Baller 6balls Posted June 17, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2019 Midwest collegiate ski team (club-sport) special right there. All u gotta do is round buoys...wakeboard, jumpers...whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted June 17, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted June 17, 2019 A few years ago, we had a tremendous amount of wind after round 1 at a tournament in Grand Rapids. It was bad enough that many veterans skipped round 2 (I was one of them). The collegiate participants got out their trick skis and did slippery slalom, in otherwise unskiable conditions, for their round 2. If I recall correctly, there were some complete passes run. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller gsm_peter Posted June 17, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2019 I ski the course on my trick ski every now and then in order to improve my stance and crosscut. I do not know if it is of any benefit?? Best pass is about 14m 28,6 kmph. Type 28off 18 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller adkh2oskier Posted June 17, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2019 I haven't tried it in few years but I used to run the course on my Wakeboard at 15 off at 22mph. I could get all 6 but only if I skipped the gates and just hung outside the wakes to get to 1 ball. Just couldn't seem to get enough angle with a toe edge through the gates, but lots of fun.

Baller keithh2oskier Posted June 17, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 17, 2019 I came very close to running the course last year in a trick ski, while drinking a beer, in a chicken costume. Its been a few years since I went for shortline but at 16-17 mph I think I have ran 39 off or come close. Although the boat path was probably pretty sketchy as you can move the boat a few feet.

Baller_ Rednucleus Posted June 17, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted June 17, 2019 Don't know if they still do it but years ago the INT league had a wake board slalom course category. A guy named Ken Bernard was insane on a wake board (like 22+ mph, 28-32 off if I remember). My buddy goes thru the course on a board doing 180's & 360's ball to ball!

z_skier Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Good ole slippery slalom! Always fun, my ski buddy routinely can run 41, it is incredible and hilarious to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
