Baller 9400 Posted September 13, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2019 We have timed the tropical systems perfectly this year. One did a driveby last week and looks like a smaller system will do a driveby next week. Winds will be generally the right direction since the jump can only fit in one spot and be good for spectating. I get to watch from the office for an hour then drive 25 minutes to the site and get my fill of great skiing for the next 2 days. Hope to see yall there.

Shakeski Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 @FracBurner - sounds like Elizabeth Montavon had to wait due to the prop coming off. Officials claiming she ripped the drive shaft out of the transmission. To me - that is one hell of an interesting statement. I have seen nothing but problems with Malibu boats in my time both working in the industry (for a Malibu dealer) and skiing/wakeboarding. Quality control has been absent since the company went public (but that is a discussion for another day). Also - to be perfectly clear - this is all based on Elizabeth's side of the story at this point. I have not seen anything from Malibu yet. To me - should be an interesting topic as this is not a good image for Malibu this early in the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BraceMaker Posted September 13, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2019 @Shakeski her instagram post makes it sound like the prop shaft came loose from the transmission between her 2nd and 3rd pass that stinks to have to sit in your wet gear for 20 minutes and go again. I've been seeing and hearing about a lot of issues with prop shaft couplers in the past few years - not isolated to Malibu - due to alignment and assembly errors. There is a reason to run double taper shafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeski Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 @BraceMaker yep - that is fair. Totally a bummer and I was impressed with her response and willingness to get home and practice more vs ranting on about the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted September 13, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted September 13, 2019 Appeared to be a dislocated knee. Got popped back in onsite then off to the ER. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller SkiOrDie Posted September 14, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 14, 2019 Not a good day for the Fred's. Freddy K crashed on his first jump and was done. Climbed into the boat and walked down the dock, so it didn't look too serious. Fred Winter had a pretty gnarly crash @ 39. Held onto the handle long after his ski was off.

Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted September 14, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 14, 2019 @SkiOrDie that's a big bummer. I'm always rooting for the Fred's. Had them both on my fantasy ski team along with the NLU skier Danylo. Glad Freddy was about and walking. I think my team will need some serious help tomorrow! ?

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted September 14, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted September 14, 2019 Freddy K had an abdominal muscle injury and was really questionable before the event. Freddy W got in really deep at 1 and refused to give up. Both are examples of the intensity these athletes put out. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MillerTime38 Posted September 14, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 14, 2019 WOW that’s a lot of injuries already, I guess we should start complaining about the site( only joking just a dig at all the people crying about world conditions?) hope all the skiers are ok.

Baller Nando Posted September 15, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 15, 2019 A couple of questions and comments: Any update on Marion? It didn't look good. What happened to Freddy in the prelims? It looked like he took a ski to the face. Love hearing Freddy do jump commentary. Regina was her usual amazing self. I've only crossed paths with him twice, I think, but the Nate who was interviewed was the guy we always expected- relaxed, humble, willing to give credit to Will- if not for the absence of Nautique stickers on his ski, you'd never guess about all the other discussion going on here. Finally, Jacinta is truly an amazing athlete- what's a shame is that when she breaks 200' (and it will be soon), only die-hard ski fans will know what an amazing accomplishment it is. Not many guys have gone over 200' on the six-foot ramp and she'll do it at 5.5'. Her winning streak and margins of victory are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ALPJr Posted September 15, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 15, 2019 Was nice to have the slalom finals to watch on a raining afternoon. Skiing, announcing and webcast were awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted September 16, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted September 16, 2019 Marion has a torn MCL and some cracked vertebrae. She also bruised or collapsed a lung. She spent two nights in the hospital and was released this morning. She is banged up but her long term prognosis is good, so I understand. The knee injury appears to have happened on the ramp and everything else upon impact. The safety team at the event did a great job getting her out of the water and her skis off before the EMT’s arrived. We wish her a speedy and complete recovery.

Baller Nando Posted September 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2019 Ouch- thanks for the info, @lpskier. Good to hear, she'll be okay, but that's a bunch of injuries and recovery won't be fun. Any info on Freddie? He seemed fine announcing, but he doesn't pull out of an event lightly. If they said what happened to him, I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted September 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2019 @Nando Freddie covered around the time U21 women's jump was ending. Pulled some chest muscles prior to the Worlds -which he skipped and then was hopeful they were going to be up to it for the Malibu but they still weren't. So he's going to finish rehabbing.
