@LLUSA thank you for what you do for the sport - your site and hospitality as well as the tournaments you run are great.

I wonder how many volunteer officials you lose because of the refusal to publish a reasonable schedule - people who could relieve those that are overworked and just want to be done which often results in a bad skier experience.

We really need to implement No Earlier Then times for the big tournaments.

My son asked for a release person while learning the trick - strange falls.

Why not go back to 34?

Ski Watch in Milton is closest. Ski Chaste in Mobile and Ski Lake Jillian in Panama City are within 2 hours. I don’t have contacts at any of those and ski at Cory’s - best bet there this time of year is a Saturday - more than worth the money.

@lkb - front heel pressuring the release is my son's "swing thought" for getting his COM in the right position over the ski.

Regina: Congratulations! BOS: Why do we always “eat our own?”

Professionals are concentrating on things other than the gates in practice. I'm sure that in the next tournament his gate timing will be informed by what he is doing in practice.

My son and I use the same set-up as you. I ski jackknifed and tail heavy - my son is stacked with his pelvis over the front foot. He has told me that in order to get into the proper position he bends his FRONT ankle enough that his front heal pressures upward on the release (he said it was quite unnerving at first). I tried to get the feeling he was describing (yes it is unnerving) but the results were amazing when I got it. Yes - I was skiing on the balls of both my front and rear foot.

My son has gotten the same advice re: 4' to 8' of slalom line for stretch as Bruce's kids - and I think we use different 10,000+ point coaches.

@AdamCord is there an adjustment for a loose tail at the finish of a turn? TIA

Get the boat serial number and call Correct Craft they will tell you what you need to do to get ZO working - I did it a few years ago (there are a few late 2006 that are plug and play iirc).

Seems like placement v buoy count should determine "the paychecks and business opportunities for the top skiers."

Coil wire

@Horton yes binding tape = dual lock

Binding tape for mounting things.

When my lake is high I ask people to go no wake speed or slalom speed in a straight line.

Gianina Bonneman handle pass.

Have you tried a Powervest? 4 back surgeries, and a new hip, no pain on start with Goode Wideride.

@JeffSurdej - here is where I finally got to in my "Tournaments on Demand" discussion from a couple years ago. As I thought most of the resistance centers around equivalency which is driven by how we currently qualify for Regionals and Nationals. So here is what I'm thinking -- - Two separate lists, a Handicap List, and a Ranking [Traditional Tournament] List. Scores from the Ranking List feed the Handicap List. Tournament on Demand [e.g. 17H0213 for February 13, 2017] scores only feed the Handicap list. - Qualifying for Regionals and Nationals via the Ranking List remain unchanged. - Qualifying for Regionals [only] via the Handicap List requires X number of scores - it doesn't matter what the scores are to dis-incentivize cheating. - Using the Golf vernacular raw scores on the Handicap List can be sloped [or not] for the conditions the score was achieved under e.g. Class R Tournament highest to ToD with Trained Driver, Assistant Judge, un-surveyed course, non-current boat lowest. I'm thinking this helps facilitate "beer leagues" and provides an alternative path to Regionals without doing violence to the traditional structure. Also, to help grow membership send ski school students or your buddies home with a score.

Suddenly being tall off the second wake makes a lot more sense . . .

Really good slalom boat - great -28 and shorter.

Cory Pickos is set up and magnificent with beginner kids. Just tell them what you need and follow their recommendation regarding when to come. Beaches are awesome.

@Wish - this thread may help: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27323&title=gt40-intermittent-rough-running Long story short -- solved!!! This would be a very tough issue to identify unless you're super with electrical diagrams and know what you're doing. Short answer: corrosion in the fuel injector harness caused the injectors to OHM out, making them shut down. Injector harness was testing at 30 OHM, should be no more than 12 OHM. Mechanic cleaned harness and replaced corroded connectors inside the harness. Boat works great! Of course, this took a long time to track down, mechanic swapped the ECM, distributor assembly, cleaned injectors, etc, etc so after 3+ days of labor charges, it's finally fixed, just a huge punch in the wallet. Glad to have it back, and hope this will help anyone in future.
