Skiing looked great Kevin! Thanks for sharing the link, I will watch it ore this week to absorb the coach. Where is this?? Ran my 1st -22 at 34 mpg today 2x!! It felt so much more natural than the -19 I had been skiing at the past 2 months

I ran my 1st -22 at 34 mph today,....the walls are falling peeps! Oh yeah I countered as a natural response to the stack.

Good points and all all be taken into consideration today as I throw myself at it again! My stack needs major work and I hope it will set up a countered position!

After a long time of focusing on trying to 'hook up leveraged' on my 1-3-5 (RFF) I have concluded from video that I need to work on my counter rotation to prevent hooking up to the handle in the slouched posture I have hard wired. Part of why I bring this up is the chain reaction if you will effect in the pass. Once hit by the boat already forward it is impossible to correct that by, bring my hips up via the stack, pinning my arms to my vest or any of the other single aspect 'just do this' suggestions. I propose here the idea of a chain reaction effect that it seems just as the foot feeds the tibia, femur, pelvis and lumbar spine. If you have a tight calf or a hypo mobile sub talar joint you will have effects up the chain uinto the hip. Also with skiing it is not just fix this one aspect it is one aspect feeds the next as we fatigue parts break down. Who has fixed hooking up leveraged via adding a good counter rotation? -Don

I got one this year and love it! Easy transition from my strada which is on Ski it again currently

Super cool!

Sweet thanks for sharing this!

Very cool! We have friends that go down there several times a year, not skiers though. I really wanna go!

She is French,...she can do what ever she wants.

Well put once again, I will study this!

Super cool, happy b-day to your pops!

@SkiJay well put! The Only reason I put Vapor in the title is to get interest in the thread. We had the early edge change discussion at Sunpray Sunday and most agreed it was a 36mph short line method, however, what you said makes total sense. This video was taken way too early (2nd pass at this speed) and only meant to see what the Vapor looked like.

Mine is 'Shasta' due to buying it in Redding Ca. and Mt Shasta is right there!

Thank you Chris!

Thanks guys. A pm to Matt Rini confirmed the front should be straight and for me the rear should be toed out slightly! For a RFF guy like me this will help me not get 'dumped' forward in 2-4 balls and promote me finishing stacked in 1-3-5 verbatim per Rini!. Can you tell I am excited?

Two weeks ago I was at -.7 from 34.2mph, yesterday this was taken the very first time skiing at this speed (34.2 minus .2). I should not have filmed this so soon. A month ago I started the season at 32 mph, so the rapid progress is super encouraging! The stacked position is slowly coming together. I just learned I have been skiing with my Radar boots internally rotated when the front should be straight and the rear should be one click out (per Matt Rini's response this am). The walls are coming down, stay tuned!

Making so much progress so fast has been amazing with obvious work to do. Early in the season so I am psyched. Thanks for the positive and encouraging thoughts guys!

I noticed after using the 2012 strada boot for the past 2 years that the right front one is mounted from the factory toed in, and the rear toed in as well placing both hips into internal rotation. This seems like it could help on one side of the boat but maybe mot so much on the other. Anyone have ideas as to why this is? Have some of you moved them from factory to be more centered?

I have been on the Vapor for about 3 weeks now and like it a lot! It whips around and sets ups up nicely across the wake. I have been bumping the boat speed .1 closer to 34.2 proper and today was making passes at -.2 for an even 34mph at -19. My goal is getting settled at 34.2 then -22 within in a week or two. I am now able to ski 3x a week. I noticed I got slack at 3ball which caused me to crouch more than my usual bad offside pull. Wondering if I have too much line for the angle I had into the ball and need to start -22 asap? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJeufzj54_g&list=UUYiMWvp9JpTT_c45P9W1Jsg

The brace addresses a symtom in the video I share the PT clinical way to treat the cause and subsequntly eliminate the 'ittis'. I have posted this before, but here ya go,

Loving the results my new radar Vapor is giving me,...been out about 7 x this spring and ramping up the frequency to 3x a week now!

Today I move from the Strada to the Vapor. Perfski were great allowing me to send a video to fwd to matt Rini for set up! I am placing the boots (strada) same as on the Strada ski -front in center hole rear as close to front as possible. Where are you all placing them and if different why?

I was able to not pull out so aggro which allowed me to let off and glide about 5' wider than 2-4-6. I definitely got to one ball early and wide! more excited about not being as sore the day after as I was last week (which was the 1st time out)!

Thanks fellas! Plenty to try this Sunday.

I have been told in the past pull out 5' farther than the 2-4-6 in order to get a better angle on the gate shot. I am looking for tips to keep the line tight while out there waiting for the gate shot. I may be pulling out and letting up too abruptly. Even when I feel like I have not let up too fast I get out there and start drifting in with slack resulting and the gate/pass is blown. Then of course I go back to my comfort zone.
