    The video should start at about 4:50 in the video with a question from @perfski Bill Porter

    I am going to need this....

    with some luck, I think my developer just fixed the last bug. For the moment the name of the system is "BallOfSpray Video Coaching" BOSVC does not exactly roll off the tongue. I am open to suggestions. I am also looking for a logo. If someone is a wizard with graphics I will trade some ski lessons for art. Nothing is set in stone but I do have a meeting with a pretty big name next week so this could get more real pretty fast. If one is a wizard with the backend of PayPal I might need that help also.

    @swc5150 Well the Malibu PR guy says the TXi will still be available*. They built 25 last year. Without any promo team boats in 2025 how many will they build? Maybe the boat will stay in the catalog for the moment. If they build 5 or 10 boats next year is it even relevant? The Regina news should speak volumes. (* The word of a PR guy is as valuable as the word of a politician.)

    @swc5150 They took the branding from a classic heritage product and slapped it on a new vehicle with 1/2 the cylinders*, 25% less towing capacity, 30% less seating, & 15% less HP. They did NOT lower the price of the Land Cruiser. They built a new, cheaper truck. Saying they lowered the price for nearly the same product is dishonest. *yes I understand that the modern V4s are amazing. Do you want to talk about a 75K ski boat again? Just search for Carbon Pro. I just can't rehash that again. I literally can't. As for the Tommy's "liquidation sale" ( my words not theirs ) I do not think this is going to directly impact ski boat prices but if the price cuts are significant it will disrupt the greater boat market in a bad way. Imagine you are a boat dealer ( any brand ) sitting on inventory and paying interest on every boat and then suddenly all the boats from Tommy's dealerships are noticeably discounted. In the short term it might be good for consumers but long term it is hard on the industry. Like it or not we need a healthy ski and boat dealer industry.

    @dvskier I would speculate that every txi built last year was a customer order and none none are sitting on any dealer floors

    @swc5150 I'm going to hold off on awarding you, your pandas temporarily. have you read this article? https://www.autoblog.com/2024/02/20/2024-toyota-land-cruiser-2024-pricing-announced/#:~:text=Starting at %2457%2C345%2C it's a,last model back in 2021&text=The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser,plus a %241%2C395 destination charge.

    @bananaron I've been skiing with one of the handles for the last few months. it's great.

    @mknippen The Reflex system is clearly the gold standard in water skiing. I personally prefer the Reflex classic boot and now that Direct Connect fits the classic black boot this would be my choice. DC now comes with a micro-adjust system so you can move the boot forward and backward for exact placement. The key factor about the Reflex system and other Silvretta release systems ( HO and Edge ) is how easily I can test the release tension on the dock. Other systems require a leap of faith that does not make me comfortable. 8

    @Phil Ohhhh @FWinter !

    @Mateo_Vargas I will absolutely accept MBUU you shares. My assumption is they are near their bottom and will only increase in value after the dust settles. as a side note, you can expect me to short side you at every buoy on every pass this afternoon. @jhughes every elite skier / coach will be invited to join the coaching pool. Considering Chris's other commitments and responsibilities I don't know if he's going to participate but it would be awesome if he did.

    I am SO impressed with this podcast. Every fan of Poland or skiing in general should listen.

    This is a collection of the worst things I see in boat videos PXL_20240416_191235061.TS.mp4 I honestly get nauseous watching this

    Meet the most talented waterskier of this generation, Joel Poland. Growing up in England, Joel grew up wakeboarding and after a few years of that he got into waterskiing. After attending "Jump camp" in Orlando, Joel became extremely driven towards progression, practicing all 3 disciplines of waterskiing (slalom, trick, and jump). Grabbing your trick ski, sky flying, college waterskiing, getting banned from Australia, keeping skiing fun, competition vs. camaraderie, getting a boat sponsor, G.O.A.T. skiers, and getting wrecked on a dirtbike right before a tournament.

    @AdamCord jackass
  18. Horton
    @DW yes something like that and that is why I asked if Malibu was building those boats in Oz of Tennessee
  19. Horton
    @dave2ball what about all those L & R events at Corey's or Lyman Land? I understand the argument that she will have more opportunities now, but I question the idea that she really didn't have an opportunity before.
  20. Horton
    A) it is sad that elite skiers have to think about what boat they are skiing behind when they break a record B) Regina may very well increase the record but it is not as if she has not been trying to run 41 for years.

    & I do not see why the Coaching product would negatively impact the posting of videos and conversations about skiing. The general conversation here in the forum is the core of this website. I would not be doing this if I thought it would damage the forum conversations. The more conversations the better. The more videos the better. Please think of the Coaching product as an expansion of what is already here. Currently, pro coaches rarely if ever come in and give coaching in the forum because it is their job. I am trying to provide another venue for them to provide you guys with good information.
  22. Horton
    @Mastercrafter Malibu says it is not canceled. If I was the PR guy that is what I would say. I am just speculating that the product is not going to get any support and even if it is available for order it will never get updated. So it is effectively done.
  23. Horton
    Thanks @Cam I will do a handful more sessions at the discount price of $10 as I look for problems with the system. So far I can not find any 🙂

    @ScottScott I don't think Asher has actually been Team Malibu for a number of years. I think he ducked out quietly and no one really noticed.
  25. Horton
    @Drago you think the TXi was holding her back?
