So_I_Ski Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 That boy is in disguise. His real suit is the one with the red cape and big letter "S" under that bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bishop8950 Posted December 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 27, 2018 Must be the new ML rope. Nate once told me the first time he ever ran 41 was at Tynan’s in a dry suit. Ps. I love ML ropes and am glad to see they are motivated to improve on a great product. But couldn’t help with the joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller AdamCord Posted December 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 27, 2018 @Ed_Johnson that’s Sawmill Lake in Columbus, Indiana. That’s the lake my dear ol’ dad built. Great place to learn how to run 41! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller klindy Posted December 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 27, 2018 @Ed_Johnson That looks like Sawmill in Columbus, Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted December 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 27, 2018 Thanks Guy's, looks like a really neat Lake. Love the houses there also!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 @bishop8950 That is the new optimized rope he is using in the video. Nate loves the new rope and was very involved in picking the final version. I would say that he would also agree with you that it is partly the rope. Matt Rini was a big help in the development along with Drew Ross, but in the end the final say came down to Nate and Regina because they were doing the most testing and experimenting and were very vocal that this was the most "optimized" version for all around performance.

Baller gregy Posted December 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 28, 2018 @Russell can you get the new rope with the mid loops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ DW Posted December 28, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted December 28, 2018 @Russell: could you provide some detail on why they like the rope, what characteristics make it better, desirable and perform so well, thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted December 28, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted December 28, 2018 @Russell Can you please go to the thread that Perfski posted about the new rope and respond to some product questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixball Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Just getting out in cold air/water with my dry suit is wort it. It does not slow me down but then I am not even on the measuring stick. But it does sometimes make me feel like I have a protective crash suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Jetsetr Posted December 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 29, 2018 A drysuit isn’t going to keep you from skiing well... Not having the latest and greatest boat, ski or gear will keep you from skiing well.. Lack of proper form, technique, physical training, time on the water and in the gym, coaching, poor mental preparation, lack of consistency... WILL keep you from skiing well... I have a good boat, I have gear capable of running deep 30’s, I have my own practice coarse... It’s not the gear, it’s ME...but I know that (because I suck at coarse skiing) and that’s what I’m working on... Probably 85-90% of the skiers here are in the same boat... If you’re a 35 off skier or better the ancillary gear becomes more of a factor... For the rest of us it’s on the guy/gal hanging on the rope...just a reality check Flame away....

Chad_Scott Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Nate Smith makes me want to take 2 weeks off and quit. Amazing but not surprised. He seldom misses 41 in practice. Different sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller markn Posted December 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted December 29, 2018 Amazing skiing...and a fellow hoosier. Did anyone else notice very little rev (rpm) change throughout the entire pass? He has to be the most efficient skier ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
