    I think @ALPJr 's comment was tongue in cheek. To both @adamhcaldwell and @Horton that is some awesome skiing by both of you.

    @Andre I am skiing the course again although not at full speed. This morning I ran 6 passes at 30 mph one at 22 off and the other 5 at 28 off and made them all. Right now I am skiing on a Radar Katana but a few more sets this year and I am going to go back to my Goode Mid and try 32 mph and work my way back up to 34 mph.

    I think @mknippen has the videos if someone can help him get them posted somewhere online he would be open to putting them there.

    Weather took a turn for the better over the weekend. Skied this morning in just a heater top. Not sure what the water temperature was but likely mid 60s. Air was in the low 70s. Conditions were awesome though.

    Regular loop will work.

    @"Keith Menard" I haven’t worn a dry suit this year but I didn’t get in the water until May. I used to have a pair and be into not wearing the wetsuit but I gave that up a couple of years ago.

    @Moffattra I have definitely become soft in my old age.

    As @skiboyny suggested I would tighten the screws and check it every couple of weeks. If it is skiing well stay with it. If you are struggling look at changes. Fins do move sometimes.

    I am off to a bit of a late start this year and have now skied three times including the last two days. This morning the first official day of summer the air was 61* and the water not much warmer. I am a bit of a softie now and am still skiing in my full Camaro. I want mid 70* water and similar air temps in the morning. It is supposed to warm up this weekend hopefully we will get a few degrees on our water. Our lake is deep so it takes time to warm up.

    Fins can get knocked around that isn’t that unusual. The binding change generally is impossible with the binding screwed to the ski.

    @Horton that is better than when I get hurt sleeping. I woke up one morning last summer with a newly ruptured disk and I hadn't done anything the day before.

    Everybody has those days and it is always the drivers fault. Unless of course the driver is your wife then it is the dog's fault. Some days are just like that. Forget about today and come back fresh the next set.

    @Horton I agree completely.

    I think it varies greatly depending on your level. At 32 off and shorter I think the focus is definitely on creating more speed earlier. For beginning course skiers I think you need to get them thinking pulling through the whitewater after the second wake. Ideally you would like them to generate more speed earlier and get off the pull around the second wake but usually they don't have the fundamentals to do that.

    @EmacSki4 the advice that @Horton provided for cutting out around the holes I think is better than filling them. Filling them with epoxy is unreversable. I ran a binding over inserts without any issue.

    I had an oil pressure sensor go bad on an 02 Response. I forget exactly where it is but you can disconnect it and see if the beeping stops.

    I can’t go the last week of a quarter. I could probably talk my wife into something like this it looks like a blast.

    @ToddL Eagle makes a vest with more flotation and good mobility. We have a couple of them around the house that my kids out grew. It is a tragedy but if the kid was knocked unconscious it is on the driver. I am amazed at how fast I see people whipping tubes around.

    @Stevie Boy it has always been about the guy standing on the ski. That doesn’t change the search for better technology.

    I thought Asher was in the best shape coming out of 3 ball but Freddy really was willing to sacrifice his body. Maybe if Asher went last and knew the quarter would get him the win he would have gotten it.

    @lpskier you are older than I am my brain doesn't always go that far back :smile: I did actually learn to run the course as a kid on a Northland Bantam and remember my Dad skiing on a Maha. I still have a Maha high wrap in my basement but I haven't been tempetd to ski on it.

    @Stevie Boy that doesn't mean there shouldn't be progression. At one point there were World Records and many podiums with non-carbon skis. I am not saying that the PMI core is the next thing but I would expect there will be one at some point.

    We always let the rope drop behind the engine cover and put our equipment including shells next to the engine cover. We have a few skiers that use hardshells and we haven't lost one yet.

    Just screws. I just fixed my son’s bed the other day with some mounting hardware.

    @arigold22 great skiing yesterday. Staying relaxed when you are in a pass at your PB is tough. Be patient and you will get it next time.
