All excellent comments. I dislocated my right shoulder twice (about 20yrs apart though) on offside falls. Both times, the shoulder remained dislocated until an emergency room visit (no surgeries either time). Back on the course 6 months later each time. Follow your PTs instructions and don't rush it. I've always been a gym rat and strengthening and stabilization exercises for your shoulder should be second nature like brushing your teeth. I'm 50 and never have been a tournament skier so I have no problem passing up that last ball if a pass doesn't look good. I've also trained myself to snap my arms in on many falls which helps on many of my average spills. I still recognize that this is a dangerous sport and accepting risk comes with the territory. Good luck in your recovery!

I've skied there and bought from Robby. Nothing but great experiences with both!

Great video Marcus! I've been trying to focus more on what my hips are doing vs what my shoulders are doing. For example, I'll video a pass and think I was really counter rotating only to see my upper body counter a little and my core and hips still be closed. Once I cross the back of the boat, where should my hips be? Is it a gradual transition from having them face downcourse to a countered position? I think I focus much more on the ball to the back of the boat vs the back of the boat to the ball.

Gary, grew up skiing in Alabama. Ex-Air Force. Been in Phoenix for 20+ years. Some footin', ski raced for 6 or 7 years. Did Catalina twice. Been on course for about last 5 yrs (I'll be 50 at end of Oct) just for fun. 22 and 28 off at 34. Love this sport, totally addicted. Ski the course 2 or 3 times a week year round when I'm in town.
