Wow! Congrats @skinut !!! That is huge. I think your biggest issue will be keeping the riffraff from Montana out. How long did it take from purchase of the land to the first scoop of dirt?

Super fortunate to have spent many hours in judges towers with the man listening to stories about nearly everything you could imagine. He was definitely someone who inspired awe. He was awesome!

You remember the day your buddy brought home a Skurfer.

I have been searching the web-0-sphere for driver clinics and haven’t had much luck. If anyone here has information regarding dates and locations throughout the country, it seems like this would be a great place to create an easy and useful resource for folks actually interested in growing or maintaining tournament skiing. I know it’s quite possible that my failed search is due to user ineptitude but just the same I’d like to see what’s out there listed on this site. Gracias!

The shoreline does everything an island would do.

I don’t hold a particularly strong opinion either way. Our lake is 2300’ long and has no islands but every other lake I ski on has them. I like clockwise turns and I like counterclockwise turns. I actually prefer the counterclockwise turns. If I was to build a lake, it would have doglegs and no turn islands. My ideal lake would be ski view estates - minus the islands.

Biodiesel and huff french fries while you ski!

“ My goal is to stay close to the handle curled up in a ball so that load I have generated is transferred into the rope and not wasted by bleeding speed at the end of a fast edge change when the ski slams onto the inside edge. I want to swing the handle high up on the boat. My release comes late. It feels like I sacrifice width and allow myself to be pulled narrow still staying close to the handle because I know there is no point reaching if the handle has not swung high enough.”@AdamCord @adamhcaldwell This sounds pretty close to the philosophy behind GUT, but I’m a dyslexic with ADHD, so I could be way off!

Delusional

Lakeside was posting memberships on ski-it-again not too long ago and have a phenomenal promo video, so I’m assuming their desire for anonymity is not a huge concern. Congrats Horton!

I’m belatedly watching the Kaiafas Battle and was wondering the same thing, so I came here to find out. The women’s comp was still entertaining but it would have been nice to see Manon there. This European tour is spectacular!

I had custom footbeds in my radar strada years ago but they disappeared after a fairly spectacular yardsale. I walked the shoreline dozens of times looking for them but they never emerged.

Is this what’s happening with Rossi’s & Regina’s ski when their ski comes up at the end of their turn?

Global cooling was never the scientific consensus. FYI.

Kelly Slater won the world surf championship 11 times and the Billabong Pipe Masters 8 times. His most recent win was this year - 30 years after his first win and a week before his 50th birthday. Has anyone else remained at the top of an extreme sport for 30 years?

69 Slam mid length shorts. They never scoop water and barely require any adjustments after the get-up.

My ‘93 with the 1:1 transmission and 351 h.o. was incredible. Never had a need for efi or the powerslot. Buttery wakes and enough power to rip your arms off. Installed stargazer and Bob’s yer uncle!

Whoa! I just had a dream that someone posted on BOS complaining about a neighbor who was offering pulls at his home site. Dreams can be so surreal!

Don’t worry about chopping rope until you get your hips up! Your back and your rate of progression will thank you.

I am sorry to hear about your injury. I broke my tibial plateau on the fourth pass of the season last year. I’m too old to miss a season, but I’m way too old to hang it up for good! Listen to yer docs and get a good physical therapist. It will soon be a distant memory. Believe me!

No words. Matt was one of the good ones. Rest In Power!

I disagree with @Bruce_Butterfield and agree with @Horton ?! This thread is traveling down a very dangerous road.

I am 5’5” and weigh a buck thirty-five. I freaked everyone out all weekend long when I told the driver my settings - C1+ please!

Dreamy

You can never have enough threads on stack (or alignment!). Thanks @Bruce_Butterfield I have always struggled with my alignment. I thought I had heard every trick that could help trigger some sort of muscle response to find my most leveraged position, but I don’t recall every hearing knee alignment mentioned. I’m hoping and crossing my fingers that your tip will finally click in my brain. After listening to the Spraymakers podcast, I’ve re-upped my focus on straight arms too. It’s amazing how my arms will automatically curl on their own without my constant focus on keeping them straight. Good luck @slim__dunc ! I know what I am doing wrong, but finding the magical brew that will allow me to feel the correct stance and ingrain the proper habits while overriding life-long bad habits is a bugger.
