  1. @Jtim3032 Cheers for fascinating info and your comment re the event is spot on as I was there at the time. I first saw the pic hanging on the wall at Denham Water ski club a few years ago. Waterskiing competitions, large crowds and great atmosphere - now there's a thing. I doubt it, but if anyone has a copy the would like it to go to a good home, please let me know.
  2. one name - Andy Mapple. What were his records and what id he ski on getting them?
  3. Hey Wish - the intellectual discussion was in Ken's Kebabs in Portsmouth, England. Nothing out of the ordinary really, typical Monday night.
  4. Thats the one Splasheye. A painting though I believe. Cheers
  5. There is a pic of Sammy Duvall starting his cut to the ramp at the worlds at Thorpe - 87 I think. Cant find online though
  6. garyh20ski out of interest, your site seems to me to be in a middle of a desert, where does the water come from? from a uk skier where it generally rains a lot
  7. during a jump wipeout - "upside down and waiting for the pain"
  8. Kirtons Farm Jump Classic (Reading UK) . Early/mid 80's, head to Head with Sammy Duvall jumping around 194' in torrential rain to win his round. longest jump in the tournament I I hink. Crowd (remember those?) wanting for rain to stop for him 1st. Judges saying no. No complaint from Sammy, just got on with it but cant remember who against though - anyone else who remembers?
  9. I would never have the foggiest idea if my driver was not running a good path etc. Id always blame my lack of ability
