  1. How much for the green lawn? That's what I'm missing!

    OB, you make a compelling argument for the ski side. BTW, your site looks awesome.

    OB, what percent of your success is the ski vs. the rest of the regimen?

    I just saw what Schnitz posted, maybe I can quit the gym and let the ski do the work!

    Ski or Skier

    I'm happy to try new skis, but I've given up on buying any ski that does not immediately outperform what I currently have or give me a solid feeling that it will. Brent doesn't ski any more balls on his new ski than he did on his old ski, or the ski he had before that. He will though as long as he sticks with the gym. ( He regularly gets high-end coaching) Compared to previous years, I barely touch my setup now, and I'm skiing a full pass under when I was a tweaker. My focus for this year is the gym, and If I can get enough regular time on the water, I will do more fin tweaking, because one setting doesn't work for water that ranges from 45 degrees to 80 over the season. I'm skiing with Andy Mapple in June and with him setting up an Elite for me in that circumstance, I will know if it's a ski for me. At this point, that's the only way I want to try new skis, otherwise there is too much time wasted to end up where I was.

    What's immersion?
  7. I have tried several skis over the past couple years and I can ski about the same on any ski I've tried. I prefer certain skis over others but I can turn about the same amount of balls on anything I take the time to get setup. Given that your setup is good, I believe that the best way to ski more balls is to improve physical conditioning instead of buying the latest - greatest ski. Does this ring true for everyone else or am I missing something?
  8. It was Ice pellets here yesterday with 50k winds today. We came back from FLA too soon.
  9. The Possibilities are endless!
  10. I'm not sure if this is what Horton had in mind./vanilla2/uploads/FileUpload/13/713.jpg
  11. I get lots of pictures of myself looking at the gopro as I press buttons and try to figure it out. It may be difficult to use, but the results are awesome.
  12. Holiday Inn Express?? You mean the bracelet can make the powdered eggs and rubber sausages taste like food?
  13. I'm going to have to go throw some coal in the PC to get it started up so I can see this...
  14. If you cross the border into Canada into a province other than your own, then you only get charged GST as one province does not collect another province's PST.
  15. Is that a Strada, or are you just happy to see me :)
  16. Brent is my main Mule. He's always bringing skis across the border without issue.
  17. Awesome video, I love the narration.
  18. If you need some help, you can send some my way!

    Many skiers are using broken down bodies, never mind skis. I'm heading back to the gym this week. Of course, I said that last week but this week I mean it.... I think.
  20. Whoa! Where's the evilness coming from? Just remember that I'm taking your wife to that event.
  21. The best part was that you could pay a guy with a tractor 10 bucks to pull your boat out for you.
  22. Don't believe Brent. If he lived in Washington state, he would be waiting on the dock when you guys showed up. He doesn't even wear a wetsuit until the water temp drops below 60. I think he would fit in with the hardcore folks just fine.
  23. That's some impressive skiing for those conditions. Nice video.
