I have tried the Lee trick ski. It is awesome!

A Swede Johan did run 34@38 on the Theory.... It is a great ski... Hope the new is also great.

Skimarine.se Froggy.se 1E Is about 10 sek

Drysuit? Better than semidry when it is really cold....

Bump this tread!

What lenght are the first training loops? I shortend for the first time in there years today. Ran 30 mph 15 off then 19 off then 20.5 off and finally 22 off (fall before 6...) It was fun!

Is there any toe flip tricks? Maybe still to be invented?!?

Trying to learn trick skiing ( … at my age =0/ ) It is time to start to learn offside Back Wrap. Grateful for some learning steps Background. My tricks are now: -SS, R -Back-Front, R -O reverse O (sometimes). -Wake 180 Back wrap to Front. -Wake 180 Front to Back Wrap. I can ski Back Wrap and regular Back as long as I want. Crossing wakes in back position are far from stable but slowly getting better. Can prepare for a wrapped WO but not make the trick. It is a bit hard to ski in that position a longer time. Try to glide over the wake without air and unwrap. Training on Step over Line. Can easily lift the leg over the rope but get stuck in SS position and I am also bending my waist and fall. It is hard to find a release person for Toes but I can now put on the harness and ski as long as I want. When I turn back I bend my waist and fall. When I train I normally perform all my safe tricks a few times and then my harder tricks. In the end I try a few wrapped WO or Steps.

My 2 cents. I still struggle to run 34 so this is more like a question. For me the fun starts at 31mph or 32. 30 is more heavy on my body. Thoughts?

Use contacts. I loose one or so per season. For me it is a small problem and a low cost.

It seems to demens. For some it is shorter then 23 meters. For me it is shorter then 18.25 meters. For some it is shorter then distance to boies (11,5 meters). I have not heared anything else.

Congrats to Manon. @UWSkier I didn't know that Napoleon was a famus waterskier? ;) ;)

Start on one ski. With two the risk for splits are common and painfull. See my trick thread with beginer trick ski instruction videos. Best luck and have fun.

Warm up. At least twice. :) Have fun. Don not give up.

Fwiw. Johan Evferström ran 38off @36 on the old orange fiberglass Senate...

What is the tolerance for a boie? How deep can it float? Diameter?

Saw a guy ski in italy a few yers ago. He have had a long break from skiing but was a top skier. He did a great amount of diffret flips the first run but complained about not getting enough hight. At the dock i saw that the ski was totally broken between the bindings.... He then run some slalom 36@39 off. At the dock he told us the ski behavied a bit different. The wing was loos the front screw was missing. The fin was also bent and loose... What a skier! But he might benefit from checking the material?

Thanks All! @eleski. Thanks Eric. Yes, that might be the best option. @ Bruce_Butterfield. It was almost brand new (bought it from a fellow at our ski club) @thager. I store the gear in my basement during off season. Normal basement temperature (Dark. No Ozon, type 65F). We do not have much sun in Sweden and I keep them out of the sun so they are exposed to very little UV degradation. @mmosley. I will look into the Fluid Motion shells when I get the opportunity. Will the shell fit into the Reflex 500 binding (Front, I can make a new heel block)? @jmoski. I will look into the Syndicate shells when I get the opportunity. Will the shell fit into the Reflex 500 binding (Front, I can make a new heel block)?

I use a standard black Reflex binding on my Trick ski. Bought it used (only 3 Slalom runs) so it was in reality 'new'. It has now been used for 3 years, approx. 50 runs (beginner) After 10 runs the shell plastic broke at the top buckle ‘pop nut’ It looked like the manufacturer used to high pressure mounting the buckle. I added some plastic and problem was solved. Now the top on the back of the shell has broken. It looks like a bad molding with some dirt/defect in the plastic. Will try to add more plastic to strengthen the boot. I like the boot but I am concerned about the quality. Is there any more durable shells that can replace the Reflex shell? Any advice on even better trick ski bindings?

Gravon in France use old car tyres. They put them together with ropes. Standing up. Half tyre separated. Minimum 20 wide. The boat waves add some air to keep them floating. A loooot of tyres. They told me they have now about 20 000 tyres. It really works well. I do not think it is suitable for the environment....

In Stockholm we start normally 2 weeks after the ice is gone to avoid the engine to freeze. Guess that wll be late April this year.

I would guess: The 'both feets in' welcro is the safest system for rotation falls. Dbl boots are maybe just slighetly safer than rtp for rotation falls as well. Any system has pros and cons. Maybe a poll on the subject?

@eleeski How about this Dollar? Suites you skis perfect.

@Jordan Thanks.

@skiinxs What is a rip rap?
