I have not been taught all the histrionics of Marcus' gate. All that loading and twisting seems unneccesary. If you watched Marcus' West Coast Video, I am sure that you saw that the strain gauge indicated 700 lbs right off the ball letting up to 400 behind the boat. And this is easier skiing? Although he is a leftie, check out Wim Decree video at Schnitz site Skiers bios Decree. No histrionics just great efficiency that moves him up on the boat. There is a lot of early energy in it but it is energy focused more on moving up course than outbound. Outbound creates more load. I want to be free at the top of the arc so that I can establish my angle before the boat picks me up. If I go outbound instead of upcourse, this is more difficult to do as I have a load unload situation going on. A good righty to watch is Rossi. It looks like he is not doing much on the way out but, he is very efficiently putting the energy into ski and upcourse not so much outbound. It is easier, requires less body motion, lets you be free at the top and is simpler. Simpler is easier to repeat with consistency. I am not knocking Marcus. He has always been gracious in sharing his ideas and is an innovator. However, I have seen an easier way to do it. DeCree is a low key guy that has probably never bragged about anything in his whole life. If you want to see efficiency, he is the man. Ask a pro who saw him ski at Okeeheelee tourney this spring who had the best 39 of that tourney.
