@Horton i have also talked to KLP and he gave me permission to say, "while I can't replace Andy, I will do my best to help any Mapple customer ski there best." He also mentioned that the new t3, had a very good reception in Mexico at the worlds, and he sold several skis there.

@DanE , you may email me at ekolb@earthlink.net or Kris at kris.lapoint@att.net When do you want to stop by?

@mattP not sure if anyone has video. I unfortunately was too sick to travel to our tournament yesterday. But I am soooo stoked about Coreys' skiing!!! He is a great guy and now to be on the elite 41 off list, wow!!

Hey @lpskier thanks for the update. Looking forward to a having a great time this Sunday! Put me down to help judge if you need.

We will be hosting our 2nd annual year end tournament in Orlando at LaPoint Ski Park. You can sign up for class C or record L. We are planning 2 rounds with a possibility of a third round. If you have skied with us in the past, come back, we have some new things like a sinkable system for the zero ball in our 8 ball set up, (which is allowed during the tounament). If you never been, come on out to our nice private and wind protected site, right in the heart of Orlando, next door to Universal Studios. We are offering 1 free practice ski set with any paid entry!! You can use it anytime now till the event. Details are in usawaterski.org

We have 2002 MC 209 which is the about the same as x9 without a tower. We love this boat for all around rec skiing and just spending time on the water. Our boat has capacity for 12 passengers! You wound find that on too many boats that are 21ft long! We dont take the boat in the course to much anymore. I would highly recommend the mcx9 for your family. We have about 600hrs and have not needed much repair other ther regular maintenance

I have a 63 radar lyric for sale. It has been a great ski for my daughter. She is 16 now and just got her a 65 lyric to replace it. I would take $125 for it.

I know it's not a direct comparison, but my Chevy Suburban has 7855 hrs on it and is original, it has towed boats and cars all over this country ands is running strong, mileage is 258K and will be headed to Orlando for thanksgiving and towing a trailer back to Ohio. It runs down to road at about 2000rpm on average. I am ok with a high hr boat.

He best his own record,I think is was 1@41

We start at 8am on Sunday. I get in Saturday to set up. @wish are you skiing at mapple?

Ok, @wish you got it! When do you want get a free practice? I am in town till Thur at noon, and back get back on Sat November 1.

We are having our 1st tournament on Sunday November 2. We are taking a few class c entries, and have a few L/R spots left. 2 rounds, come and visit our site and get a free practice round with paid entry.

@wish you so had that pass! You looked great and it seem you just stood up at 5? Nice skiing!

Nice job Matt!

I took the slow skiing challenge from @ScarletArrow‌ last week. So after my normal set, I went back to 28 off and had him slow the boat to 23mph, it was tough, but I ran it, (@ob I may have ran 6 ball over but I gave myself the full pass!) so then we slowed it to 21mph ran it (again no judges in place) eyes closed 1/2 the time, so tried 19 and got 2 before going otf! Wondering what others skiers can do at slow speeds?

I have wondered if there would be a way to put a gps puck on top of the pylon, then send that info to a computer screen to see how much deviation there really is?

@JohnCox‌ how is the recovery going?

@Alvin_Neff‌ I agree with you. It was goode that Andy was still able to get 2 at 41 after that! I wish the judges could of thrown a penalty flag to the protestors. Maybe we as skiers need to adhere to a conduct code of sportsmanship?

Skiers do not pick driver, the top seed gets to pick to go first or not. Car was not on berm but at the end of the lake flashing lights as he approached course at 39 is what I heard from more than one source. Whether it was intentional or not we may never know.

I was there and I have bad taste in my mouth. If the skiers will stick to skiing, and let the judges do the judging, the event would have not had a delay, and the same result would have resulted. And a lot of us would have seen the final bracket.

Hey, it was fun being there and driving for you yesterday,way to go! I am pretty sure you had 2 @ 28 not 1.5. ?&&@$$$ judges playing hardball I guess!
