  1. He will take students at Zorn though. Now that he has a boat.
  2. It turns out that I had copyrighted music on it and it wouldn't play on mobile. I have fixed it now, see the new link. Edit: Wont be available in 1080p for a few more mins...
  3. Ya ive tricked behind all 4 this week at 19 and the carbon pro and mastercraft are my favorite. The wakes are a tiny bit smaller but way more defined. Especially from inside out.
  4. @wish a plane? No way that he can control it well enough to follow a skiier unless he is a top 3d flier, I went down that road :( Thanks @klindy Too bad Nautique didnt seem interested in broadcasting the mens night slalom from the drone!
  5. I finally got around to half assed editing a video I took with the drone a few weeks ago. Check out Chris Richter skiing -32@34 and @Moskier3ev‌ jumping (it's early in the season so he isn't going too hard). Copter was down for a little as we had an operator error, but I will be back flying it again and getting more footage when the wind ever dies. Enjoy!
  6. If you think there is not much difference between running -32 and -39 I don't know what to tell you. Even the difference from the gate shot at -32 and -35 is HUGE, easily as much as the difference between running 30 mph and 34 mph. At 36 mph only half of the skiiers that can run 32 nationwide and run 35. I think that says alot about how much harder the next line lenghts are.
  7. I know there is, I just personally think those #'s represent where a "course skiier" and "really good skiier" cutoffs are. If you are in pretty good physical shape you can basically stop and turn -28@34, but to ski -35 you have to have really good rhythm, and stack, so that is why I picked that cutoff.
  8. @Than_Bogan‌ Yeah pick the first on that is true for you. Basically wanted to divide people up into can run the course, can ski well, and can ski REALLLY well. Not to say that -38 is easy compared to -39 or someting, but there had to be a line.
  9. I was just wondering how many people on this board are in each range of skiier, for simplicity I have broke it into 4 ranges, maybe someone else would have chosen different ones, but whatever. I made it anonymous so that hopefully it will be more accurate. Also I am asking if you can do it under tournament ocnditions, good driver, strong boat, zero off, but doesnt have to necessarily be in a tournament.
  10. @waternut You can buy a Cipa mirror from amazon for $30 and throw the mirror away and then you have a $30 mount that works great :)
  11. Can you please explain what you mean by torque?
  12. I actually said that I thought the pullup was important when we were idling back to the dock, it came up while discussing if getting a big motor in a non nautique was worth it.
  13. Thanks. BTW the passes were -22@34, -22@36 x3, -28@36x2, and the rest -32@36.
  14. After my last lesson with Trent I cut the video down into just the skiing and relevant talking part of the passes. Check out what a lesson with Trent is like
  15. I started delivering newspapers when I was 8, my parents would follow me around the neighborhood to watch what was up. Then I around 13 I started umpiring softball, and refereeing Hockey, I remember having to ride my bike to the games, even 15 miles across town! Then I started working at A&P (I see Im not the only one). I remember that job because I had to ride my bike across town (seeing a pattern here?) on the hottest day ever in Canada and get the equivalent of my SSN card. I rode back to the store covered in sweat and handed it to the guy soaking wet. After those my first real job I guess was selling sports equipment at SportChek, which is like a nicer version of Academy I guess without the outdoors stuff. That was commission and at 16 years old I was making about $20-25 an hour in 1999 the key was to stand near the Hockey skates :) After that I started working summer jobs in local union factories. First in a place that made hydro-electric generating coils (and also SSN nuclear generator stator coils, that was neat, working with a US navy guy watching everything you do...), Then brake line factory, then conveyor belt motor factory, then Party rental deliveries (BEST JOB EVER for partying and getting in shape, but I did go from ~20/hour to $14.) Then I graduated and worked in the oilfield as a field engineer for 7 years, and now I am a sales engineer for anything that makes things cold! And that's the story of how I became the youngest person to have a house at SMRR by ~15 years!
  16. I use the US gear 13" radius V 1.06 I think with spectra. It is awesome, easy to put on and off, grip is not worn at all yet after about 30 sets. Never had a mis grab. Everyone who has tried it loves the grip, but not all love the shape. That being said it took something like a month to show up when my wife ordered it in October so...
  17. Just sign up for credit cards and use the bonus miles to fly, I haven't paid for a flight in 4 years :D
  18. I watched the rest of the video, she is centered pretty well, maybe off-siding him a little, no cheating going on there.
  19. I think it must be the angle? If you look closely you can see the prop wash is right in the center of the 5 ball gates.
  20. Sorry Bob if I get one of these I have to share it and ski partner needs a 6.2
  21. Everyones house here is like that! @zman where did you see the pic of it though?
  22. @6balls me too on my new N1XT, I heard the term trying to ski back through the gates after 1 and it applies... @toddl I can get that angle, or any angle, but but sure why it matters where you are seeing it from?
  23. @Kelvin I think it was -32 or -35 It was his third pass of his second set and he sometimes skis into 39 I think. I have tried to friend him on facebook to ask.
