Best men skier in the world--it's not close.

Had a guy drop on the ice playing league hockey a few years back--some of our rescue squad guys happened to be playing started CPR/called 911/ran for the AED--lucky man.  Had bypass surgery.  Doing fine today.    

Early defibrillation is key.  Having AED's available has increased the survival for out of hospital arrest.  

Credit to all involved textbook code work.  Kudos.   Doing things right gives the best statistical chance.  

@thager you are up a pass.  Don't change anything!  When you stand in a pile of shit son, you best stand still lest you get messy.  

Not a sport flush with cash and have to think about the finances--how much more will MC make b/c they sign a great skier?  How many more boats sold?  Don't they already sell out the PS?  Will they make more PS's or keep pumping out their resources for the high margin surf/recreational boats?  I believe the latter likely meaning that a sponsorship deal for a pro skier is not worth all that much.  I hope I'm wrong and he's banking.  

After watching @horton I'd be interested in a Parsons Pineapple looks like something I could ski smooth on, but scramble on to get scores.  

That wake is crazy

My best ski I ran more successful 38's than all other skis I ever owned...combined.  It wasn't always the smoothest experience, but it got me the most buoys with consistency--and both practice and tourney PB's at 39.  Not a lot of love for that Razor A68 for others, though, so as Horton's post above it's all individual and difficult to explain.  I could make a lot of mistakes on that Razor--hell it may have induced some of them--but I could scramble out on that ski as well as run pretty when I was "on".    

What's the price of a new Pineapple?

I'm a big 196 guy but just drove a 200 at a tourney lake all weekend and it was a very nice drive.  I favor the 196 wakes at my 28 off opener but shorter I'll take either.

With a great hull back to '97 I would think you could do better on hours/condition/trailer.  Go look, but if it's not right keep looking.  After '02 or so if excalibur you can upgrade ZO if I recall.

Stokes.  I liked the Camaro but not it's longevity even trying to be careful.  I felt like the Stokes was almost as warm but more durable.  

Ski company runs 196 molds, Sunsetter Lxi molds, Sanger barefoot molds, and then has some wake pigs.  Complete line up.  I know it's not possible but that would be a bad ass slalom boat, a bad ass family do it all boat that still produces a great slalom wake, a bad ass barefoot boat, then some wake surf pigs.  

That's cool!

@bananaron

I like 1.  

I never remember the numbers but why lake 3?  I like the one with the boat launch furthest from tourney lake---like a tunnel of trees with a course in the middle.

@75Tique for a rookie that's pretty nice skiing!  Keep at it you are going to run 38 at 34 mph.  

Mitch has muscles, man.  Ran 32 off 36 both first 2 rounds, 2.5 and 4 @35.  He can run it.  

For practice time the A-teamers were typically the experienced drivers--so that limited when all could ski as well and how long sessions took.  We wanted to ski but couldn't drive/ski all day.  Key to train in some B team drivers.

Tournament, ZO, happens to be a record course tho that particular tourney wasn't a record cert.  If asked how far I got in practice I'll tell.  Like @ForrestGump I sing the Springsteen song about skiing and powerlifting---Glory Days--they pass you by Glory Days....  

Interesting.  One way I've seen teams struggle is that you have a committed group that really leads seriously, then they graduate and there is not a good "handbook" or road map of sorts to give to the incoming skiers to make sure tasks get accomplished and how to do them.

I think with 4 she had already decided get it around 5 and save it--but she's gonna run that at some point
