Baller Cam Posted January 10 Baller Share Posted January 10 Definitely no excuses for me now apart from I am ancient but to think that this was done on a 5 year old $300 ski that he found lying on the dock and borrowed the rest of the equipment proves that we only set our own limits and that Joel is from another planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ral Posted January 11 Baller Share Posted January 11 I would imagine he had to do some severe edge tuning to get that old ski working for his skiing style. Wait... This not even 32MPH slalom video, it is 30MPH. So it just doesn't deliver a great example of good slalom skiing because of the slushy response from the ski. Like racing on a road track with low tire pressure. Or not? I am confused now. Sorry... I could not resist. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skihart Posted January 12 Baller Share Posted January 12 Thats nuts. 39 would have been incredible on that ski but 41 is insane. It does make me think that maybe i should be learning the tougher passes at 32 mph or less and possibly on a larger ski. May be worth some expermentation.

Administrators Horton Posted January 12 Author Administrators Share Posted January 12 @skihart I think if we just accept that Joel is from another planet and leave it at that we'd all be better off 1 Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted January 12 Baller Share Posted January 12 Last weekend we had a guy run 39 @ 30mph on an old HO Burner. He couldn't try 41 because he didn't have that loop on his rope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skihart Posted January 12 Baller Share Posted January 12 @Mateo_Vargas what does he normally run at 34 or 36 mph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller hacker Posted January 14 Baller Share Posted January 14 It would be interesting to know the backstory on this… Also, Joel’s reaction as he goes through the exit gates. Pretty big deal to run 41 no matter the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gavski Posted January 27 Baller Share Posted January 27 https://fb.watch/pQHDEw1Uz8/? Joel’s is absolutely smashing the Radar Vapor ‘24….but what is this ski? The ‘25 model… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
