Baller ntx Posted October 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 25, 2012 Andy Mapple is 3rd after the prelims at the World Waterski Championships. 1st Marc Bedsole 6280 2nd Angel Francisco 5110 3rd Andy Mapple 5090 fyi This is from the trick event. Pretty impressive. It's been a long time since Andy skied a trick event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller auskier Posted October 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 25, 2012 could probably still fly 160... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted October 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 25, 2012 5000+ points is a bitchen trick score for someone who doesn't trick much any longer. Geez! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jcamp Posted October 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm going to give Bedsole crap for the rest of his life if he loses to Mapple in tricks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted October 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 25, 2012 It is very cool that Andy went out and threw up 5k points. I am hoping to hit 2 someday. I saw April Coble trick this past summer for the first time in 2 years and it was amazing what she could ump out there and do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ntx Posted October 25, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted October 25, 2012 Anyone know for sure how long ago that video was from? My guess is close to 20 years. Maybe more. Someone who knows more about the Nautique boat might be able to say what year the boat is. Still 5100 is a big score. Wonder if it included any flips.

Baller andjules Posted October 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 25, 2012 It's a "2001" Nautique, which means somewhere between 1982-89. It's a foggy memory, but I think he was a slalom specialist by the second half of the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted October 26, 2012 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2012 Add a flip and a SLB that would be my old trick run. Sure as hell can not do most of that crap anymore Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Become a Supporting Member or make a One-time Donation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 What's with the shorts he's wearing in that video??? No cool - even for the 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Inboardfix Posted October 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 29, 2012 Pretty sure it is a 1985 SN pulling AM in the video. It is not '87 or newer because the bow vents were under the windshield '87-89. It is not an '82 because there are no side vents on the windshield. Also, '82-84 had painted stripes w/stenciled "Ski Nautique" in big bold letters (usually/almost always a triple stripe pattern). This is either an '85 or '86 and the interior on the '86 engine cover only had 3 stripes (big center accented by 2 smaller stripes). Also, it looks like the stripe goes all the way to the rubrail about 3' from the transom but it is real hard to tell from the view in the video. However, it does look like it and the '85 was the only year it went up to the rubrail. '86-89 the stripe tapered up but did not go all the way to the rubrail and in '89 it did not taper at all. Ryno, AM's shorts were pretty common in the trick world at the time. You'll see a lot of video from the '80s of Tory Baggiano and Cory Pickos wearing similar shorts (probably lots of others as well).

Baller thager Posted October 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wow, I feel old. Those shorts came after the cutoff jean shorts everyone wore in the 70's. Not that I was there or there's anything wrong with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
