Camaro is awesome, gets warmer the longer you are in it and feels like you don't have anything on as far as mobility.

Proskiers dot com has Latrobe Tournament live. Stumbled across it last year so I looked for it just now. I thinks it's on live right now.

Those buoys from the 70s and 80s would have made that "did he run over 3 or not?" a lot easier to figure out :smile:

@Skidawg it was at least that, I was there and if I remember correctly it was a 5-1/2 and a handle rocket at the boat.

We used to have to submit sketches on how the course was configured/anchored, but I can't say I've done that in the last 15 years.

Reading the Julie Miller story was fascinating. People like her, Armstrong and Michaels (and others) make me scratch my head. The best part is when they say they are being persecuted unfairly or cyberbullied. I still say the Dr Michaels story is easily the craziest thing I've ever seen in water skiing.

Yes, left hip and I'm RFF. But I have also had it in my right hip in the past. I assumed too much time with a desk job.

Yall make sure when you're doing your minimum clearance math that you add in the 4" to go outside the buoy and the 3" to clear the "boot out" height.

Trophy Lakes and Seth's site are an hour to an hour and a half North, Slade Cole's lake maybe an hour Southwest.

Slalom finals on now

B2

Slalom now (but video stopped), somewhere in Norway. That's all I know from sort of watching at work.

This is my link

I have not been a fan of the turn and burn in the tournaments I've skied in.

Begs the question, how many times did Geoff Carrington crash at Moomba?

My apologies but the point is horses do affect my Denali experience. Back to the thread I love my Denali and will never talk horses again, hopefully ever.

You guys are forgetting the Fox Hunting horse...or 2 (that's after all the other hoses mentioned and then it starts over) and the other pasture ornaments (like a donkey or mule).

Fred Halt-the best skier nobody knows

No sheet...I actually got an ID request yesterday for age verification. It was obviously her first day on the job (very, very obviously) but still less than a week on the Denali and my first carding in at least 25 years.

@AdamCord still love it, tons of potential, but I have work to do on the Pilot. The funny thing is that this ski is so easy on the body that I suddenly feel years younger and can work on me deeper into the set. 3 sets the last 4 days and I feel pretty fresh.

My turn, but first a little background. I'm a 56 year old, untalented, 5'10", 170 pound, inefficient skier who has been around this sport for close to 30 years. I've been fortunate enough to know and ski with a lot of the worlds best skiers but not smart enough to really benefit from that association. Somehow I can get around 2 or 3 at 38 if enough things go right. So far this year I've spent all my time at 28 trying to make it feel decent and consistent.

 

Adam Caldwell provided a ski to me last weekend after I skied and set it up (everything but the wing, which I told him I would take care of before I rode it). A couple of days later, I take it out for the first ride and go about 40' wide of 1. The set is a series of feeling some really good qualities about the ski but never being able to get comfortable or find a rhythm. As soon as I get off the water, I text Adam "we need to talk". Right after I sent it, I realized that I forgot to set the wing. I checked the wing and it's somewhere around 7, and I was told to put it at 9. So yesterday I ride it again with the wing set at 9 and almost immediately I realize I might be riding the best ski I've ever been on. So I run some 28s, I don't know how many but quite a few. I have this nagging feeling that I'm working way harder than I should be so I try to ski without any effort at all, pretty much just try to stay centered and point it where I want to go and I go out the gate feeling like I haven't done anything at all.

Another thing about my skiing is that I can butcher a heel-side turn like you wouldn't believe, quite often that ends with me in the water at 2 or 4 or so out of position I don't get to the next buoy in very good shape. I tried to do that on this ski several times and it was almost as if the ski was talking to me saying "wow, you really f'd that turn up, but relax and get back over your feet and I'll get you to the next buoy with plenty of time to get through the pass".

At the end of the set, I shorten to 32 (the only attempt this year) and it's easier than any 28 I've run on my other ski. I shorten to 35 and get half way through it with a crap gate.

I can't wait for the next set on this ski. Is anybody looking for a slightly used Nano One XT?

This boat had to have the least amount of testing (prior to the release for sale) in the history of ski boat testing. It's almost like they couldn't have even put it in the water.
