Baller GOODESkier Posted July 25, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted July 25, 2015 Yes, flextail. Skied inside5@38 today to place 4th at western regionals. I am going to run lots of tourney 38's on this flex tail. Ski makes it easy as 35! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GOODESkier Posted August 26, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted August 26, 2015 RAN ANOTHER ONE THIS WEEKEND! So excited to do it again! This time it was the Hilltop Record Tournament. Now to start making that the pass I can run all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted August 26, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 26, 2015 @goodeskier go get 'em! I'm curious to try a flextail but running into low back issues one year after neck surgery...epidural steroid injections Thursday. Brother has a demo flextail hoping the injections work as I'd like to strap my bindings to that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GOODESkier Posted August 26, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted August 26, 2015 Dave Miller looks crazy GOODE on the new Nano One FT. It is the shape of the ONE and XT but with the flex tail. I have never seen him ski so smooth! That is the one I would strap the bindings to if you were looking. I will be on the Flex Tail for the remainder of the year atleast.

kingshredd Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Got my first full pass on the course last weekend, 30mph 15 off, so my goal is to make a full set of passes by the end of the season! Also that was only the third time I have ever been on a course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted August 27, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2015 @goodeskier but which nano one rocker pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ralph Lee Posted August 27, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2015 My goal is to not yell at, flip off, or scream curse words at 6 ball, as I fly by on the inside of it at 180 mph. In front of children anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GOODESkier Posted August 27, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted August 27, 2015 @MattP I know there are lots of versions in the mix. My best description is that I skied well on the XT but BETTER on the Flex Tail design. I went from the 66.75 XT to the the 66.5 Flex Tail. Picked up an entire pass this year in tournaments. I do believe the current flex tail may be better for those of us on the upper weight of the ski sizing and the new nano one FT may be suited for the guys at the lower weight of the sizing. I have not skied on the production version of the ONE FT, but I liked the proto ALOT! It felt easy AND IT WAS A 65.25 that I tried! So, for what that is worth.................... Get out and try a ski! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller sunvalleylaw Posted August 27, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hopefully get some more skiing in with a camera and person to film to send in and get some coaching, so as to re-direct focus for improving efficient movement and stance as I close out this year, and start visualizing for next year. Second, feed the stoke of my sons to get into slalom, and help them get going on form and fun. Also, get a plan to replace my boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Booze Posted August 27, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2015 My ongoing goal is to place in Regionals or Nationals. The former is obviously more realistic. The last two years Regs, had I just run my normal practice average I would placed, but just didn't get it done. For some strange reason I have almost always skied better in the Nats than Regs. Has anyone else have that 'issue'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted August 27, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hurt pretty much all year. Only even looked at 32 once. Pretty much a wasted season. Back is feeling a little better I may try to get on the water this weekend. I am crazy jealous of @GOODESkier and all of you that have skied well this year congrats to all of you.

Baller Aguavidapirate Posted August 27, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2015 As someone who has adopted waterskiing as the go-to sport for my 40-60 age range (and beyond hopefully), the amount of goals around staying healthy in the above is a bit disconcerting - especially after experiencing my first rib injury (fortunately not major). That said, I'm likely never going to be skiing the speeds (i.e. rope lengths) that many of you are at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller slalom frog Posted August 28, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2015 My goal was to finally run 38, which I did about 10 days ago. I have not had the chance to try it again since but I was completely stoked to achieve something that has been on my radar for this summer and last summer. Granted, I have only run it once, but it's nice to know that I can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
