  1. Why is getting and maintaining ratings still so hard these days?
  2. Why would this be done so far ahead of time, and unprepared at that? “Social media, Beer tents”. How about an accurate schedule of events? Best of luck to Ski West, a lot of factors are going against them.
  3. Wake Sport is most likely anything involving someone behind the boat “utilizing” the wake with no separation or specification to what that may be. That’s going definitely impact any towed water sport.
  4. Re-gaining control of the storyline/messaging, while laying the groundwork for justifying future maneuvers. Letting it die on the vine so then you have reason to trim it.
  5. Off topic, but the promo programs killed the dealers’ interest and relationships with water skiers, and then once the manufacturers trimmed or cut promo programs, the current arrangements and expectations are not sustainable. Governing bodies signing exclusive contracts don’t help either.
  6. Garmin. They even have a waterski mode, it’s recreational, but it’s something. Sleep is very important, and a basis for the “readiness”, which is a major part of a Whoop as well. (Exertion and rest)
  7. Inappropriate, well intended or not.
  8. Congrats to Nate. That’s 2 months away.
  9. Picking a college isn’t that hard. Where do you want to go/where were you accepted. Do they have a ski team. Check the NCWSA website. Contact the captain. Go visit.
  10. @6balls The NCWSA has a guidebook for teams to utilize to help with continued stability and sustainability. They give a good amount of guidance and have a well established network in place.
  11. Wonder if Nate’s resignation may be associated with this? Seems like a big mess.
  12. Suggest a wakeboard handle, the width will help with your handle passes.
  13. @Horton yes thanks are in order. However this special event ended up taking the practice lake last minute for the entirety of Friday when many people were planning to practice that day. As neat as this event was, it shouldn’t impact Nationals in any manner.
  14. Would think Nationals participation would be a pre-requisite for competing in the Invitational.
  15. It is very disappointing. It should be a focus of USA-WS to provide one for its largest membership segment. I know I will get emails and notifications about the Show Ski broadcast. I don’t care what the logistics may be, make it happen, it’s a reasonable expectation of membership to see an effort to provide one, and yes it brings exposure to the sport and organization.
  16. @horton unless you want to wait around all day to see if competition ends early enough for your number on the lake you’re skiing on to be called, I’d take whatever is first available and enjoy the family time.
  17. Deadline is tomorrow night. Waterski results is your most accurate until day off, expecting they keep it updated.
  18. @mlange have you swapped the speakers too by chance?
  19. PCM OM page 36-37. Basically take the hose from the heat exchanger, open valve, and bleed the system while filling the coolant reservoir until all air is removed. It is helpful to have the reservoir end elevated, like on a boat ramp if possible. @Jody_Seal may have some additional comments.
  20. @gerjon2005 are you purging your system? Sounds like there’s air and it’s getting hot.
  21. O’Neill is top notch, Jet Pilot has put a lot of effort in to USGA vests as well.
  22. What was its intent or actual storyline? Everyone I’ve spoken to liked it at first, but eventually struggled to finish it. The “critiquing” will come as this is a rare representation of our “sport” to be shared with the masses.
