Baller_ lpskier Posted September 17, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted September 17, 2019 I just learned that Adam Caldwell’s pending M3 record, which tied the MM record of 1.5@ 9.75/55 (-43/34 mph) has been approved. This score was achieved at the June Record tournament at Little Mountain Lakes in Maiden, NC. Congratulations Adam! Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dvskier Posted September 17, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2019 Adam is a great guy. I had the pleasure of speaking with him on Saturday and watching him ski again at the Malibu Open. He does a lot for the sport and works very hard to improve things by making Denali skis while holding down a full time job and operating Trophy Lakes. Adam is an inspiration to all water skiers!

Baller 6balls Posted September 17, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2019 When will he start whooping up in the Big Dawg? He seems remarkably consistent at deep shortline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Drago Posted September 17, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2019 He was on a Schnitz, then Obrien maybe, Mapple, Obrien,D3,goode,mapple. I don't think he made his own skis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller JaredSmith Posted September 17, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2019 Just because Rodgers painted over his Goode at one point does not make it his own ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Milford Posted September 17, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2019 My understanding is that Caldwell co founded Denali Waterskis with Adam Cord and does make all of the skis himself. He just made mine and it works awesome. Wish I could make it run -41 like he does, but that’s more the skier vs ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted September 18, 2019 Author Baller_ Share Posted September 18, 2019 Will Asher doesn’t make his own skis but in my observation he is very involved in developing HO skis. More so I’d say than most other sponsored athletes. I should give myself an “off topic” for that comment. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Adam Caldwell Posted September 18, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2019 Thanks Everyone! I have learned so much over the years, its definitely surreal to reach this level in the sport. Not knowing if the scores from Little Mountain would hold up or not, I took advantage of an opportunity to ski at 34mph again at the Trophy Lakes 4th of July tournament a couple weeks later. The plan was to stand up 2 ball. But I was in such good shape on the way out to 2 ball, I decided to go for the turn and go for 3 ball. That didn't work out, so ended up with 1.5 again. Scores from trophy lakes have also recently been "approved". Thanks to everyone involved to make it all possible. It takes a village to make things like this possible, and I have a huge amount of support form so many great people in the Southern Region. Here is boat video from Charleston. 41 http://www.hudl.com/technique/video/view/FGB86e7c 43 http://www.hudl.com/technique/video/view/65RkBIrH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has been out of the circuit too long - it is amazing to pop back in and see things like this! What you guys have contributed to this beloved sport is utterly fantastic.
