  1. Logically, to me anyway, it looks like this handle design might keep a skier on the handle longer with both hands before releasing prior to the buoy. Not necessarily a bad thing .
  2. I always know it's spam if @Hortons messages are spelled correctly!
  3. Only if I connect the element 115 containment field to the inertial anti- gravity computer.
  4. It's -9 F and you walk down to the storage shed to talk to your Nautique and make sure everything's OK.
  5. Bubble wrap, lots and lots of bubble wrap......
  6. I remember seeing a T-shaped handle in an old AWSA magazine many many many moons ago. Literally was a T shape. About only thing that appeared safe about it is you wouldn't be able to catch a head in it. Looked like one heck of a projectile though!
  7. I'm sure someone will run with this as "Best fin system ever"! Unless O'Brien jumps back into the actual Competition ski market is nothing but B.S. No longer a need for Mach 3+ and leaky hydraulics parts.....
  8. Doesn't bother me anymore. I just walked away from USAWS/SS and the stupidity of the Olympic dream
  9. For those iactually nterested in ski tuning there is a short section in the "Slalom with Andy Mapple" DVD produced by Gordon Rathbun about ski tuning. It gets into the why and how's of bevel tuning. Excellent information.
  10. Never give Horton the opportunity to make wood!!!
  11. As I remember it, someone I might know skied past an Easter morning church service at the swimming beach in the buff behind a Nautique in about 1972. Streaking was a thing back then. Boy, was my Pop pissed!!!! 😂
  12. I have a 68" Fischer #01 orange and a 68" Razor A2. Pretty sure the Fisher came from the Goode 9400 but was softer.
  13. I am looking at open water on my MN lake in December? Haven't seen a similar year since about 1967 or 1968.
  14. @lpskier Cool! First I've seen of it. I thought it must be 3D. I remember when (somebody)? tested the swappable tail pieces ski. I made a comment about a piece like that to add surface area but was poo-pooed in so many words.....
  15. I wondered how long it would be until someone did that . Bravo!!
  16. Never collided with the ski with a releasable boot, but the boot sure kicked the crap out of me!
  17. Can't say enough nice things about my 67" LP1! I was worried it would be too small for me at Men 7 speed as I am 6' 194 lbs., but it has taken me through rope lengths I haven't managed in years. Enjoy!
  18. @Dano For me that mat in the grey color would be perfect! I wonder if it comes in a wider and longer rolls?
  19. It is best for the kiddos. At least Rico is happy....
  20. While lifting weights this morning my little mind wandered off and wondered "who trains with whom", regularly at the Pro level? Anyone know?
  21. @dchristman Mine have full sets.
  22. @Rednucleus Hard to say, by the time I arrived at the canting combo I liked the 22 season was winding down and getting cold. Didn't really push it much. The 2023 season is now over with an inch of ice on the lake.
