Baller_ Popular Post Bruce_Butterfield Posted February 13, 2023 Baller_ Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2023 Geez. I check in after watching some medicore commercials on a decent football game and see this? What a letdown. 1. you need to loose a few pounds 2. whatever ski you picked up off the rack isn't doing you any favors 3. is Buford driving now? 2 8 If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MDB1056 Posted February 13, 2023 Baller Share Posted February 13, 2023 First each year generally is rather humbling. You'll be feeling it tomorrow too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller markn Posted February 13, 2023 Baller Share Posted February 13, 2023 You did far better than I did on my first ride of 2023 after 2 months off. At least you got to the 5 ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted February 13, 2023 Baller Share Posted February 13, 2023 Had my first rides since Oct yesterday too. Got into a bad lean lock and passed the pylon on the follow-through... at 28 off... I was movin' lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rico Posted February 14, 2023 Baller Share Posted February 14, 2023 I had one of my first ride in a while and it's funny how in the summer, 8 passes is just nice but right now 4 is more than enough 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted February 14, 2023 Baller Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) My skiing is garbage right now. I’m trying to fix it before I ingrain garbage in. Tail riding like crazy. Haven’t figured it out just yet. At least I’m skiing, I guess Like @rico I tried a 2 set session. Regretted it the next day.

Administrators Horton Posted February 14, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted February 14, 2023 @dleenhoutsTruth is that was my second pass of the year. The first one was as bad but not as funny. 1 Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say I’m a totally different skier day 1 to day 2. I will be Givego-ing my next set though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted February 18, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted February 18, 2023 I find that my first set of the year is really pretty good, but then my technique falls off a cliff for a couple sets and then climbs back. 2 Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Rednucleus Posted April 19, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted April 19, 2023 After THR Jan 3rd I have been cleared to ski mid May - CAN'T WAIT!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller S1Pitts Posted April 29, 2023 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2023 I got my first ride in yesterday in 49degF water but thankfully the air temp was low 80's. I was thinking that the moments before the first ride of the season is the closest feeling we ever get to the Very First time we ever skied. Butterfly stomach, nervous antisipation, it all feels a bit strange and then it's all gone the moment the pull from the boat comes. What a great feeling. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller coach3 Posted May 4, 2023 Baller Share Posted May 4, 2023 I am REALLY first rides, as recovering from shoulder surgery from last year. Just glad to get in deep water starts, and free skiing some 28 off and let it all come together, working on posture and a tight line....and not hurt the shoulder. Actually kinda fun. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Rednucleus Posted May 14, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted May 14, 2023 Got my 1st rides for 2023 after THR Jan 3rd. I had no aspirations of going around the balls but yesterday made full pass on 2nd trip down the lake (30/15) - balls are addicting. Free ski at Big Lake this morning with the Wed Nite Crew. Tired but hip feels great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
