to support Todd R now that he's at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted January 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 4, 2013 @Horton I just did my part. I just sent a printed subscription to a randomly picked OBGYN, and my own doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller B_S Posted January 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 4, 2013 I had it from around '82 until a few years ago. At the time when my last subcription was up, I sent in the renewal notice, but never received any mags, only a notice to pay. I told them I'd gladly pay if they would only send me the issues they were trying to charge me for. They didn't, and even had a collection agency come after me! Needless to say, I'll NEVER pay, or have, that rag in my home ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller scuppers Posted January 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 4, 2013 I agree with @Dacon62 & @Horton. Todd has a very tough job and he does very well with it, but the "political correctness" has made it's arrival in my mail box a non event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Texas6 Posted January 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've been a subscriber since I was capable of paying my own way in the world, and I'm glad that I am. I've watched it ebb and flow through various levels of thickness, various editors, and various watersport flavors of the month. The political correctness is as transparent as the boat reviews, and I completely understand the dilemma. Despite all of that, ai still look forward to picking up that magazine once it lands in my mailbox every single time. Keep em' coming Todd!!

Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted January 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 6, 2013 I get it and always look forward to finding one in the mailbox. Honestly, I like it mostly for the pictures.

Baller SkiJay Posted January 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 28, 2013 I think Todd does a great job with it. There really isn't much they can say that hasn't been covered a hundred times already so it's got to be tough coming up with content. The pictures, on the other hand, are excellent providing lots of different perspectives for study. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GregDavis Posted January 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted January 28, 2013 Todd should have put himself on the cover for winning the Nautique Big Dawg World Tour. Come on ( 4 at 41 ), in the dark, Took down The Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Onside135 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted January 28, 2013 Does anyone recall the issue where Todd responded to a letter to the editor when someone complained about a scantily clad woman in one of the advertisements. It was a few years back, but it was hilarious. I think he may have lost that particular subscriber, but I've been a fan of his and the magazine ever since...

Baller bbirlew Posted February 17, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 17, 2013 Ive been a subscriber for ~20 years now. A few years ago I wanted to do a little something for my ski crew, so I had some fun on my computer and put together a 'waterski magazine' complete with photos of them, copies of popular adverts but subbing in their pictures, and my own 'letters to the editor' section poking a bit of fun at them all! I made each of them a cover with tag lines having a bit of fun at their expense. Then I printed them all off at a site called 'mag cloud' which lets you publish your own magazines. Here are the covers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aswinter05 Posted February 17, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 17, 2013 Just subscribed to 3 years (18 issues) of the "paper" magazine. $23.97 for 3 years. Figured I would support the industry and hopefully get some good reading in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted February 18, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 18, 2013 Sent my 3 year subcription in a weekd ago. Can't wait for the next mag to show up in the mail.

Baller Onside135 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted March 29, 2013 Though BoS is certainly the place for technical slalom info and some good laughs, I think I still get the magazine because I think Todd is ridiculous.

Baller swc5150 Posted April 9, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 9, 2013 Out of the blue today, this arrived:) I renewed my sub about 6 months ago, and completely forgot it included a thermos. This made my day, after hearing we could get 10" of snow tomorrow. We should be skiing already!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted April 10, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 10, 2013 I've been tempted to resubscribe, but I get so put off by the articles linked to the emails. http://waterskimag.com/waterski-brand-channel/2013/02/04/5-ways-to-eliminate-slack/?LIST_ID=834652&cmpid=enewsmalibu02222013&spPodID=030&spMailingID=16511388&spUserID=NDYwMjkyODQ4MgS2&spJobID=212148000&spReportId=MjEyMTQ4MDAwS0 5 ways to eliminate slack. 1. Buy a TXi to get smaller wakes. 2. Actual Slalom Content 3. Buy a TXi to get better tracking. 4. Get ZO by buying a new boat such as a TXi 5. Get a Txi so your driver is less taxed by driving you. That's just useless to me, I'm never in the market for a NEW boat. Is this what the magazine's articles are doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
