Baller fu_man Posted August 24, 2022 Baller Share Posted August 24, 2022 I take no credit for this. It just popped up on my YouTube. The intro reminds me of a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Hello 1950s! Interesting notes: Looks to be old slalom course dimensions. Those trick skis are narrow and long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Cooper_Trelawney Posted August 24, 2022 Baller Share Posted August 24, 2022 That was a good watch. Those guys and gals had a lot of talent. It would be interesting to see them with today's equipment and coaching. Thanks for the share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brettmainer Posted August 24, 2022 Members Share Posted August 24, 2022 Florida in the ‘50s looks like a lot of fun! I wish Masterline made double handles. Much more ergonomic, would solve my elbow problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ swbca Posted August 24, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted August 24, 2022 More Ancient History. This is my practice partner when I was in high school. Mickey Amsbry 63 years ago with Vicki Van Hook. He was the 1957 World Trick Champion before he needed a practice partner when moving to Minneapolis. 8AM, 5 days a week for 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted August 24, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted August 24, 2022 “Don’t avoid the jumps. They’re real safe fun. Even for the occasional water skier.” Movie at 15:09. WTF?? Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller fu_man Posted August 24, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted August 24, 2022 "Nancy gets a kick out of doing as many of the men's tricks as possible." Whoever wrote the script for this would crap his pants if he saw today's female trickers doing all the men's tricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller kc Posted August 25, 2022 Baller Share Posted August 25, 2022 @lpskier Sure! Fonzie was an occasional skier, and he jumped the shark. No biggie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Rednucleus Posted August 25, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted August 25, 2022 I especially liked the safety references as the three kids ski off the dock w/o life vests - but two people in the boat is a must! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Wish Posted August 25, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted August 25, 2022 Safety?? ..meh …who didn’t drink from a garden hose, jump a bicycle on a home made ramp without a helmet, climb monkey bars over concrete, wander around the back seat of a car while under way, or use lawn darts. Great video!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
