Baller Mtea Posted May 26, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 26, 2020 For years our skiing routine included “hit it” or just “go” when the skier was ready. We added a couple new guys to our semi regular group and one of them shouted “rinse me off” when he was ready. The rest of us thought that was too cool (low threshold of excitement for sure) so we all individualized our launch. Mine is “let’s rock n roll” because I play guitar. One of the ladies is an opera singer so she starts with “make me sing”. Another is “make it happen cap’n” which has a long and funny story behind it. You get the drift. Are we just easily amused or do others do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted May 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2020 Say whatever you want but if it's not hit it you might get a brain delay before the throttle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jjackkrash Posted May 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2020 I always start with "in gear" to give the heads up that its almost time, then "I'll follow you." Or "Yup." Or if I'm feeling geeky "Engage." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 9400 Posted May 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2020 Due to 1 particular driver I got in a tournament 15+ years ago, the first thing I say is "In Gear". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ReallyGottaSki Posted May 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2020 "gear" if water <= 65 then "punch it Chewy get us out of here!" else "hit it" endif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbeat Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Whatever you say, say it loud and clear to be sure the driver hears you. One ski partner did this really well. We used to joke that when she yelled "Hitit!", boats would start up at lakes miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mtea Posted May 27, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted May 27, 2020 Thanks for the link to the older thread on this topic Onside. I had several lol moments reading through it. I had no idea there would be so many genteel commands for a pause to take a pee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller buechsr Posted May 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 27, 2020 My 7 year old skied in her first "competition" last year. She was first off the dock with 6 open level skiers on shore nearby. She let out a "hit it" that woke up the neighborhood. Dad was proud. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DavidN Posted June 1, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 1, 2020 I’m oldschool, so it’s mostly “OK”, occasionally “whenever you are ready”. Think it’s best and most safe to not confuse drivers with all sorts of presumably funny phrases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
