Baller fu_man Posted March 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2013 Lucky: When I get my hips replaced I'm going to win a Big Dawg and then MAYBE they'll put my picture in the magazine. My Brother: Lucky, would you really go back and compete? Lucky: If you was John C Holmes and your d!@% was broke, and then you got it fixed, wouldn't you go back to doing what you do?

bogboy Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 "We'll, I see some good things." Gordon rathbun about 4 years ago, Acapulco, after seeing 40 years of my bad habits and practically the first time I saw a slalom course. "Keep your chest up"' and "pull the g.d. Pillion out of the boat". Our friend last may in winterhhaven, where I made my first full pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Lowe in an arm cast at the waterski museum after posing for a photo with my wife, and inviting us for a ski lesson the next day at his lake. "Blank stare". Marcus brown, after autographing my wife's ski at rainier lake after my wife, as a joke said to him that she skis at 15 off, but she was thinking about putting it back on. "We'll, tell him to go back home and get it". Will Asher at a dealer promotion after my wife told him that she forgot to bring her ski, for an autograph.

Baller Waternut Posted March 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2013 There is no failure except in not trying. I've never been good friends with anyone who is so afraid of getting hurt or failing, that they refuse to try something new. In fact, it's usually the fastest way to get me to quit talking to you.

Baller A_B Posted March 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2013 Get mean at the green. Referring to the jump from 28 to 32 off. Point your p_cker where you want to go. (Just works for guys) Don't forget to breathe out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller A_B Posted March 27, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 27, 2013 Heard in certain parts of NW Ohio or S Michigan: "You want to rub some white stuff on?" Refers to the perception of the boat crew that the skier is being a wimp, and a tube of vagisil conveniently stored in the glovebox is needed.

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted March 27, 2013 Supporting Member Share Posted March 27, 2013 For me, Mapple's quote applies even more to a tournament. The most dangerous mindframe I can get into is one of "don't miss this pass." That invariable leads to tensing up, doing everything complete wrong, and -- you guess it -- missing the pass. Instead I just have to focus on technique and aggressiveness. (I could imagine the latter being dangerous for some skiers, but I'm a naturally passive guy, so I have to try to crank it up.)
