  1. Need to replace the cover on my Shorestation boat lift canopy. Wondering if anyone has any connections that can get a better price, I think their about $900-$1000. I've kicked around the idea of putting a permanent roof on the existing frame, but not sure if that's a good idea even if I anchor it down when my boat's not on it in the winter. If anyone has seen a permant roof on one I'd like to hear about it. Thanks
  2. "one mistake and you'll disappear in a mountain of foam".....new name for Ball of Spray?
  3. I Have A First Gen Trakker With A Custom Built Rope Arm That Works Great.
  4. Perception vs Reality has got to be one of the most difficult aspects of this sport. I video every set and usually accomplish about fifty percent of what I thought I did on the water. Great thread @Horton , I hope there will be answers instead of theory as my style looks similar to yours, especially the digging a hole at onside turn!
  5. I think it was the first Big Dawg finals at Isles of Lake Hankock, was during the day and showed the whole event. They had an injured big Ben Favret and Tadd doing comentary, Ben was giving great technique observations, I was glued to my computer for the whole event!! I'd like to see it done like that again.
  6. @SpartanSki , check this out http://www.themalibucrew.com/forums/index.php?/topic/38790-03-xti-monson-335-loosing-power/
  7. congrats @webbdawg99 ! That's a huge wall to break thru.
  8. Make sure your not putting 400 to 400 Dual Lock, as it is not recommended and comes apart easily.
  9. NEED vs WANT Of course you don't NEED a 6.0 but the point is, people are saying the 6.0 FEELS better which is something we all WANT !!
  10. I asked Schnitz last year if he had tried the slot fin on a Nano One, he said he hadn't but said to try his standard settings.
  11. look at the size of those jugs........of soap
  12. @MS, How hard is it to get out of that pullover vest? Seems like it would really stretch it getting out of it.
  13. @Horton, the boat @LeonL is talking about was drop shipped straight from the factory a few weeks ago, gotta think it would have the latest trans.
  14. @skidawg‌ ,Maybe My Eyes Deceive Me, But That Looks Like Velcro On Your Binding Setup?
  15. @cragginshred‌ , There Was A Dicussion About That Last Year, Think They Call It "Posting". You Might Try Searching For That thread .
  16. What a travesty. Private lake, nice boat, no driver....that SUCKS !!!!
  17. I was prescribed Levaquin, it came with a 3 page warning paper, so researched it and decided not to take it. Some people claimed to have their achilles start hurting after one dose. I think I would only take it if I had something life threatening!
  18. Man I'm officially too old. The whole time I watched I was thinking....That's a good way to get hurt.
  19. @Wish Don't know if your responding to what I posted but, I really don't think about holding on longer, that didn't work for me, that led to me holding too long and causing the away shoulder to get pulled in. For me just being AWARE of the line tension made me do the right thing,I.E arms on vest through edge change etc. And yes it works at all lengths so you can start doing it there and hopefully it will carry through to the hard passes.
  20. @ilivetoski, What your really asking is: How do I get a good one ball at my hardest pass? I don't care what anybody says, if your GATE setup isn't right, your gonna struggle to run that 32. @ShaneH eluded to that earlier, it starts with the pullout. At your hardest pass, 38 for me, you need precision in your gate setup. You need to be aware of the DETAILS of where, when, how hard your pulling out for starters. Then you need to be aware of the DETAILS of where, when and how your turning in. I think for a lot of us, we try to take too much angle into the gate thinking it will set us up for a earlier one ball, but in reality you end up with a bunch of speed straight at the bouy. It's what Rossi calls skiing the impossible line. He has a article he wrote about that on his web site that is a good read. I know some people will comment on how much angle Mapple or Nate take into the gate, but unless you have overhead views of their gates you really can't tell. I really don't think most mortals can emulate their technique any way. I would personally love to see overhead views of really good skier's gates, boat or shore videos just don't show the angles. One other thing that has helped me is to focus on maintaining line tension out to the bouy. Not any specific technique, but simply THINKING to maintain line tension. Hope this helps. Good thread by the way......... we're actually talking about ski technique!
  21. Was that ski a standard layup or something just for the video? I would have bet money you couldn't lift that truck like that.
  22. Draws errors? Explanation please.
