  1. It is not stationary when the Sergeant gives a karate chop to the inside elbow, as to bend it out, with the shoulder moving forward in relation to the hips, yelling close enough to feel the spit in your face "See what happens when you bend your elbows".
  2. The 15 off'rs didn't impress the Sergeant today. Corrective action was needed on the dock. We had to to hold this position for one beer, on each side.
  3. Got home late and ran out of light so these pics are the best I could do.
  4. Interlock tape. No inserts. I will get pics as soon as time permits.
  5. This ski was purchased from Goode in January 2013. I am the second owner. The first owner skied only a few sets on it. I talked to the guy and trust what he says. He wanted to try a Goode and it didn't work out for him. I purchased in late 2013 and have skied approximately 30 sets on it. I am a 15 off skier. The ski has seen very little work and is fresh. I will take pictures and post them soon. Will also list on Ski-It-Again. Priced to move. $475 shipped.
  6. My Senate C was delivered late Saturday. I skied on it Sunday for the first time. I'm a 15 offer. Skied three sets. The second set was an "off the dock" PB. On the third set I beat that with another off the dock PB. I was skiing with Keith (skiep) and he can go into the technicalities a lot better than me but what I felt the most was the tail riding higher in the turns allowing me to be in a better position throughout the course. I also felt it casting out off the second wake like I've never felt before (maybe better position, maybe the ski?). Absolutely love the ski. It rode in the front seat of the truck on the trip home. Its the first ski that has ever been promoted to the cab of the truck.
  7. I'd love to find a 1998 -2001 SN with a blown engine on the cheap and have Jody re-power with the EX 343.
  8. Jody is the man for a brand spanking new PCM drop in or he can build a unit for less. Well under $10K (maybe under $9k?) for a new PCM 5.7 and substantially less if he builds it (if I remember correctly).
  9. Say its a good deal? The fiberglass stress would scare me away. Can you please provide the contact info. (grin) Seriously, fixing fiberglass is easy. No dig deal.
  10. I can hear the whine of the electricity meter spinning out of control from here.
  11. Matt, sometimes putting up with Jody pays off :)
  12. I've recently been in a boat pulling an elite skier who centers the gates. Doubt she (woops, probably gave it away) ever has a gate pulled.
  13. Chris, I just found your articles posted on your website. As a greenhorn weekend hack, I spend more time reading than skiing and I've read a lot of articles. I have to say that I've connected with yours the most. Power Triangle, The Balanced Approach, The Dreaded Tail Turn really hit home. For me, the dreaded tail turn is screwing everything up. Appreciate the time you've put into it.
  14. Give one gate mulligan per tournament. There will 200K spectators. For goodness sake, give them a show. With so many skiers missing them, obviously there is a problem.
  15. I was recently in your situation, except I was using a RTP. After enduring several falls with one foot in and one foot out, resulting in banged up shins and lots of blood in the boat, my partner insisted that I change to double boots (I think he was more worried about blood in his boat than me). I much prefer the double boots and wish I would have switched sooner, not to mention there's been no more bleeding, or any other injuries, after LOTS of falls. But as 6balls says, its personal preference.
  16. I want to do whatever three exercises Horton is doing.
  17. For Auburn and Montgomery contact Jeff Wiswall at Faith Lake.
  18. 3 weekends straight at Lake 38. Shorts and top. Can't beat it!
  19. This is my boat. 2004 196. 310 hours currently. http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?topic=Search&category=Comp_Boat&postid=24423
  20. Goodeskier, we have Chad. At nearly 40 It's safe to say he is equal to 10 four year olds.
  21. This settles it. I just picked up a Nano. Recon I will order Powershells. Skiep, you play the roll of Dave Miller. If I don't run 28 off by the end of summer its your fault. :)
