I saw this workout on youtube, thought it might be useful for some waterski training, its a lot of strength and speed at the same time, tried it out today its tough, the bottom video shows the order and reps that he does.

Wow you guys have seen some handle pops I've never really experienced this maybe I just give up and let go earlier then most

Gern I agree with your comment about some people being more ambidextrous than others in teaching a friend to slalom who I know can kick a soccer ball equally well with both feet I told him to put whatever foot he felt more balanced on in front he then proceeded to get up on his first try with his left foot forward, later that day he got up and skied well again but said it felt different than before, we then realized that this time he had put his right foot forward. For myself playing soccer for most of my life I just feel more balanced with my left foot forward as that is my plant foot a majority of the time when kicking a soccer ball and it just feels more natural to lead with that foot.

i'll even throw in free shipping

I just lowered the price on my senate-c in the classifieds to $400 let me know if your interested.

does anyone have a pic of the 2010 mc promo is it anything like the ones that were black with white stars they used in at one of the waterski fantasy camps those were definitely top notch in the looks department

I think that looking at snow skiing has a lot of benefits, as a snow skier turns either the left ski or the right ski leads depending on which way they are turning. As a skier turns left their left ski leads and carries most of the weight and determines the apex of their turn while the right ski really generally just helps balance and support, the left ski then carries most of the weight all the way through the turn until the edge change where the exact opposite happens. The difference in waterskiing happens when we get to our offside turn and the foot that would naturally balance us through the turn, and determine the apex of the turn is instead behind our support foot, the only reason our bodies can be in this position is because of the rope, in our offside turn we lean on the rope to much through the turn and across the wakes, the less we lean on the rope and the more balanced we can become on the front foot the more efficiently we can ski the offside turn. I think that in general you will always have more line load on the offside turn because you really are trying to turn and stay balance on the ski a way that is completely opposite to what your body would normally. I don't know maybe this is all completely obvious to you guys but I just started thinking about it as i was reading this thread and thought I would comment.

Just go barefoot or wear a pair of Nike Free shoes and train the muscles in your feet to get stronger and you wont have a need for added insoles.

The Matrix design on the strada even though I think the annex had the same bottom last year

Thanks D Wolters thats what I figured but it just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing anything.

I recently bought some rs1 bindings what would the benefits be for heat molding my liners they seems to fit fine but then again I have been skiing on xl obrien bio bindings for the past couple years that were way to big for me. Should I wait to ski in them before I heat mold them or do it before I start sking them?

I'm sure someone here can answer this question. I bought a closeout set of rs-1 bindings this winter with the double plate, I was putting them on my ski a few days ago and was wondering how many spacers there should be with the plate it came with four total but the middle two screws didn't have any spacers is this correct or am I missing some spacers?

Thanks for the washing tips guys my vest smells much better now, I guess I always thought the washer would tear it up, maybe I can run this vest another year.

just watched edged in water 2 for the first time a couple days ago its got me stoked to go skiing again... now if only I could ski in italy that would be killer

I have an Oneill Gooru vest right now and I actually really like it definitely more flexible than any other vest I've worn, it does have its downfalls though I think that it holds to much water and it takes forever for it to dry out which is the reason I'm looking at different options because it has a really bad smell to it from taking so long to dry out even in the sun. Has anyone tried washing theirs does this help at all?

Thanks for the input guys the main reason I was looking at the TNT vest is because it looks like it doesn't hold any water or at least very little are the eagle vests the same way?

I'm looking for a new vest for this season I thought I would try the Oneill TNT vest does anyone have this vest? If so how does it compare to other vests out there?

If boardshorts really have that much affect on keeping the ski moving Marcus Brown would cut his dreadlocks they have to have some wind resistance.

O'neill Superfreaks commando or cali style as my friend likes to call it cause apparently everyone in cali goes commando with there boardshorts.

Brent I did know of carving boards but being a softboot snowboarder myself never really paid attention to the binding setup carving boards and therefore didn't realize that their stance differed from a more traditional snowboard stance. However as lagdawg suggested above I think that they are using even narrower boards than a carving board. And several pictures I have seen of the binding setup makes them seem different than what a carving board would be. You can call it whatever you want to I just call it cool because its probably the closest you can get to water skiing without the water or the rope.

I was just really bored today and typed in waterskiing in wikipedia. At the bottom of the page there was a link to related sports I noticed one that I had never come across, skwal. It was invented a while ago I guess but its basically a wider snow ski with bindings mounted like a waterski. Was wondering if maybe anyone had heard of this before? I found a video on Youtube for anyone interested *Disclaimer really annoying music

You should be able to size down with the senate c, radar has a table on there website under ski specs that shows the surface area of the skis if this helps with deciding.

thanks for the advice guys i may try and set up a one man team or even see if others would want to join as well as this might make the process easier.

I am going to college that doesn't have a ski team but was wondering if it is possible to ski for a different school even if i don't attend that school?

Really a beginners ski, it costs over 800 dollars and has the same core as the A1. It isn't in HO's syndicate line but just by reading the ski's description on HO's website It sounds like it has a lot of the same design as the A1 and S1. I was wondering how it might compare to something like the S1 or Senate Carbon.
