  1. Woud this poll change much if it simply asked, How many injuries have you had while slalom skiing (fall or no fall) that required medical care?
  2. When I brought up today's Senate hearing about the FBI's horrible mishandling of the Nassar sexual abuses, it was just to note that SafeSport was specifically brought up. And, that the SafeSport handling of the matter was viewed very unfavorably by the victims. I was not offering an opinion on what value SafeSport may offer today. Maybe they learned from their mishandling or lackluster response to the crimes against the gymnasts, maybe they haven't? IDK
  3. Senate hearing happening right now regarding the FBI's handling (actually, tragic mishandling) of sexual abuse by Larry Nassar of young female gymnasts, including our top Olympic gymnasts. Senator Grassley specifically asked if they could comment on SafeSport and their role in helping them. The gymnast that answered had to start by saying, "I'll try not to be disrespectful". She basically went on to say that SafeSport failed them. Her and her mom raised the abuses to SafeSport and they didn't help, their issues were just passed around the organization like a hot potato. The young ladies feel they were failed to be protected, or they're reporting of abuses buried or mishandled by the USOC, USAG, SafeSport and the FBI. Food for thought, I guess. What comes out of this hearing may shed new light on the abuses that have occurred, but more importantly the lack of doing what was needed to protect or help the victims, and stop the abusers.

    @Gloersen Cool video! Really enjoy seeing 2 of the best M7 skiers out there, the pair of Jacks. They both make skiing short line look easy.
  5. @swbca On my S8 I can turn off video stabilization. Whether it stays off using the Wakeye app, who knows? I also selected front camera on my phone, but the Wakeye app still only turns on the rear camera.
  6. How do you get the Samsung S8 to use the front side camera when using the Wakeye app?
  7. @ColeGiacopuzzi I guess you could say the same regarding key differences between the 19 and 22?
  8. Sounds like you can get a higher buoy count at 32 mph, and your comfortable with that speed. If it's a C tournament, ski 32 mph.
  9. As @McGruder noted, look for any source of air being sucked in when under load. Check all hose connections from the hull fitting to your raw water pump inlet. Also, check that the strainer body is screwed tight against the gasket. Sometimes the screen isn't seated well up in the head of the strainer and keeps the can from sealing against the gasket. You would be surprised how little air intrusion it takes to cut the water flow a lot
  10. I used to take my ski to work in my Z3 to have for sets after work. No problem. Mustang is even bigger.
  11. With code SPN 636 FMI 2, the cam sensor is not likely your issue. It has it's own codes.
  12. @actman You might find the attached screenshots helpful.
  13. When a crankshaft position sensor begins to fail, they can act badly all of a sudden, or fail only when the engine warms up and the heat effects the failing sensor. On my 2016 Txi, the CPS is the same as used in late 90s Suburbans with 5.7L engine. Cost $79 at Auto Zone with lifetime warranty. SPN 636 FMI 2 is likely your CPS beginning to fail, IMHO.
  14. A few years ago, I tried going from double Vapor boots to the HRT. Like noted above, maybe I should have tried the HRT with it set looser. I found when my heel would rise, it would not go back down in the heel cup. Back to double boots. Maybe this fall I'll try again with a looser fit. If that doesn't work, it's for sale. With double Vapor boots, I leave the back boot upper bungie very loose to not restrict heel rise.
  15. @MISkier Thanks. That's the first I heard that Rev S was to take advantage of the capabilities of the single puck. I have single puck with Rev R - so, maybe I should consider the upgrade. From doc starting, or hanging out at the starting dock, I have yet to hear one skier use the plus setting. And, during TWBS webacasts, I never see it being used. Evidently, not the big thing some thought it might be way back when?
  16. @lpskier Thanks. So, maybe the tweaking of ZO across the board of settings was exclusively for the newer Nautique after all the complaints when the redesign first came out?
  17. @lpskier I thought the Rev S upgrade only impacted the plus settings. Not true?
  18. Another excellent tool for shoulder and upper arm rehab and strengthening is the BodyBlade. Grip the bar in the middle while holding arm in various positions, straight and elbow bent. Then, make the ends vibrate back n forth with just subtle movements of the arm/shoulder. Like the shoulder sphere, you will tire you arm/ shoulder muscles quickly until you rebuild strength and endurance.
  19. If we adhered to every warning to the T, and the frequencies recommended, heeding warnings would be a full time job. B) But, do take note, and apply some common sense.
  20. Probably too soon to ask - but has anyone with an 8-1/2 shoe size compared the new boot in size 8 and size 9? I see @Horton likes the size 10 with a 10-1/2 shoe size. But, in the previous Carbitex, I went with size 9, though the fit is a little bit loose, size 8 was just too darn tight on my big toes.
  21. @Reddley One thing you should know up front, awards and cudos are given out anytime you can poke fun at @Horton
