Baller ForrestGump Posted August 6, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2012 So we were fooling around last week and one of my ski partners dared me to go out long line 30mph. Knowing that @skidawg tried long line 36, I thought what the hell. Holy crap! That was the hardest thing I've ever done! The wake is WIIIIIIDE!. Like it feels like it's a football field wide! lol. I was laughing so hard I almost fell at every buoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted August 6, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2012 It does teach them good body position because they need to be in it for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller elr Posted August 6, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2012 Goofing around this weekend my 14 yo backed up 36/15 with 15.5/15 - said 15.5 was harder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted August 6, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think at our next tournament I'm going to try and have a winner take all backwards round. $10 entry for the round, no kids, start at your normal opener and go backwards. Winner is the slowest at longest line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted August 6, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 6, 2012 @ShaneH that sounds like fun. You might want to pick a starting line length though. Guys that start at 28 off could take a long time. I would definitely do it if I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted August 6, 2012 Supporting Member Share Posted August 6, 2012 Can we bring a custom 76" ski for this event? :) I can see that being a blast, but Chef23 is right that folks should probably get to start wherever they want. Off the top of my head, I think I'd want to start about about 52k/long. I *think* I could make 49k, 46k, and maybe 43k, but 40k (about 25 mph) starts to seems very dubious -- at least without a custom giant ski.

Baller ForrestGump Posted August 6, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted August 6, 2012 hahahaha. No, you have to use the ski you skied the regular rounds in. But starting wherever is a good idea. To make it really challenging, maybe I should schedule the MC197 to pull it. hahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted August 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2012 You should definitely pull it with a 197. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller tfriess Posted August 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 7, 2012 What's wrong with a 197 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted August 7, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted August 7, 2012 Terrible, hard slow speed wakes. The 197 beats up the kids at tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
