And the reflex! That's awesome!

Ya if you are using a 404 release, it is NOT compatible with the new white cuff. It will deffinately feel like it's harder to snap a 404 release over the 500 heel, since it is higher.

Broke my 9900 and sent it in to get it fixed. It came back pretty much brand new. I sent it in without the fin block and they sent it back with a fin block w/ fin and wing.

Honestly don't understand the tape concept at all... It is *preventing* the ski from flexing upward, even it the block is flexing due to the tape between ski and block, the ski I think is unchanged. I could be wrong.

My vote was neutral before I read @bruce_butterfield comment. That is perfect.

@brody I'm sorry that I can't comment on the radar but I do know I came from a 9900 goode. Which was the model ski goode made while the a2 was in production and I can say that there was a VAST difference in performance

 

I think this is true with ANY modern ski. And that any one you go with will probably be an amazing ski coming off of a 3-4 year old ski

i started skiing the course last year and I have never had any professional instruction or guidance of any kind and i would love to give it a shot. also i am 17 years old.

 

i only get to ski 2 times a week, so all the help and guidance i can get would be awesome. for a suggestion to @mapple maybe for days that people cant ski you supply them with a good dry land work out. i would love that!

As stated, the a-3 is a solid ski. It's so fast cross course and it turns on a rail. I've found that a level head and shoulders into the turn is key for this skis success. I've also found that a quicker edge change (not necessarily earlier) will alow it to drive itself into the turn

Neilly on tricks. Greaaaat stuff!

I guess it was because he was headed away from the start dock.

 

I wouldn't have tried that at a "C" tournament :) let alone the World Champs

Did anyone see who I think was Daniel Odvarko do that SWEET six ball?

 

Visual size this:

As his ski is going around six I notice something funny...

 

Left hand high in the air with handle in hand

Right hand (inside) handle-less! Dragging through the water.

 

This was @-35 I think. Crazy.

Freddy ahh c'mon man I know you have got it

@eleeski although your word on tricking is the best there is on BOS I really do want to have the toe strap, I have always skied on a toe plate with my slalom and the stance on the trick ski with the angled back foot is so foreign to me (at this point) that I really do need something mildly holding my foot in place.

 

My main goal was to see if the masterline toe plate would fit because I could get one for much much cheaper.

Sorry... * from what others have said I get a feeling that it would not offer enough benefits for us In the skiing world to be worth it .... :)

I heard it sucks. If it is rubbed it is destroyed.

The reflex toe plate for their trick ski is over a hundred dollars. I was wondering if any other toe plate (masterline, d3) would fit the reflex. Any opportunity I get to save a little money.. I jump on it.

 

Thanks!

Actually just unwrapped it! Thanks man it looks sweet."! And thanks for the extra! The pants man REALY can

Goodes are great skis. I'm on an A3 now but earlier In the season I was on a 9900 traditional. It rocked.

You could take it as a challenge for your driver to stay in course.

That is sooo awesome!

@OTF could you explain the need for a washer on the opposite side of the attachment? I'm trying to visualize any extra hardware other than where the thing is. Thanks!

I was on their website looking at stuff to fulfill my addiction... And I ran across what looks like a silvretta 500 release but is actually labeled as a "reflex 750 waterski" release. Wonder if there is a difference? Anyone heard anything on it?

I think in a perfect world, a driver at a tournament driver should have no buisiness with their eyes in the mirror watching the skier...

Even if it was unlawful to trick without a vest or ski without an observer, who is out there on your private property to enforce this under law. Honestly... Do what you want on your property

@horton on my offside I tend to just be a sack of failure unless I focus on keeping my upper body "silent" I call this countering because if I didn't I would end up with my shoulders and hips facing the boat. If I can counter my hips heading to my offside I can continue moving outbound effectively like my onside.
