    I’d need poles to get my weight forward. 😛

    @Horton somebody who is an experienced water skier and snow skier. Hybrid technique.

    That’s insane. The physics is interesting. Must be closer to snow skiing, sliding downhill. Big Wave Water Skiing, new sport just invented. Kudos to those guys for experimenting with what’s possible. Better them than me.

    Hedlund is the only other one that I know of.

    I just added a Performance Ski and Surf sticker to my Dynastars. Did that after I discover that Performance tunes snow skis. They’ve got my business in both seasons.

    I think Horton has a good point. A big part of the issue is that today’s skis are not designed to be used as a pair. I cannot imagine doing a WLBB on two Airas but I could stick it with my old narrower prototype-EP O’Briens.

    @ETskier I had a two-ski W5B and WLBB but that was about as fancy as I got. Thanks for the mention.

    Skied Lex’s pond about 1970. I assume it is no more.

    @kmenard Oakham, as in Lex Carroll?

    Holy $@<##!! The aliens are among us.

    Wha? If I had the talent to perform any of those tricks I might venture an opinion. However. ..

    You’ve still got the 54” trick skis you used as a Junior Boy in your first tournament in 1964.

    @Horton How old was Irene when she was still skiing?

    Back in the day I submitted the Guinness record for Billy Nichol’s epic barefoot ride. The record was approved. There was no fee involved, at least at the time. Lucille taught me how to do my first wake helicopter. Someone should send documentation to Guinness. Lucille deserves the record if there is no one older.

    Cities don’t put on ski competitions, ski clubs do. Okeeheelee is one of those rare instances in which a ski club has been entrusted with the operation of a public facility. The setup benefits both sides.

    @The_MS The rule-of- thumb that I have heard is 600 skiers. I have no doubt that the local economic impact runs in the several millions of dollars. I’ve certainly added my share to the pot over the years.

    Nice. I liked the emphasis on family and the fact that multiple generations can participate in the same event.

    Large L shelf supports work well. I slide sections of bike inner tube over the support for padding.

    Nice. I knew the whole crew back in the day.

    You’re right, it’s snowing in Crested Butte! Kidding aside, each year I threaten to retire from competition and what do I do? I buy a new Aira. Oh well.

    @LarryG is correct. There’s not enough info to act on. A federal ban seems unlikely to me and a bill at the state level would affect only that particular state. NASBLA is legit. They were a good group when I rubbed shoulders with them back in the Stone Age.

    I drive by the old ski factory several times each week. Memories every time. It’s amazing to see how clunky the wood skis were. Uncle Ricky had to drag them kicking and screaming into using fiberglass.
  23. BKistler
    Just for the record , the post above attributed to me did not come from me. Maybe Horton used it as a test?

    I was on the Graviton this year and wrote a review of it. The concave is fantastic for sticking landings on wake tricks but the same feature makes it a little sketchy for surface tricks. Got a new D3 this fall and I’m loving it. I’m on a one ski quiver for the first time in years.

    This is a test. Horton is awesome. Everyone should send him money and skis.
