The entire Stange family are just great people! Great skiing Griffin!

The trick wake is very very good. I run a 2' extension on my trick line for the LXI/TXI boats to put me in the right place of the table.

I swear Centurion took their windshields off the 04-06 LXI's. good lookin boat.

@Horton you should talk Centurion into incorporating the rub rail LEDs. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i155/steven-209/Malibu%20at%20night%20NAV.jpg

Thats pure sex right there... I can only assume (knowing @Horton) there's a 6L hiding in there somewhere. Agree with a few others, leave those pesky logos off - super clean!

the black top Monza was a fire breathing animal. Too bad it wouldn't turn for crap.

I always just have EZ Ed set mine up! I guess thats a benefit of skiing with the designer of the portable slalom course. #FirstWorldProblems

Sorry @Horton - going to have some kilo kai tonight and toast to a speedy recovery for you.

Here's hoping for good news @Horton

2007 Tundra, 5.7L. Its a beast.

@Horton I didn't even know you had biceps? Sorry I didn't notice. Heal quickly my friend :smiley:

Could a drone with an HD video camera fly over each skier providing a birds eye view? Surely that could work for the 5-6 skiers in each event at a pro (money) event?

If I was shopping again I'd snatch this baby up. Private lake, monsoon, classy color scheme, not sure of the hours but if its under 900 its a solid price. ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Comp_Boat&postid=30263 Unless you like red and then there's this low low hour machine. I have this exact boat - they ski AWESOME. Best open bow slalom boats made. ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Comp_Boat&postid=32060

^^ I didn't know Bob Marley was a skier^^

Ouch those shorelines are wash back city!

Fantastic video! The Helix is my first D3 ski but I'm quickly becoming a Denny Kidder fan. I have a feeling I'll be on D3 skis for many years to come. Thanks for posting this.

In case anyone else runs into this issue I welded a 1 1/16 socket to a piece of flat steel and another socket on the other end. The 1 1/16th fit into my prop shaft area and the flat bar stuck up in the air where I could get a breaker bar on it. Worked like a charm.

Need help ballers! I'm trying to remove the prop shaft in my 04 LXI. I have the proper 1 1/16th socket but there isn't enough space between the coupler face and the transmission output to get a ratchet on the socket. I have already loosened the retaining screw. Is there a trick? Special socket thats made shallow? Im hoping the answer isn't "cut down the socket". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

According to rule 9.02 Freddie or his representative cannot protest the judges score of his slalom pass. However Nate or his representative could protest his 41 pass IF he felt the rope was on the wrong loop. Which means the judges either couldn't agree/settle on Freddie's score and then changed their minds. 9.02: Allowable Reasons for Protests Protests shall be allowed only for failure of the tournament committee, officials, judges, calculators to comply with these rules and only if this non-compliance with rules has an adverse effect on a skier. No protest shall ever be permitted on a judgment decision by the Judges. I find it hard to believe Nate wouldn't at least try to beat the course record knowing how well he's been skiing 41. Which tells me its possible something was off the way he stood up on his 41 pass awkwardly going towards 1 ball. So who has the video of the loop on Nate's last pass?

@curly71 call him from the road. Thats a sweet boat. Get your keys!

I have no idea what happened but I'm sure both Freddie and Nate handled themselves with class. Great skiing from both guys - too bad things unfolded as they did. Freddie put on a show at 39 and Nate made 39 look like 32.

Seems strange these perplexing things keep happening at Nautique sponsored events.

Out of curiosity who are the judges for mens slalom?

@webbdawg99 - WOW. That would explain why Nate looked so confused going into 1 ball on his 41 pass. They need to hold this event and rerun Nate's final pass. The longer this goes on the less likely they are going to get it right.

@webbdawg99 - agreed. The question is did Freddie protest his score which caused the judges to go back and review again?
