There used to be a time when people didn’t discuss politics or religion and then social media began.......

@skispray it’s been a minute since I have been on the water but from what I remember it’s a combination of staying in a strong position behind the boat and then at the time of edge change advancing your left hip forward while maintains pressure with your right arm. If you don’t stay strong behind the boat into the second wake it is very difficult to accomplish because the boat has taken control. When you advance your left hip forward it will automatically cause your right shoulder to roll away from the boat. Also key is right arm pressure, don’t pull With or bend your right arm Just keep your upper body moving outbound and feel more like you are pushing your right arm down

@Golfguy 60,000 flu deaths this flu season which is about average for a flu season......

No chance of me going to nationals this year due to living in japan but also no chance of me coming back to states to visit my family or my family coming to visit us in japan cause the US is a shit show right now.

@Rednucleus while we skied we put covers over the car seats (Milk snobs) and took every precaution (like not using a 5 year old handle or rope). We obviously used common sense and didn’t go out looking for an extra half buoy while having kids in the boat. Did you have a shock tube on when the rope broke and hit your kid?

 

@jordanh the kids were probably around 10 or 11 lbs and we only kept them in jackets while driving out to course and between sets because like you said the jackets were pretty uncomfortable for them. Trust me my wife is a professional worrier and she was actually able to relax and enjoy the time on the water

Here is a picture of our twins in the boat with us, they were about 3 months old in this pic

I don’t see why you wouldn’t post the seller, nothing wrong with giving everyone else a heads up on someone they should think about dealing with

Isn’t this a lucky Lowe training method, skied with his boy at a couple tournaments in Florida and this was his typical first 2 passes of his tournament sets.

What are you purchasing? I have bought bindings, skis, and boats from ski it agin and everything worked out great.

Sounds like a great idea, but my experience in the waterski world is everyone is a skeptic

@jimbrake agreed we probably aren’t dealing with people of a sound mind to begin with.

 

North Korea isn’t reporting any positive cases so maybe we should all try to visit there.....

I saw two more cruise ships with people Infected waiting off Florida coast trying to get permission to dock.....who the f*ck got on a cruise ship with this going around? I believe the ship set off in early March. Many countries and other states refused to let the ships dock, as they should have. You can’t fix stupid. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/5101845002

Just like any other sport usually what separates the men from the boys is a mixture of athletic ability, hard work, and testicular fortitude

@The_MS the timberwolves still exist? Hmmmm

Not everyone wears a mask(under normal circumstances) just those that may have an illness or are worried they may get other people sick.

@teammalibu you still have hair to cut ????‍♂️

Carole definitely fed her husband to the tigers hahaha, you can’t make this shot up lol. Watched it for 4-5 hours today just couldn’t stop

@6balls thoughts and prayers for you and everyone on the front line fighting this. I just hope everyone passes along the info you are sharing here and people take this serious. I know everyone wants to get back to life as normal (myself included) but this pandemic is nothing to take lightly.

@The_MS believe it or not baseball is huge in japan, and they get tens of thousands of fans and it is a really great atmosphere (way better than any professional event in the states, except maybe hockey)

@BraceMaker at least they are trying, since you are an expert educate them next time ??‍♂️

@6balls have any of you that feel like you are military been in the military? Don’t get me wrong I appreciate and respect everything you all are doing but once this is contained it’s life back normal, surrounded by friends and family a little different than military life ??‍♂️

@Rednucleus you have a very valid point with masks. The country of japan has relatively controlled the spread and is it a coincidence that wearing masks is a VERY common practice over here? Even before this virus, it was common to see 30-40% of the population wearing masks out in town, it wasn’t because they were afraid of catching anything, they just don’t want to spread their germs. Now it’s more like 95-100% wearing masks

living on a military base you get to see first hand how this can escalate into a HUGE problem, once a ship is compromised it impacts the ships readiness which in turn impacts that ships ability to do its job, protect you. One of the shipmates in Japan contracted the virus while on leave back on the states and luckily he was quarantined when returning back to japan so hopefully the virus hasn’t spread among the ship. If it has it could impact the entire 7th fleet. Ships pull back into port but people can’t leave the boat to visit their families (who they haven’t seen for months) because of the risk of the corona virus. I understand people’s concern about the economy but we are dealing with something much larger than an economy,

 

**update no so lucky now the 1 case has turned into several cases in 24 hours...

I am currently living just outside of Tokyo, it’s crazy over here, entire cities are cancelling public events and trying to restrict any large gatherings. All the schools in the country have closed until the second week of April. Last I checked there was 250 cases here, considering a population of 125 million that is 2 people per million. Yesterday on the train i was the only person not wearing a mask, they were probably thinking stupid American ??‍♂️

 

The dangerous part of it is that you could be infected but not show any symptoms, so it doesn’t put you in any danger but people surrounding you could be at risk.

I don’t see anything wrong with @Horton questioning the call based on the video provided and wanting to see the “Better video” that may or may not exist.

 

We all know Regina is the GOAT and there will probably never be another like her, but I wonder if it was a different skier if the record would have been approved with the video in this thread.

What’s the average cost per round at a L/E/R event? Probably $60 per round? So I guess an additional $20 per round isn’t asking too much. So 30-40 skiers gets the promo guy around $1400 incentive to bring a boat for a two round tourney. At most 3 promo boats there so about $500 per promo guy

 

After 2nd thought, how does this money get issued to the promo guys? Would it be considered taxable income the way it is being proposed?

 

I love this hunting App, you can find out the owner of any property

@horton agreed but the quote used by Bertrand Russell was described as atheist when in fact he was agnostic, as most mathematicians and philosophers believe. If you are going to quote someone it’s good to use an accurate description
