@oldjeep I'm a vtx owner myself, they were just saying that the 16 was changed and not as good as the older vtx. I've always heard good things with the sport 200, but the new gs 20 is supposed to be that much better. I would have a hard time to part with my Malibu.

@pgmoore was at wizard lake Friday on the way to shalom, they say it is the replacement for the sport 200, and is far and away better then the 16 vtx, also said they can't give the vtx away as a crossover anymore. Ron was in the boat when Nate skied and was into shortline with very good results.

That will make the trip from Italy a little more bearable for him! He skied awesome, all the pros lit it up, a fantastic event by Ken and Donna at shalom park. Great to see big things happening here again!!

@Bill22 unafortunatley I'm not there today, and was wondering the same.

Awesome day of skiing yesterday, Yes Corey Vaughn had one of the craziest 39's I've seen in a long time, taking a huge slack hit out the gate and went on to 1 1/2 at 41.

I checked it out first hand yest at the Canadian open, talked to JT about it for 30 min, looks really good, and one thing he did say was for him and most people is being comfortable and "safe" is first and foremost, knowing it will release when required. He's pretty excited about it and sounds like there is more to come. Not to mention in the prelims he came off the dock at 38 in a 8-10 mph tailwind and ran it like a boss,then went on to 1 1/2 at 41.

That's brutal. Sorry to hear. I often have concerning thoughts about my boat sitting in a lift 100 miles from home, like " I wonder what the life expectency is of those cables" visioning it piled up on shore when I get there.

@Texas6 was blowing 10-15mph gusting to 20-25, ran 2 tailwinds at 15 off... Never done that before so it wasn't a total loss. Still better then a good day at work :#

Daughter and myself spent a couple days getting some coaching with Breanne Dodd at Dodds pond with Bruce driving! Great times!

I've just never been 100% comfortable in the strada boots. Wondering if a change will help. @schafer I will see what Clint has in stock at wizard, they usually keep some rubber wraps there. Anyone else carry Wiley's? Shushwap?
-
Well that was a bust, any suggestions as to a good / similar type boot as the KD?
-
looks like the measurements are very close
-
Any good injector cleaner is worth a shot. It's a good place to start.

So I'm on a 2012 strada, with strada boots. I ski pretty well on it, but I haven't ever been truly comfortable in the boots. As for my skiing I feel like I've hit a wall. My previous ski was a KD 7000 with the KD wrapped boots and they fit me very well. Call me crazy but I was thinking of swapping them onto my strada. Thoughts? I actually don't really ski enough which is probably part of my problem also.
-
Sounds like maybe a sticky injector. Probably loosens up after a run and some heat.
-
You mean to tell me there is a better ski then the 2012 strada? ;) I gotta get with the times I guess...

@Razorskier1 it's the green gloves that make the difference.....

Old skool sleepers with modern technology.....love it. I have the same pickup only in a fleet side, it's a resto mod been in family since new. A friend of mine has a full tube chassis race truck, 540 cube BBC -
He ended up buying an 02 sunsetter lxi. Nice clean boat. 400hrs. I've never seen one of these on the water. How are they?
-
Man I hope they don't paint it. Just a good wash and a heavy clear, bags on all four corners and a single 80mm turboed 6.0L LS with a 4L80E out back, running on mega squirt, water/meth injection,(Insert Tim Taylor grunt here..)
-
I worked on applying the theory provided by @Horton and all the others on this post and the one I put up recently, this past weekend, although I was just free skiing, I noticed a huge difference in multiple parts of my skiing. Looking forward to getting back in the course and give it a rip.

malibu owners - use center tow hook in rear for family tube?
DmaxJC_ski replied to sunvalleylaw's topic in Boat Talk
Malibu dealer told me to only use the hook for tubes. I've had no issues. Other than the wear and tear on my patience having to tow a tube... -
Birthday girl with her dream gift, waited a year for it!

Jeff Rodgers is a beast. I seriously have to meet him some day. I could watch his videos all day, and have them play in the background to put me to sleep at night.
