    That's a bad touch Chad. JP :)

    It's been mentioned elsewhere, but I figure it doesn't hurt to spread the word - you have to size your clincher-type glove as tight as possible. Any extra fabric at the fingertips will affect your ability to let go of the handle in a decidedly negative fashion. I missed a couple of months last summer due to a torn rotator cuff caused by such an incident and I'm still in rehab for it. JP :)

    We talkin' politics here?! Excellent. I hope you don't mind if I jump in. I love talking politics. I don't stop until I've offended everyone - including myself. JP :)

    Thanks Scoke! That's what I did, but for some reason it doesn't want to return to those coordinates when I plug 'em in. Steven - I ski at Otter Tail Lake. It's eight miles south of Three Forks. I'd give you the coordinates, but they don't seem to be working. JP :)

    I'd love to! We'll see what my schedule will allow. Feel free to look me up any time you find yourself in these parts. JP :)

    Again, my coordinates don't seem to be directing Google Earth properly. I'll try to figure out what I'm doing wrong. JP :)

    And finally, this one is in St. Ignatius, MT. The folks at this lake have all been very friendly and enthusiastic. 47.215562, -111.215217. JP

    These two are in Helena, MT. 46.385833, -111.594852. JP :)

    Here's one in Manhattan. It's very difficult to get on - the owner built it for his family to use, but I know a few people who have gained access. For some reason Google Earth doesn't recognize the Lake's coordinates though. 45.514526, -111.215217. JP :)

    You couldn't go wrong contacting Jenny Labaw. She's a personal trainer who has very focused exercises for waterskiers. She's also Marcus Brown's GF. http://www.afitplace.com/ JP :)

    I have only one memory of sun in a lifetime of Seattle Memorial Day Weekends. JP :)

    Amen to the previous three posts. JP :)

    Get the P90X workout. After a couple of weeks of this, you'll be on fire. Bikram yoga is pretty phenomenal stuff too. JP :)

    It was -10 here yesterday.... No sets for me. JP :)

    Richard's TT would be just the boat to replace it with! JP :)
  16. jipster43
    Sweet boat! Seems like it would fill a lot of needs. Good luck! JP :)

    It seems to me that the biggest problem with selling waterskiing is that our preferred demographic is pretty puny at the moment. Growing that demographic means getting more people interested who aren't currently involved in the sport. When those numbers grow the advertising will be much easier to come by, and the only way to grow those numbers is to increase exposure any way you can. I think. JP :)

    Mecca? How appropriate! Found 'em. Thanks! JP :)

    I've been cataloguing all the different ski lakes on google earth for my own amusement. I typically just scan the areas I think may have some until I find 'em. I'm still looking for Eric Lee's lake. If'n anyone out there has the inclination, I'd appreciate addresses or coordinates of your local ski pond. JP :)

    I believe the "no powerboats" policy was in effect back in the good ol' days as well, but they made an exception for one weekend out of the year. My beef is that there are tournaments being held on private lakes near major cities when they could possibly be run on water that would offer far greater exposure. I'm not dissing private lakes. Lord knows they are heaven, but they aren't providing any additional exposure. JP :)

    Why isn't there a ski tournament in every major city each year? Seattle used to have one on Green Lake every summer - and there were always big crowds, but that hasn't happened since the 80's. I don't understand why there can't be a Malibu Open in every major city that has any water at all. It seems to me that's about all it would take to create the exposure that may lead to even greater exposure. These tournaments that are held on private lakes far from the general public aren't doing much for anyone involved. JP :)

    The tip on footbed placement is much appreciated. I didn't consider the potential for release impediments with the insole inside the liner. I'll have to swap mine around. Thanks! JP :)
  23. jipster43
    Amen. JP :)

    A buddy of mine blew his rotator cuff and all the bits and pieces while snowboarding a couple of winters ago. He was 52 at the time and required surgery, but he didn't miss a turn with the help of a Goode Powervest. He also claims his repaired shoulder is better than his other shoulder and he won't be wearing the PV this coming summer. Good luck with the recovery fellas. JP :)

    My mom just built a new house and installed radiant heat for all the walkways and the driveway. I curse her every time my snow shovel jams against a crack in the sidewalk. JP :)
