33 yrs ago I thought about getting "Shortline" tattooed high on my left arm. It would have been written in script using a ski rope starting with the 15off loop & ending with the 38off loop, the main line curved back under the word & the handle was just to the left of the S. I have always thought it would have been a great looking tattoo, & there are many reasons why I am glad I did not get it done. One is I don't ski well enough to be called Shortline any more. BTW my son went to enlist in the service, they almost did not let him in because he thought he was being cool, he had a crown tattooed on his shoulder. He had to get a exemption because they thought it might be "gang related". The short version of what I'am saying is Don't do it.

where was she skiing at?

Any news on these topic's? I'am looking forward to seeing the results of the new ZO "D".....

I wish someone could get it thru my thick skull. My lake owner tells people don't pull so hard.....In my world the faster the boat/shorter the rope the harder you have to pull to get to the other side.

Ed, shoot me a email please. hughnichols at g mail. thx

Do you think a ZO "D" setting will bring skiers back to tournament's? Yes , No , Maybe?

Ok John, what r u hittin on?

Wileys front, RTP rear, 29.5" DFT. Ive got 4 sets under my belt..... grab2go, I used jaws for my length mesurement... Thanks guys!

I am trying out a Goode 9960 mid-ride 66" 208amp. I can't seam to get the front down. I added some tip, (was 6.779, I went to 6.870) that helped some. BTW bindings are stock DFT. I was thinking of adding a ventral wing. What do you guys think......

Thanks

Better yet, King Andy (same guy that kept the perfect pass setting off of ZO) has the final say. MS, could you expand on this statement please....

I also rode the vice thompjs had & I liked it.

Sully, I think i want a vice, Whats AWS? $400 is my price range...

Rather than PPSG coming up with ZO emulator, I would like to see ZO build a emulator for PP. I hate ZO!! For me, for my skiing style, for the fun I want to have behind the boat ZO SUCKS!!! BTW Roger, I have a '02 RLX w/ 320 monsoon. I was told ten grand to convert my boat.....some thing about a crank sensor it needed. Oh well I feel better now.

I use a bolt & wing nut on my SportTube. TSA has all ways put it back together ok.

Ditto Wish, I had a '84 ts6m. No spray at all!

Put 3 concrete blocks in the nose, that fixed my 02 RLX......

oops....

I skied yesterday evening with much better result's. The 22off bump was a little painful crossing on my off side, 28 & 32 were ok. I started taking glucosamine/condroitin last friday. I also spoke to the retired chiropractor & showed him the video. He said "Hugh, your patella is not tracking properly". He then said pretty much what Bruce55 said. I also didnot cram my back foot in quite so far. Thanks for the help on this everyone!

Have you ever tried an enversion table? One of the guys I ski with swears by it.

My fault on this! I should have "said" I don't understand, or ??????. Also you can never have to much caffeine, my day officially starts after a full pot of coffee!

RAL, I showed him video of me skiing.

Than Bogan, thx I have a buddy thats a retired chiropractor, I will show this to him this weekend. see what he has to say.

RAL< it feels like its in the center of the knee, the knee cap dosen't hurt, just the joint. 22off will bring tears to my eyes.... clemsondave, leg extension's, hamstring curls bring on the same pain. I think I'll swim laps in the pool this weekend & squats using a case of Shiner Bock as weight..... Try skiing monday or tuesday
