Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted September 4, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted September 4, 2018 Just wanted to take a minute to brag about my long-time friend and ski partner, @MikeT. In a recent tournament at Dubes Pond, he ran a ridiculous 1 @ -39. It's amazing when anybody runs -38, but for a guy in a cold climate who is 61 years old ... I think it's one of the more impressive athletic feats I've ever seen. It had been 13 years since the last time he ran -38 in a tournament. He also holds the MA state record for all 34-mph divisions, which he set in M4 at 4 @ -39. That's an insane score, but I think running -38 in M6 might be even more impressive! He even got some nice local press coverage this week: http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/sports/20180902/naticks-mike-tilton-finds-peace-on-lake-by-water-skiing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller PatM Posted September 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 4, 2018 @Than_Bogan Mike is skiing like I remember from his earlier years. Helps when your healthy- For those who don't know he has been through a lot of injuries, both unusual injuries and common ones to the sport. Sad thing is I was there and missed seeing him run it. Congrats to Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rfa Posted September 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 4, 2018 Well, I was one of the lucky ones who got to shake Mike's hand just after his 1@39...not sure I use "ridiculous" to describe that run...it was...well, awesome! Or to agree with @Than_Bogan how about ridiculously awesome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller pcmcon729 Posted September 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 4, 2018 In addition to being a great skier and hell of a good guy, Mike is a huge contributor to the sport, being a long time rated driver and official. He also hosts the annual New England Slalom Championship and has for 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
