Baller Niles Taylor Posted August 26, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 26, 2014 @AB thanks for the great pointers in the killer turns not needed thread, they helped. I ran my first full pass last night! -15 @ 28. This forum is terrific. Even if I wasn't skiing with guys that are way better than I am in the boat, I feel like I still ski with everyone here. I learn so much on this forum. Thanks everyone who contributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller usaski1 Posted August 26, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 26, 2014 Wait till you sell your house, and move 1800 miles away, to live on a ski lake. with no family, and no jobs when you get there. Then you know your really crazy in love for skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted August 26, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 26, 2014 Nice work, Niles. Yes, you now have a whole lot of ski partners. Welcome to constant thoughts of little orange balls, half-submerged on a mirror like surface, the sun coming up and the fog lifting...the sound of an inboard idling nearby.

Baller wilecoyote Posted August 27, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2014 Well, I wasn't going to post, but it seems appropriate now. Me too! Last year the best I did before I got hurt was getting a look at 4 ball. This spring to save my knee I switched to LFF from RFF, went through a steep learning curve, and, last night, finally ran the course. I'm jazzed. I'd been trying @30, pulling out wide for 1 ball. Last week I did a quick coaching session with Jason McClintock and he suggested doing the gates and skiing at 28. Last night with my regular coach (Thanks Yves) driving I missed about a hundred gates and then finally nailed a gate and ran the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibumsam Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 @wilecoyote Wow congrats on the successful Transfer from rff to lff that had to be tough! Hoping to get my first pass by the end of this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
