Baller aupatking Posted January 21, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @davemac I love that Orange EP. I don't know why. I hooked up the blue EP with an O'Brien Force 5 boot and HO RTP. I'm going to put on a spring tournament for myself and friends (who won't sue me) and round 2 everyone rides the "Mullet". That EP is the Mullet. From the 80's and business on top, party on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted January 21, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @Wish it's slalom tug season. Any day warm enough to ski, is still too cold for the wife to want to go for a boat ride = no back seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted January 21, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted January 21, 2016 @aupatking, I skied on an EP Super 2 until 2005. I bought it used around 1980. I may have even had a mullet-esque haircut for a year in there somewhere. Now, I can only barely remember having enough hair to pull that off. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller Bill22 Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 I see the classic 70's Mach I. I learned to slalom on a Mach I. What ski is on the top right shelf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted January 21, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @Bill22 Ricky McCormick Cypress Gardens trick ski. The one I learned on. I will never let that one go. I've also got the first HO Mach 1, just not here right now. I want to find a wooden O'Brien Mach One, and stop there, hopefully. I just think the first aluminum top O'Brien Mach 1 is a good looking ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller aupatking Posted January 21, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @Bill22 It is! I've got her little bitty Reflex boot coming in Monday. I'm hoping we can dial it down enough to release for her, but at 15 mph, it's very likely a non-issue. Now that you mention it, I really wish I had the Nomad leaned out where everyone could see it. That is still a great ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dano Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 F44 craze above the window. I bought one brand new when I was 13. Skied behind my dads 26' cabin cruiser with it. Gave it to my nephew last summer to learn on. Nice and wide makes the deep water starts a breeze for the young ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 That sounds funny a Reflex for a 9 year old. I saw the red and black on the Nomad and thought it was a A3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted January 21, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @Dano I bet the F44 Craze is only 2nd to the Concept in Connelly's best selling Skis of all time, only because the Concept ran for 30 years. Everyone had a craze. I know a guy that still has 2. One with each fin option. You're right, great for teaching the smaller ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller igkya Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @Wayne , why is the hot tub in the garage? It's best used outside, even in winter. I actually use mine more in the colder months. For everyone else, I understand your hatred for winter, but learn to love (or at least like ) it. Great chance to rest, snow ski, get in shape for next season, drink excessive amounts of beer, ski in extremely cold water, move south, try out new gear, watch football, watch college basketball, etc. ... who do i sound like?

Baller oldjeep Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 I like the cold. My eternal 53 ford 1 ton project keeps the tuning bench and winter skis company in the back garage. Front garage keeps the boat warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art90notch Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 @aupatking You may have an addiction.... I can't really call it a problem because you did get me up on a slalom this summer. I bought a ski, then a boat, then another ski, then another... Ok, so I may have the same addiction. There needs to be an a2 over between the a1 and a3..

Baller Wayne Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @igkya it's a cheap one that not rated for tolerating the Michigan winters. We had a really nice HotSprings spa at our old house that I hated to give up but it helped sell the house. Someday I will invest in another nice one, maybe build my boat dock to support the thing and have a lake side hot tub! I agree, for those that never used one, the winter time is the best. Your hair is frozen but your are warm at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 Is my garage ridiculous? Why, yes! Yes, it is.... and I'm NOT going to take a picture :) Wait... which garage? Oh, yeah... they're ALL ridiculous. I have different "departments". The important thing is I make enough room for my wife to park in one of them.

Baller Chef23 Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 Unfortunately my garage is really small and barely fits my wife's car. My car and the boat have to winter outside. It was worth the trade off to get the house on the lake we ski on though. @aupatking my son was on a Reflex when he was 9. He was skiing faster than 15 as he reached max speed but we never had any trouble with it. We used it for both trick and slalom for him and he is still using Reflex now at 17.

Baller aupatking Posted January 21, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @Chef23 thanks for the info. We're gonna do a good bit of dry-land testing but she likes to put mine on, on my balance board/Reflex tester. @Bill22 I'm 1 1/2 pallets into tiling the whole house, 1 1/2 to go. Right now the car and boat are outside too. That stuff is cluttering up my ski shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 Does anyone have a need for a 6 foot tall rat cage? Right now it has some spare bindings piled on it and I hang wet wetsuits on it when I get home from the lake. Yes, ridiculous... absolutely.

Baller Chef23 Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @oldjeep I love your tuning station. I have a very ghetto one in my basement but it is nothing like that. I used to do a lot of ski tuning in my younger days but now I just try to make sure they slide and have an edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @Chef23 I got bored last winter and decided to get artistic with it - had a bunch of extra cedar laying around. It works well, but not any better than a board with a couple vises mounted to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller aupatking Posted January 21, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @oldjeep I like your ceiling racks. I actually, all around, like the ceiling. How are your inverted racks built? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted January 21, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 21, 2016 @aupatking the ceiling racks are something that I keep meaning to re-do. Currently they are just 4 bike hooks with 1x2's hanging from them. They are a little too close to the ceiling for some skis and the 1x2's move around when you are loading equipment onto them. haven't had anything fall yet but I keep meaning to firmly attach them with some spacers rather than the hooks. The ceiling itself looks like what happens when someone is really bored. The original owner of the house was a contractor and those are all scraps of tongue and groove porch flooring - none of them bigger than about 3 feet and all hand nailed.

Baller JayG80 Posted January 30, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 30, 2016 Nothing photogenic like some of the previous posts. My single car garage has a 10 ft ceiling where the Nautique trailer hangs from a couple of beams. A utility trailer, riding mower and golf cart live below the boat trailer. Keeps the boat trailer out of the elements since the boat lives in a cradle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Rmengdahl Posted January 31, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 31, 2016 Currently has a snowmobile in it... Mine is too small.

Baller liquid d Posted January 31, 2016 Baller Share Posted January 31, 2016 @JayG80 ...I'd love to see how you "hang" a trailer well enough to walk under it without fearing for your life every time you enter your garage.

Baller_ MISkier Posted January 31, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted January 31, 2016 My garage needs a good cleaning and there are many things that need to be thrown away. When I had the house built, I had the garage design expanded to 26 feet deep to allow most standard ski boats to be stored with the platform attached and no need for a folding tongue on the trailer. I had the big door expanded to 18 feet wide (instead of the standard 16 feet) and the small door is 10 feet wide (instead of the standard 9 feet). Both doors are 8 feet tall (instead of the standard 7 feet) to allow for a car top carrier on the roof of an SUV. There are hot and cold water faucets inside and it was piped for natural gas. I haven't purchased/installed the ceiling mounted heater yet, but it has only been 16 years. I'll get around to it. The boat is covered with the original shipping cover from the factory. It was preserved enough to be re-used for long distance towing and really covers the boat well. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.
