Baller hemlock Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 Nice to see a rare skier with left foot forward and left palm up. I ski that way too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MDB1056 Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 What year was that shot? Never seen it before. Some great skiing. Wow........ Agree with @hemlock being a LFF skier and using a reverse grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Stefan Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 I think this one is in the same category, both so easy, the way I would like to ski... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted July 21, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted July 21, 2020 Re: Wim. All I see is GUT before GUT was cool. So impressive. Hard to believe that’s the only video of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skier2788 Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 No offense to anyone but it takes a little away from that video when you listen to the audio and the cameraman tells you it's -38 at 32mph.... Still great skiing but a young guy at 32??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ktm300 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 @skier2788 You misheard it; quality of audio and video ain't great. It's 36 mph. Not sure of year but I think that is either a Monza or a Jobe MPD. He skied on both so somewhere in that era. I do remember that he ran a depth of 2.59 and way forward on a Monza. He's 5'7". Awesome skier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted July 21, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted July 21, 2020 @skier2788 listen to it again. Its a little muffled but he says -38 at 36. I also timed several passes and they are 36. Mostly on the slow side, but still 36. That was back in the Perfect Pass days and it was easy to run a little soft. That is still the most "perfect" technique I have ever seen from any skier. JMHO. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skier2788 Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 Listened to it several times and it still sounds like he says 32. Maybe it's just my phone. The engine sounds like 36 and I timed a couple passes and it's definitely faster than 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted July 21, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted July 21, 2020 @Bruce_Butterfield That is exactly what I posted. Then I went back and listened again and heard 32 so I erased what I posted. But ya, part of my comment was that there was no way that was 32. I originally thought it was 34 as I have never listened to it. On my phone it sounds like 32. On my computer I hear 36. But 36!!!! Now it's just lights out impressive. And I agree. One of the if not the most perfect skiing sets I have ever seen. And he is NOT a tall man. Bubble butt SN so somewhere in between 97-2000 if new-ish at the time. I cannot help but ask for comments from @AdamCord and @adamhcaldwell .

Baller ScottScott Posted July 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 22, 2020 I like looking at his head, and where he is looking. Thats one thing i'm working on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted July 22, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted July 22, 2020 The year of Wim’s video is 2005. (Edited: it's actually from 2006). The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Onside135 Posted July 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 22, 2020 Great video...is that Patti‘s voice at the end of the clip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted July 22, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted July 22, 2020 Correction: it's from 2006. And, I believe that is Schnitz and Patti in the boat. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Killer Posted July 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 22, 2020 Definitely Patti and Schnitz and 36mph. I was fortunate enough to ski with all 3 of these folks in the fall. Look forward to getting down to Hobe lake again and skiing with Wim, class act and an amazing site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
