Baller RazorRoss3 Posted July 30, 2016 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2016 I went out to a private site with @Razorskier1 this morning and waltzed my way down my first ever -35@36mph straight up the line and put up a half at -38. Oh what fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Andre Posted July 30, 2016 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2016 Nice skiing,congrats! I remember when @Chef23 posted the same thing couples of years ago. Did you ran it again since with your injuries ? My ski finish in 16.95 but my ass is out of tolerance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted July 30, 2016 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2016 @Andre I haven't run it again. Barely skied with shoulder and back issues the last two years. Plus a bad ski change. I am back on the ski I ran 35 on at least and if I get my back squared away would like to get some more looks at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller RazorRoss3 Posted July 30, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted July 30, 2016 Thanks @Andre and @Chef23, it was really fun to put it down. I knew after last weekend that if I could just get a decent 3 ball I was golden and that's just what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted July 31, 2016 Supporting Member Share Posted July 31, 2016 Sept 19, 2002. In other words, running -35 at 36 was such a milestone that I still remember the exact date 14 years later. So huge congrats!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller schafer Posted July 31, 2016 Baller Share Posted July 31, 2016 Great skiing @RazorRoss3 I've done it once. Now just gotta find a way to repeat it. Tell me all your secrets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RazorRoss3 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted July 31, 2016 @schafer, pull lighter, I try to stay tall and not load the line too much. It also all comes back to the gate, pull a good gate and it gets much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RazorRoss3 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted August 20, 2016 Oops, I did it again. Went out to the Aquaplex and put down my second -35. Conveniently I have a tournament there tomorrow so that's a pretty good confidence boost. Thanks to the good driving of the ski partner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller schafer Posted August 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 20, 2016 Thanks @RazorRoss3 for the tips. I skied last week with zero off and felt like I was gonna run it easy til I freaked out at 4 cause I was so early. I seldom get to ski zero off. And I feel like my stargazer I don't get that quick zip off the buoy like I do with zero off. Do you ever ski perfect pass anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RazorRoss3 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted August 20, 2016 @schafer, I rarely ski PP/stargazer/ZBox. The two systems aren't the same, that's for sure. my advice would be to try to ski technically correct, the talker and smoother you can ski, the less you'll notice the difference in throttle patterns. I skied ZBox up in Hutto, TX the other day and was good for buoys at -35 which is around my average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brettmainer Posted August 20, 2016 Members Share Posted August 20, 2016 I just dropped a boat off at Pleasant Oak for a tourney tomorrow (that I can't ski in due to kid's football). My all time favorite skiing memory happened here. I ran 35 in a tournament for the first time. Perfect little headwind, and I knocked it down 7yrs after running 32 for the first time. I got 1.5@38, then proceeded to watch the skier after me (Scott Papapietro) also run 35 for the first time. He got 1.5 @38. We sat there on the shore by 2 ball, and people started bringing us beer. We sat there all afternoon, singing "Happy Boy" and drank A LOT of beer. I miss M2. Can't believe I'm in M4 now. Hopefully you get 35 in the tournament tomorrow. 35/36 is no small feat.

Baller RazorRoss3 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted August 20, 2016 If I pull it off today it would be the 3rd time in my life but that would be damn cool. The focus is to run the passes before it. Gotta earn the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
