Great video but you would have reached troll level mastery if you almost didn't start laughing at 2:34 and then at 2:45.

@C5Quest

Have you got any video? I’m working on similar and interested on what’s working.

What about if you use or do the givego coaching app?

Gibbs Lake was active for a while. Basically in Newport News. The eastern shoreline was pretty good. very deep lake. Mike Ohara used to live/ski there. Not sure where he is now.

Some reason I think southside of the James River there was a lake. Or maybe up in Yorktown area?

In the new boats with 5.3-6.0-6.2 engines:

Highly recommend B1 as a starting point.

The exception is a single puck Nautique, I’d start at A1 then slide it from there.

Dual pucks, B2 for all boats is a great easy setting to start with.

There’s also a reason why the majority of 34mph short line skiers are B or A and not C.

Rarely would recommend C unless the skier is quite advanced and a strong edge changer second spray outbound.

@MattP

Spot on regarding the rebound. As a taller skinny goofy guy, this is where I felt it, off second spray.

Basically in south Florida the chatter was the differential of:

Soft to load-Quick to unload

Quick to load-Soft to unload.

I can't stand the #1 of above which were the gimmick ropes, i mean optimized ropes.

Gotta love 'Merica!

Good news, think I am going to order as I know Z-lines quality is probably the same as Masterline quality or even better!

They use the same machines that ML does, even down to the red/yellow cylinder caps. Wow what a bargain. Maybe their cheaper as they clean the machine before taking pictures. What a deal.

Z-lines:

ML factory, cool stuff!!

Offer stands for any Ballers if you want sets at Okeeheelee. Bigspray, I don't believe you. I know who you are, it's ok :)

Jane Gay. Huh anybody know her?

Hilarious thread.

I’m about 80% certain I know who big spray is or their last name lmao

Hey bigspray, when are we gonna night ski on east/west at Okeeheelee again?

Website established June 11, 2022.

Owner setup through a proxy.

No names or contacts anywhere on website.

Picture of stringing machine is professional and next to a commercial setup, not a garage or small space.

Suspect this is a spin out or side project of a part time employee from an existing company. Suspect ties to Florida and Alabama.

Something smells.

Are you running single pick or dual?

Caution: entrance speeds vary between the pucks!!

For most skiers over about 175lbs in nautique single pucks (not Malibu or MC)

Dual pucks enter course at or around 34.7

Single pick will enter at or around 34.9

Big difference starting at 38off a +0.2 mph as the boat is moving around 5 feet every 0.1 seconds!!

Ditto Gloeren and MISkier's posts.

There is a table in several older PowerPoints which actually shows the various factors:

Gate ramp

Reaction time per letter/Number

% throttle

etc.

If you're open water or not mapped, it's not going to start the process at the 55m buoys, which is how the tourney mode works now. Open water, it's just going to try and hold the +/- of speed variations.

39 votes and no "Deal!" yet! WILD.

The gnashing of teeth, the pitch forks and internet name calling all due to between the two sites disallowed, how many rounds is that? only 3. LOL.

Sorry for the delay, again, been working for the man in the salt mines. Phew.

After numerous requests and listening to the feedback, we’re going to do an exciting refresh.

Especially as I see that 41 was not run at the Swiss Pro thingy, the Masters nor any other tournament in the last 6 weeks!!!

To the fun part, here are the terms:

Adam Caldwell will not run 41@36 in a L-R tournament between today and Nov. 1st, 2022*

*But The Miami Pro stop on Nov. 4-6th IS NOW INCLUDED.

Yes Lake38 this weekend is included!!!

Yes, the BallofSpray tournament is included! Heck, I’d consider doubling the bet if someone is interested as how epic would that be if he smokes a legit 41 and makes me eat my hat at that tournament!

This requires a good boat path "green" at 39 and 41.

Disallows Trophy Lakes tournaments and Little Mountain Tournaments.

I'm laying 2.5 to 1 odds here too:

If he does complete it, I ship your house:

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/scotch-whisky/oban-14-years-distillers-edition/p151976

OR

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/scotch-whisky/bruichladdich-21-year-old/p31192

If you don’t like the above, let me know an alternative 2:1, I’m open as I don’t like scotch either.

If he does not complete it based on the above you owe me or similar:

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/canadian-whisky/crown-royal-vanilla-flavored-whisky/p58394 1.75L bottle.

