  1. see this thread http://www.ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/comment/236845 I believe Mr. Horton checked with the soloshot boys and it is not fast enough to follow us in our application, which is too bad
  2. @Bdecker sorry to hear this. Heal up.
  3. @Jody_Seal Maybe an example. I am only talking about AWSA rankings. Go to a new 4 round event. Ski 34mph and score 2@35 and 3@35 on Sat, and 5@32 and 1@35 on Sunday. The 3 top scores would be counted toward the ranking list(92,93,91). Currently today if this was 2 separate sanctions on the 3@35(93) and the 1@35(91) would counted as highest score per sanctioned tournament are used for rankings.
  4. How many scores count? We don't have many in the NorthEast but I have skied a few 2 rounds a day 2 day weekend tournaments out west and I liked the idea of getting 2 scores in a weekend.
  5. What speed you guys going? Seems really fast for a new course skier.
  6. +1 on Wally for turn balls. Long lasting, 3 years on a public lake and I perceive them to be safer which is priceless
  7. Like I do every time this topic comes up I look to see what Soloshot is doing and it looks like the guys over there are getting closer to something we can use. The FAQ for the new one says it can do 80 degrees a second in either direction. I still have a number of questions such as:. Is that fast enough ball to ball? What is the delay before going back in the other direction? Will slalom skiing literally wear this mount out after 100 sets. Maybe we can convince them once they are in full production to give @Horton or someone on BOS a test unit for the year to answer these questions. A ski school or a couple of weekend tournaments would be faster to find the duty cycle though. This concept solves a lot of our video issues with vibration, rolling shutter and hits after the turn causing distortion and of course since it is not attached to the pylon it will be easy to use when shorting ropes. Lets hope they got it right or are successful so they continue development
  8. @6balls I as well as my ski partner run strada(old vapor) And a rtp. We both run into 35 with an occasional look at 38.
  9. The real answer is to do what Jenny Labaw tells you to do. Lots of ballers do/have used her with great success. @Than_Bogan I hope what I learned and changed can travel with me back up north.
  10. HiiT. High intensity interval training. Deadlifts and pull-ups
  11. Last time I checked the soloshot would not work while moving. The mount needs to be stationary.
  12. I get more more use out of my Camaro hot top. But for extending the season in New England nothing beats a full Camaro.
  13. Worse now. It does not reformat the page on iPhone when reading a thread. It just keeps going so you have to scroll
  14. Performance issues with original iPad. Looks fine when it is working.
  15. Performance is improved on iPhone 6. Every once in a while a coupe characters are cut off on the threads themselves. iPad mini first version not so much. Threads themselves continue to refresh as you scroll and it is unusable.
  16. I never use it but I believe PP has a fall button that lets the system adjust to get good times if the skier falls. I practice 95% of the time with PP classic and SG and my tournament scores are as good or not better than practice. I am only 170# which may make a difference.
  17. Still skiing in my Black-tec Camaro long suit in New England. If that is not an endorsement nothing is. Everyone else is in dry suits.
  18. @BRY, Unfortunately finding a short term furnished rental is much more difficult than I thought. As far as I can tell most/all of those on Apartments.com, rent.com, Zillow are non-furnished, non-seasonal. I will go back and check some more. Trailering my boat at this point is not really an option for me.
  19. @dchristman - Thanks for the nudge, I was thinking that it was too far North, but options are slim. I just talked to Steve and his place is not available until April. Keep those ideas coming.
  20. I am on a quest to qualify for nationals. Problem is I am stuck at 2-3 at 35 and to qualify for Mens 4 the average is .5 or so at 38. So I convinced my wife now that my kids are off in college, to spend Feb-Apr in FL and I would like to ski with Chet. I skied with him for a week and it really helped and I enjoyed it. Any help with locating a rental would be greatly appreciated, I already have a realtor but she is not finding much. Thanks
  21. Water 61. Air 56. Water too high with lots of backwash. 30 min west of boston. I need a rental near Chet for February through April if anybody has any connections. Goal is to finally run 35 and qualify for nationals.
