Baller_ RichardDoane Posted January 2, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted January 2, 2015 @bogboy - have you ever tried wearing your vest on the inside of the spacesuit ? it keeps you a little warmer and a lot more flexible IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller OldGuysRule Posted January 3, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 3, 2015 Kevin Day and the Missouri Disabled Water Ski Association conducted their annual Polar Bear Water Ski event on January 1st on the "mighty" Mississippi River at the Arch. Water was 32 degrees and the air was 32 degrees. Acts included a bare footer, pyramid, kneeboard, slalom, pairs, and an appearance by Santa on the reclinoski. The event raised nearly $6,000 for the association's summer activities. No sissies in the Midwest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Wish Posted January 18, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted January 18, 2015 Well, first set of 2015 and first time out in over 5 weeks. Lower back issues...had to get better first. Did not chase the little red buoys. Playing it safe for a while. So wide ride ski for easy ups, 26mph 28off doing pull out drills, whip drills and lean drills. 8 passes with spins at one end. Order of the day, see how the back felt after (good by the way), stay focused of body position and form, and increase strength. Even worked a bit on getting forward on the ski as mentioned in the advanced thread. Will probably continue this way for several weeks. Better then looking at the lake watching others use it. Love that ski by the way. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted January 19, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted January 19, 2015 @thager - that's the factory tower that comes with a loaded Prostar, we've learned to deal with it, you could consider it a short-coming, but that would be biting the hand that feeds you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller usaski1 Posted January 19, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 19, 2015 Fist set of the year yesterday in TX. air 65, water 47, no wind. It felt great.. Just riding the trick around. Slalom in the winter just equals frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted January 19, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 19, 2015 UCLA enjoyed a sweet day at my Coachella Valley lake yesterday. Great weather (60 water, 79 air, sunshine) and great kids. They have a long way to go but fantastic learning curves. SDSU got a few kids out midweek last week. College kids have such a great attitude! Personally got a couple fun rides myself with them.
