Beeker Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I was only a recreational skier until Just over 2 years ago when I met my Ski Partner @VONMAN . Now I am really excited and addicted, 3 weeks ago I took my first shot at the course! With a little extra coaching from my partner, I was able to complete 6 balls at 15 off the first day. We have been on the course 7 different days now, I complete 15 off about 50% of the time, I am stoked. I have taken a few shots at 22 off, and so far my PB is 4 at 22 off. I know I have a long way to go, but truly am a course junkie now!! I have to give a Thank You to Vonman for the past 2 years of coaching and just being a great ski partner!!

Baller Dacon62 Posted November 8, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2018 Awesome! Very addicting. Buy a progressor rope. It has loops between the regular loops. Will help you...well...progress faster. https://www.masterlineusa.com/products/masterline-10-75m-progressor-slalom-rope-extra-loops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted November 8, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2018 Just dismantle your normal rope and put all the short ones first ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeker Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 @BraceMaker Now that is something I have never thought of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted November 8, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 8, 2018 Its not perfect but considering a regular mainline is 60 bucks cheaper than a progressor... Edit - I'll also add that I started doing this originally due to the extreme amount of wear the 15' segment on our boat would get pulling random skiers on an old non-swivel pylon. When you rebuild a mainline with the short ones you can pull people on each of the .5 meter sections and no one seems to care that they are a half meter off.
