Baller_ Popular Post mike_mapple Posted July 25, 2023 Baller_ Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2023 Im sure many of you who go to ski with my dad know what this bag is..I finally decided it was time to use it again, as I have not touched it since he passed. I will be doing a video about it (the bag) and whats in it, and why he used certain things, and a sneak peak into one of his many notebooks. but before I did that I would be interested to see what other people have in there bag. 14 Performance Ski and Surf Mike@perfski.com 👾 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted July 25, 2023 Administrators Share Posted July 25, 2023 OK @mike_mapple what defines "Bag". Not "ski bag" but other stuff you carry to the lake?

Baller 2Valve Posted July 25, 2023 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2023 Phillips screwdriver for my constantly loosening bindings (I got big feet...) and a pair of goggles for the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted July 25, 2023 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2023 Looks like he kept a razor, shave cream, some de-odorant in there 🙂 I had no separate bag just the pockets of my ski bag for binding screws, screw driver, allen, set of wing angles, extra palm pads. Will be curious to hear about the "unbagging" of the GOAT's bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted July 25, 2023 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2023 My bag is really just some misc. hardware a few boot buckles, repair kit for boat, a spare liner (not heat formed), and then a screwdriver and allen key. A spare swimsuit, a spare hat, a spare set of glasses and then I keep a small assortment of medical items Important - I keep a pack of immodium in case you get the trots at the lake.

Administrators Horton Posted July 26, 2023 Administrators Share Posted July 26, 2023 @MDB1056 there's absolutely no good reason for 2 tapes. since I moved a year ago, my stuff is not always logically organized 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...

Just like any measuring tape you need the one you don't know where it is, the other one you don't know where it is, and the one someone stole. There's also the non-zero chance that Horton is just making snap bracelets as a hobby? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BobF Posted July 26, 2023 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2023 Pretty much the same as many - enough stuff to set a fin, plus a spare fin. Screwdrivers, screws/washers, zip ties, a knife, a folding carpenter's rule, plus a spare thermostat and impeller for the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LOTW Posted July 27, 2023 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) We always have a spare impeller and have needed it! Not in the bag but in the boat. Edited July 27, 2023 by LOTW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted July 27, 2023 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2023 Some of the other stuff mentioned ie) spare impeller/zip ties/dive mask/athletic tape/band aids and a tool box are not in my bag--combo of glove compartment and under the passenger seat along with a few spare buoys and lines, a spare ski rope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller perfski Posted July 28, 2023 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2023 I got a sneak peak.....and its pretty damn cool as you get a glimpse into the brilliance and attention to detail that Andy brought to skiing. Such a big part of history and was such an honor to get to see it. Thanks Mike for sharing this. And come on....its hard to not love seeing his cards still in there. I swear I sold a couple extra skis the day Mike showed this to me....the Mapple Magic rubbed off! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LOTW Posted July 28, 2023 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2023 @thagerEXACTLY!! I was thinking it was for a quick spark plug change. Also "in the boat" are spare gear for others like my old, worn-out gloves, rope and handle, vest. The goggles are crucial, ya never want to get the rope in the prop but it does happen.

Industry Professional Adam Caldwell Posted July 28, 2023 Industry Professional Share Posted July 28, 2023 Ill be willing to bet @mike_mapple that there are a couple things in the bag that 99% dont take to the lake with them. A steel file and or 80-120grit paper, 220 or 320 grit paper and some 1200 - 2000grit paper. Saw blade Drill bits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
