Baller Chef23 Posted August 9, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2017 I am continuing to make progress quickly. I got out this morning for my second recovery set on a slalom. Right now I am skiing on an old 69" HO Charger at 30 mph 22 off. I was a little worried about getting out of the water but I came up no problem. The first set last week I only got up once. This time I skied a ways doing wake crossings and I was less tentative than last time. I wouldn't say it was aggressive yet. I am not quite ready to run the course even at 30 mph. I need to get more core strength and more time on the ski. It is great riding the slalom again though. I do feel like I will run the course before this year is out which is ahead of where I expected to be. I was hoping to ride the jumpers around the lake in August and hopefully just be on a slalom before the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller andjules Posted August 9, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2017 Enjoy the free skiing and get the muscles in shape through predictable, tight-line skiing. As you know, course skiing can mean turning when you have to, which sometimes means hanging on to slack hits (or burying the tip to compensate). Keep it smooth. Great to be back though, isn't it? Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted August 9, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'm envious...and a little frightened. The thought of my right foot/ankle/leg in a real binding gives me a little pause...I'll get there eventually...really weird never been nervous post injury before. The jumpers work ok cuz I have old, big adjustable bindings on 'em. Hopefully can join you on a slalom soon...keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

303Skier Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Take it slow and ease into it! Build on strength and rest will follow. Do lots of core exercises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andre Posted August 9, 2017 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2017 Congrats @Chef23 ! How does it feel to ski at 180 lbs ? I know you'll gain back a couples but hoping for not all of it!!! Good luck! 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 August 10, 2017 Author Baller Share Posted August 10, 2017 @Andre I still feel weak. Even though I was a lot heavier before I was much stronger. It is awesome to be back on the water though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
