2003 gtr

 

 

when espn first started in the 1980s I can recall watching skiing a lot. From watching I became a fan of Mike Hazelwood.

too many public accesses. Neighborhoods around lakes filled with homes with boats on trailers. Lakes are too busy when kids want to ski. surfing and tubing can be done on a busy lake.

 

 

 

 

 

my 2003 gtr has not been getting used on prior lake the past few years. Been considering selling. Banana ron are you really interested?

until the ice starts shifting around

Ok thanks, good to know that you need a fat sac along with the shaper.

Unfortunatly my teen kids do not have the love for slalom skiing I have. They are all about wake surfing. I'm not ready to give up my Gekko Gtr, but the kids are. I am wondering if anyone has mounted a Wake Shaper https://www.wakemakers.com/mission-delta-wakesurf-device.html or something similar to there direct drive, and if they make a decent surf wake.

When my ski buddy moved away I ended up buying a stand up jet ski...and thus became the enemy of you all.

No clue where the best snow is now but in general Breckenridge is my least favorite resort. Maybe I was just doing the mountain wrong but I felt like I walked to more lifts than I skied too. Also know that it has become very popular for snow boarders. I don't snow board.

snowed here yesterday. Ice is almost gone on the lake though. been raining since saturday

my permanent address is in Minneapolis Mn, my weekend address is Balsam Lake Wisconsin. its 90 miles north east of the twin cities. The Balsam Lake Water Ski Association has been gaining interest the last few years, so far mainly do "show" skiing events. hoping to get a course on the lake soon. However half moon lake is just a 1/2 mile trailer pull to there permanent course.

Just made our family spring break plans. Family could not decide on anything, so I finally got them to skip the beach and go skiing. Snow skiing kinda thinking one of these villas may have been a better option as the polar vortex here in Minnesota is continuing to freeze my soul.

pulled my 12 year old behind a snowmobile on a snowboard I found yesterday. we both were wondering about a slalom ski set up for snow a few minutes into it. so razor what are you skiing on?

I bought a port-0-dock lift cause that's what the marina on our lake sells. im sure some are better, but it works fine. My only comment is about canopies, I don't like them. Birds nest inside them, they block your view from shore, they add a lot of work to spring and fall- taller, heavier, and a canopy maintain.

 

 

smoking is out it all about vaporizers now

yes thanks !!!

my 12 year old son is also wanting to try trick skiing. wondering what a 100 lbs boy would start out on?

lake region

stand up jet ski, vintage snowmobile racing, hockey, snow skiing, motocross

 

kawasaki quit building standups in 2011, yamaha still makes a stand up super jet, but it is sold for "competition use only" the stand up skis are all two stroke engins and jan. 1 2012 our government put restrictions on the use of two stroke engins.

I would agree that pulling a strong slalom skier from the pole or eyelet is a mistake. It does make it easier to get up though, especially with a shortened rope. when starting a beginner we always go boom 1st then boom with handle, then from the tower pole.

 

my kids do not like tubing from the tower it scares them tube gets airbourne and often flips over. to keep ropes out of water we like the "booster ball" its like a big football that floats in the middle of the tow rope. works good,opens up the boat seating area as you can pull of the back cleat, and it makes pulling multiple tubes easier because you still only have one rope attached to boat.