All is takes is a post of “Deal!” or “Challenge accepted” or “Handshake complete”. It’s got to be clear you accept the terms not some vague then you come back in six months saying I reneged on a wager. I’ll take anyone on except Bruce Butterfield and Than Bogan, they are excluded from the action.

Any of you other 32+ voters want in on the action, just post with “Deal!”

Scott,

Taking it out of context, it's misleading.

I'd recommend comparing it to the B and C graphs and the write up at the link. There might have been an overlay done with A-B-C at the link but it's been quite a while since I built researched, polled big dawg skiers and built that.

Curious what you think after some reading.

Some folks are visual. Some folks are feel but either way we need to understand how the system is designed, reacts and works.

From this link: schnitzskis.com/zerooff.html

For the non-engineers, a sample graphic:

Or for the engineers which this might be more accurate and similar to a bending moment diagram or load flow diagram:

@Than_Bogan

Actually you gave me a great idea!!

Once he registers for the tourney, I'll transfer $300 to a neutral honest party to hold the cash for escrow!!! Of course I've got my own silver sharpie.

Do you have paypal or zelle? You could be the neutral party! Are you up for it?

Good news for all, registration is still open!!!!

I verified with Mrsscoke, clean sheets on the apartment bed and clean towles. I've got Voodoo Ranger IPA and Jai-Lai, stocked in the apartment fridge. What a deal!!

Not a joke. Registration is open until May 7th.

Offer stands. Text me and let's get this locked in!!

Been salt mining, I’m back. Phew looks like things have been spicy and the natives are restless for sure!!

At 40 years old, running 41 off, that would be an accomplishment. Very fun.

Let’s make it interesting!!

2 Rounds Record capable, Saturday May 14th, Okeeheelee

2 Rounds Record capable, Sunday May 15th, Okeeheelee

You won’t run 41@36 between the 4 rounds that weekend, if you do it would require a good boat path "green" at 39 and 4.

I’ll lay some sick odds here:

If you DO run 41 either round, I’ll be the first to congratulate you on the shoreline with $300 cash. You can shake my hand and tell me to “F off” with a smile off course.

In addition, I’ll ship to John Horton in California either:

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/scotch-whisky/oban-14-years-distillers-edition/p151976

OR

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/scotch-whisky/bruichladdich-21-year-old/p31192

ALSO, I’ll ship to Bruce Butterfield in Texas 1 of the above as well.

If you don’t run 41 either round, I get to autograph the top of your ski with a silver sharpie and have my photo taken with you holding it. That’s it.

Heck, we’ll put you up in our rental apartment for free which is 2.4 miles away from the site. We’ll have it ready for you Thursday night through Sunday. (no shenanigans from us on the free place to stay).

Deal? IM or email me and I’ll send you my address and phone number!!

Now we are having fun.

Player 3 has appeared in the room!! How exciting, now we are getting somewhere.

Ok I have updated the terms.

Adam Caldwell will not run 41@36 in a E-L-R tournament between today and Nov. 1st, 2022. This requires a good boat path "green" at 39 and 41. Disallows Trophy Lakes or Jeff Gilbert driving.

I'm laying 2.5 to 1 odds here AND taking on two friendly competitors too:

if he does complete it, I ship to the left coast, your house:

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/scotch-whisky/oban-14-years-distillers-edition/p151976

OR

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/scotch-whisky/bruichladdich-21-year-old/p31192

If he does not you owe me:

https://drizly.com/liquor/whiskey/canadian-whisky/crown-royal-vanilla-flavored-whisky/p58394 1.75L bottle.

Deal?

Any of you other 30+ 29 32 voters want in on the action

"would be willing to wager" A CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED!!

Phew, reading your terms, I couldn't follow and it made my head hurt. I am a simpleton. Let's narrow this down and shake hands.

Adam Caldwell will not run 41@36 in a E-L-R tournament between today and Nov. 1st, 2022. This requires a good boat path "green" at 39 and 41. Disallows Trophy Lakes or Jeff Gilbert driving.

I'm laying 2 to 1 odds here too:

if he does complete it, I ship to the left coast, your house:

Deal?

Any of you other 30+ voters want in on the action?

LOL. Adam Caldwell won’t be the first in 2022 nor will he run it in 2022 in a Record tournament.

If you 29+ fanbois adamantly want to fight me over my statement, how about a friendly wager or two? Let’s talk terms and lay some odds!! We can start a new thread if needed. Bring it.
