    Thanks to Trent for another great clinic. Everyone seemed to get a lot out of their sessions.

    @Horton --- He did check your spray?

    I had custom orthopedic foot beds made. If I wear them most of the time, I'm good. Standing or walking barefoot not a good idea for me

    You can get mico switch from them, you need to be good at soldering small wires, plus adjustment after install. I bought a new one after looking at the job

    @MISkier summary is pretty good. I've skied everything he mentioned from 22 to 32 off and I don't have any big arguments with it. I'm a Malibu promo and of course I'm biased but the off-brands MISkier mentioned are good options for anyone.

    Don't do this:

    @Shark With Rico's help surprised you didn't run 5 every time. Congrats on your skiing.

    The rattle on my 17 is from the glove box lid. Other than that it is really nice. Dennis Kelly ground rudder at factory (mine is promo) and it drives great. I did not have issue with the rope catching, except getting it caught on swim deck. That was rare and really hard to do.

    I guess a "Rico"at 41@36mph is not that bad

    @mwetskier I don't even like picking up a half sheet by myself - 2 10 footers at once-- no thanks

    @JGray No kidding, that was kicking my a** four days in a row.

    A few, plus friends in surrounding neighborhoods. It came to 1.5 inches of going into my first floor

    I'm helping flooded neighbors, no time to put it on this time.

    Freddie K had 210 and 208, Taylor Garcia had 202 if I remember correctly. Long way at night! Ramp was at 5.5

    @keithh2oskier Now that is funny

    Most skiers can't really tell. I know TFIN does, he has told me that I countered to soon on certain buoys -- and I know he was right.

    Some vehicles have fuses for trailer wiring separate from those on the vehicle. Probably not your issue if you are getting back up lights on one side of your trailer.

    Careful, he may sell you a house too. If you can get there do it. He is great coach.

    Could I get his fin settings?

    It is not uncommon for ropes used in a tournament with a lot of good skiers to be 2 inches longer when I measure for day 2. Usually they require fidding rope into them. Big Dawg tournaments are good example of this. If you expect that someone will set some regional or national record, your ropes need to be less that actual when you start the day.

    Don't pull with car. You may break rope and have it whip someone. If the ropes have been used for awhile they can get longer. I've measured Big Dawg ropes that were used in previous Big Dawg and they tended to be just a bit too long. Sometimes they hardly change between tournaments. Also once in awhile I've see a section missing! You need to measure.
