SlalomSteve ran his first 28 off!

[6balls]

@SlalomSteve knocked out a tourney PB(and practice PB) last weekend with 2 @28 off. 

The practice PB didn't last long as next time out he ran it for the first time ever--then ran it again the next set out and also had a 5.5 wisely not taking an out the gates hit for no reason.  Break on through to the other side!

Hey Steve video please!

"Well, if you won't brag for yourself, have friends/family who will do it for you." I will admit I had my practice PB wrong, so I tied it at the tournament, but who cares cause then I ran all 6 the next two days!

My only hesitation in posting the video is that it's honestly not that great a pass lol, lots to work on still, but here's the PB-breaker. That's @Zaneh2oski goading me on, he was there doing coached sets all day (see my post about that here).

No need for style points--boat judge scores 6!  It's a pretty clean pass--some stuff to clean up--but revel in it---this is your make or break it pass it's probably not going to look perfect.    32 off coming soon to a theater near you.  @Zaneh2oski good work man!

@SlalomSteven That's Great! The Hook is now set. Now take a bite of 32off.

 

A good one ball gives you six.

OK no pressure but we are mid-season in the midwest.  Run the snot out of that 28 getting lots of good reps and I predict 32 drops by the end of the season.  Dude has only been skiing buoys a few seasons now.

Yeah my goal for this summer was to run 28off, so... new goal is to run 32off!!

@SlalomSteven that actually looks pretty good. You're keeping your arms nice and loose, creating no real drama in the pass. Nice gate too. In my experience 32 was a couple years after 28 but maybe not for you!

@jhughes I took 3 or 4 looks at 32off, it was a trip man. I feel way too close to the boat and there's NO wake! I can't even say it was "hard" yet because the predominant feeling was just like, confusion. I can round 1 ball with about 10 feet of slack though! 😆

32 off more swing from the boat, same placement for transitions but it will happen faster, changes your cadence.  For now master your 28 cadence, get wide, get early, get easy.  Take a shot here and there for fun but don't practice the scramblies there just to get a few extra balls 28 can become your training pass.
