  1. Cmon guys. A slalom course is a slalom course. Will won fair and square. Moomba is a tough event. Everyone has to ski under the same varying conditions. the gates are just as a part of the course as the bouys are. Removing the offside rule in soccer would make it much more spectator friendly(more goals) but it wouldn't be soccer. You could widen the gates but then if Nate missed it by an inch would you then say oh widen them a bit more next year. I'd say 70% of the spectators that watched from the bank haven't been exposed to slalom waterskiing. It wouldn't matter 1 iota if you changed gate rules for Moomba. Look at it this way. You want the sport to expand. People watching from the bank who don't understand why the missed gate passes don't count are most likely researching the ins and outs of slalom waterskiing right now.
  2. Looks poorly designed to me. Maybe someone from HO on here can give some feedback. I don't know why ho has gone to the single centre screw method. They say that it offers the skier to be able to roll the ski over, not push one side down pulling side up. Being involved in mechanical engineering my view is that the boots are still mounted along the same plane so there would be no advantage. I think it's just a ploy to force you to buy their ski if you want their boots. I know they make adapters but they won't be easy to come by. HO make great skis but there other gear is lacking when compared to radar. Go back to standard mounts and put the time and effort into the boots not the mounting system
