I and a boat driver can set our lake up to trick in about 5 min... put the three buoys back in in 5 min.....we do not have a jump... yet!
LymanLand takes about... 5 min to change over to tricks and back.. Jump course is incorporated slalom course.. 1 lake site..Home of the Malibu open and 2023 souther regional's
it's been my recent experience, we spend more time screwing around with sure path and it's inconsistencies, moving it from boat to boat then setting up for other then slalom..
in my brief stint as a tournament skier , member, judge and driver (45 years ) , I don't think that the ratio of overall skiers to single event skiers ( mostly slalom) has changed. what we have is a drastically reduced pool of membership within the sport over the last 25 years or so. Overall was at the forefront in 80's and early 90's due to TV exposure. and as John commented it takes a lot of commitment as well as ingrained talent to be a Overall skier.
how does one get road rash jumping?? Photo courtesy of Reggie! she was my boat judge this last weekend..
