Baller epnault Posted June 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2017 Reminds me of my kids (very amateur wake-boarders) complaining about us only having a ProStar and the wakes not good enough for tricks. I reminded them of a time when we saw a POS deck boat full of kids with a homemade raised tow point pulling a teenager just killing it doing back flips and other tricks. Speaking of Brooks, I callled Radar a couple weeks back and got transferred to him. I really wanted him to talk me into a new ski but he told me to stick with what I got and send him some videos to look at. What??? Sometimes there are cool things about our sport.

Baller_ Wish Posted June 28, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted June 28, 2017 Brooks is not awesome. The guy keeping that Carlson between the boat guides is awesome. Fun to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted June 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2017 Boat speed was somewhere between 34 and 28/;) actually pretty close to 30. Hadn't gassed an outboard with a skier behind in a long time, especially someone skiing at 38 off. Hands were full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller keithh2oskier Posted June 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2017 I got a avg calculated time of 21.21 which would put it somewhere around the 27 mph mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted June 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 29, 2017 Okay so I lied. Brooks was on the Katana not the Butterknife! Both are awesome skis that rip at slower speeds. They told me the sixties were going to catch up with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted January 26, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted January 26, 2020 @RichardDoane thanks for the bump. There is a long list of us who miss eddie. First class guy all around. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted January 26, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2020 I miss Eddie a lot. I miss all of the mid-afternoon phone calls where we talked about completely inappropriate things that I cannot repeat in this forum. Occasionally we talked about water skiing also.

Baller klindy Posted January 26, 2020 Baller Share Posted January 26, 2020 That’s awesome. Miss Eddie too! Watch the waterline of the boat in the video. Either the end course video or a shot looking back with the motor in the view would be cool! Not to critique at all but to watch the effort to steer the boat would be interesting!

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted January 26, 2020 Author Baller_ Share Posted January 26, 2020 We’ll get that old Glastron out for the celebration of his life on May 30th at the lake. He loved that goofy old boat because it was a nice reminder of his water skiing roots on Puget Sound with his dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller theboardingschool Posted January 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted January 27, 2020 @FWinter and I have discussed the fact that if there were some weird ass decathlon of slalom events, that Brooks would be the undisputed world champ every year. He’s a freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted January 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted January 27, 2020 @theboardingschool If there was an actual weird ass slalom decathlon scheduled, I'd be on a plane to watch no matter where it was hosted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skibrain Posted February 2, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 2, 2020 Love this. I’ve owned a couple of CVX-16s and never used one to pull a skier through the course, but driving an 1,100 lb boat with a shortline skier is definitely a handful!
