Been waiting for this explanation for a very long time

Thread officially derailed

A decent front binding is one thing, but a toe plate likely isn't what makes him feel uncomfortable in deep water start

Upon first viewing - someone drug test this man! After reinvestigation - someone drug test this man!

You're not far off from running that pass. Focus on two things: balance and connection. Notice that in your wake crossing your hips are still a little behind you thus leading to poor connection and loss of power. I like that you don't panic and try to rip hard turns at your hardest pass, it shows control

@adamcord "If we were worried about marketing gimmicks we’d come up with something cooler sounding than this." Flextail? ?

@adamhcaldwell After seeing the example with nate I think I'm starting to understand what you're getting at. Are you suggesting that we need to achieve the required change in yaw through the transition without rolling too hard onto the inside edge and thus stopping the outbound trajectory of the ski? And by creating more roll stability and a little more freedom in yaw, it becomes easier to achieve this?

@adamhcaldwell where in the course does the quicker change in yaw take place? You're drawing the change occuring at a very wide point. Does the change happen closer to the second wake?

Could you go into more detail as to why you would want the ski to quickly reduce angle through the transition? In my mind this would put me on a narrower, later path as opposed to one that allows me to turn earlier. Very curious

PB 1.5@38 36mph Exiting the ball and into the first wake I focus to advance my COM towards my desired direction of travel, and relax my arms. At centerline I am engaging my core to advance the ski away from the boat, and keeping my shoulders level in an effort to keep my upper body resisting the boat. That's just the thought process that works for me

Does anyone know his scores? Can't find them anywhere

Used to be a very serious trumpet player, now i'm a not so serious trumpet player. I sat principal in my youth symphony back in high school and toured Europe. Other than that, I'm trying to scrounge up the cash to get more into motorsports. Really want a spec 944

I hold with my fingers until s*** starts getting hairy, then my palms start to bleed

I was going to make a poll but not sure I can on mobile. At -35, -38 and shorter, do most of you actually start the turn well before the ball to conserve space, or do you feel that there simply isn't enough available width to do that? At -35 and shorter I get the feeling in my own skiing that the latter is true. It could just be discomfort on my part, or maybe I'm lacking something in my technique? A little background in my skiing, I first started running -32 about 4 years ago. I've run -35 twice in practice at 36mph, and scored 2 and 3 in tournaments more times than I can remember. Just this week I tried it at 34 and stroked it my second try, and did that again the next day

Same problem has plagued me for years
