Baller gregy Posted September 16, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2014 His outside hand is just getting to the handle in the pic. Talk about completing the turn before grabbing the handle! Amazing picture @horton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted September 16, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted September 16, 2014 @AB, I'd say he is just about sitting on that buoy on the onside turn. @Horton, if that had been his sponsoring boat company, that photo would be in their ad for sure. Awesome! Maybe D3 would want it. Either way, it is definitely ad-worthy. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller A_B Posted September 16, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2014 Can we now stop the babble about not getting too much angle, light on the line, blah blah blah.... Nate puts so much load on the line its ridculous.. I know this is 41, but even at 32 off, he comes down on a turn edge after or on top of the second wake.

Baller_ Wish Posted September 16, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted September 16, 2014 Freeze frame him sometime in a vid right before the tip of his ski makes it to the centerline going through the gates. +1 for what @AB said....massive load. Nothing light about it. It's just in the right spot with the perfect duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DmaxJC_ski Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 Said it a 100 times.... I don't think Nate smith is human!! That sick pic right there puts that much more confirmation into my theory... Nice work @Horton. I ski at shalom park near Edmonton and Ken Nelson the owner of the site was able to ride in on some Practice sets of Nates prior to the California pro am, he told me it was incredible.

Baller MrJones Posted September 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 24, 2014 I was actually talking with Chad about that pic this weekend. He thought that it was done at 38. Amazing that is from the far end of 41. Also. I would think that if my ski was generating that amount of angle through the back side of the turn I would feel pretty comfortable waiting to load as well. I realize that the two go hand in hand, but if you were balanced over the ski like that, with it already pointed across course... wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
