  1. @santangelo - really good app; nice work! A calculated field for LE would be good, but not essential imo. The sliders function quite well once familiarized. What would be really helpful imo is to permit users to share their data (read only) as an option. For example if a 67" T3 is selected, a drop-down can reveal all other's fin settings hx for that particular ski that choose to share; if it can be designed to not be too cumbersome. Appreciate your efforts.
  2. have tried glowsticks; they don't cut it. Not bright enough and had to be attached to the buoys. You're probably on the right track with floating LED flashlights attached below . Might require an array of 2-3/buoy/boat guide. Sounds like a lot of flashlights one way or another. I assume the zero balls will stay up (unless they lower vertically, it'd be kind of cool turning in for the gates with an illuminated 0 ball below the surface).
  3. @AdamCord - what ZO setting is Caldwell running? Impressive RPM spikes.
  4. @tap is going to gather some very cool data! Once he gathers enough data from expert short-line skiers, then to overlay with skier data struggling to attain short line passes consistently; the aspiring skier will have a better understanding of implementing technique with positive results. In other words, when a skier is working on improved technique, this type of data can indicate if results are in a positive direction. Some might argue that running more buoys is indicative of improving technique, but for the many overly analytical skiers and those that have hit a “wall”, this data will be awesome. It’s great to have talented and resourceful skiers like @tap with a passion for this sport.
  5. Did you modify the toe loop or buy that used? It's definitely not stock in appearance. Additionally it doesn't appear that the boot forefoot is recessed all the way into the plate cup. if that's new from HO or a dealer; send it back.
  6. using a puller will lessen risk to transmission; C-clamps are reliable and relative low-cost.
  7. @Chris Rossi articulates technique so well, in review before today's session, for those of us that pull too long and separate. Connection
  8. The time and effort to rotate that piston will not likely provide any gains considering the history; it'll just reduce water time. diligently prep the block's mating surface for the new head gaskets, use new head bolts, replace with new heads and... go ski!
  9. Maybe more RFFs, but...LaPoint (JLP), McClintock, Costard, Lucine, Parrish, Rodgers, Beauschene, Larkin, Travers...
  10. if it's cartilaginous in nature near the sternum (mid-line) then it could be a few weeks. If more laterally located it's usually micro-tears of the intercostal muscles (insertions along the ribs), those typically are skiable in a week or two. IMO deep breathing "exercises" (slow inhalation and hold at the point of discomfort for a few seconds) a few times/day helps to keep things loose. It's also a good gauge of the healing progress; tolerable, deep, held inspirations indicates skiing is ok. Pull-ups are another good indicator of readiness. Rx = tincture of time; duration variable.
  11. Holy Mackerel! That onside turn is sic!
  12. dittoed @aussiemc apparently
  13. Biannual Replacement (saltH20 = annual) recommended.
  14. @Stevie Boy - Edge change is a result. Proper Edge Change
  15. ...or those currently holding (or tying) the course record at Robin Lake.
  16. @MDB1056 - Rodgers is always a good example that CGA shouldn't hold you back on the course, but comp is definitely more comfortable for most; downside is cost. A well-fitting comp with plenty of buoyancy, no straps to tangle is probably equally safe to most CGA's in the course setting (in a low-probability, unconscious, facedown scenario; hopefully a competent boat crew is on deck). A good comp that provides ample flotation, great comfort (no arm chaffing) and fit (size it down one; wear L- choose M) is: Camaro 3.0
  17. "poor handle control is most often poor load management" that sums it up! similar to not maintaining good velocity into the pre-turn (a result of above); getting deep with an abrupt, unsustainable load/angle off the backside. Once you serve up the handle; you're along for the ride and not getting wide.
  18. @OldboyII - should not be any issues. In an OTF or release the back foot (toe) will be out of the loop before the release mechanism effectively hinges backward. The big toe may feel the release bar during the pass a bit but it's easy to get accustomed.
  19. TW just started this. I think he'd be quite good as a "virtual" coach in this manner. TrainwithTerryWinter
  20. with RevR; "+"= far right column; same ZO Kd gains/clipping values as pre RevQ as well as added pre-gate speed.
  21. Eric, Yes if you have access to a SN 200 5" head unit and mount it in the '97 driver cupholder with the same angle of orientation as in a 200 (with this type of display) it should function fine. as Brian stated, I think @thager has some photos of his install
