disland

Just mounted some wileys on a goode 9900. I mounted the binders to the plate and then did the velcro dual lock thing to attach the plate to the ski  With the G-10 plate plus the binders the ski seems heavy.  I could mount the wileys directly to the G-10 plate and eliminate the aluminum binder plate, but that is a big project to take the binders apart drill all the holes in the plate and mount directly to the G-10 plate.  Has anyone tested in both configurations?  Did it make a difference?

Good advice, Thanks, Â My son is riding the 65.5" Andy Mapple and Chet Raley set it up for him and he PB'd in practice, so I am not messing with it,

Horton, et All, Are you using the stock fin. Are those of you ridng Elite using the stock fin. Has anyone tried a standards fin. What was the difference. Anyone tried a carbon fin? Has anyone tried the Fluid Motion fin box. I was told it only accepts a standard fin, the Elite fin is too thin. Is that true? Dave

That ridiculous, are you going to outlaw carbon skis, adjustbale fins, hard shell binders, how about jump slings. Maybe we should all ski on wood skis, on the atlantic ocean with manual driving so no one is excluded

Nice counter!

what about USD with less angle. Also I have seen a similar result with a Schnitz mini wing USD

Upload the video to youtube and then copy and paste the link to this thread. I have found this to be the easiest was to do it

I have done a handicap $500 prize in conjunction with one of our tournaments every year for the past several years. We pay money through 5 places. The rules are very similar to what you are proposing here. I take the tournament score and compare to the AWSA ranking list (I back out the penalty) A skier has to have at least two scores in the system to be eligible. No kids, they improve too much. At first I got complaints from big dawg skiers because they felt others could beat their number more easily. However what I figured out is yes lower level skiers can put up big scores. However they are less consistent. As such the big dawg guys have been in the money every year. What we have settled on now is if a skiers average is above a full pass at 38 off they score double points for any amount over their average. This systmes has worked the best.  Enjoy!  Dave

Has anyone subscribed to Inside Edge. From what I can tell they want you to pay $30 to get access to the content. I already subscribe to the magazine but that doesnt seem to get you any discount for the online content. I have to admit the videos they have done are very good, however the price is pretty steep. If it was $15 i might go for it, but $30 for something you arent even sure will be any good seems risky. Too many times these sort of online "magazines" start off good with some great content but then it tails of very quickly.

Horton's rules are pretty good. Not much different for slalom!

I use a cowbot colar, works great with zero limitation. Here ÂÂ

I like the HO footbed on their RTP. It is comfortable and your foot never moves

Works for me, I am 190lbs

I need to be that smart so I have cash to drop on 2 new strada's.

I have eagle vest and just got a new jump suit. I have had lots of vest and none of them compare to the Eagle. its like a second skin

Has anyone ever hosted an INT tournament?  How was the turn out. What were the advantages over AWSA/USA Waterski?  Are they trying to compete with AWSA, or just going after novices?

The video work is outstanding. The quality allows the viewer to really see what is being described.

We raised them $10 to cover boat expenses. This year since we are hosting the Jr US Open and will have done a full survey and upgraded all our TC equipment we are having a 3 event class C/E/L in July. We are also experimenting with a pick and choose format. This allows slalom only skiers to come and its like a 3 round slalom only tournament. Or a jump only guy like yours truly can do 3 rounds of jump. We can do this because we run two lakes simultaneously.  So now a slalom only class C guy can get 3 rounds for $60  A 3 event class L person would be $100  This includes a nice lunch too.  I still think this is a good deal compared to what they are paying down in Florida.  Of course we dont try and make money on tournaments. Unfortunately last year we lost money so I need to fix that.

I have raised entry fee's to cover the cost of boat usage. I dont know if this will limit entries

Princeton Lakes will host the Jr. US Open. Join the facebook page to stay up to date on all the information as it becomes available http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=204146232609&ref=nf

Thats why you dont buy a boat on ebay

Anyone seen it?

Oops IWWF, I forgot we spend most of our time coming up with new names. Glad to know my class L sanction money is going to a good cause

Another problem with the IWSF jump rankings is there is no consistency in boat speed and ramp height.  In the USA M4 and above have to go at 5' 31.7, internationaly I think they can go up to 35mph and 5.5 ft. Also due to the age cut off discrepancy a skier can be in 45+ and still have scores from M3 included. But heck its progress, and better than nothing, however if we are going to screw around with class L and IWSF shouldnt we standardize on the rules?
