GOODESkier

I have a LIKE BRAND NEW Goode Nano Twist - 66" Mid Ride - Left Foot Forward - 208 AMP. It currently has inter-loc on it for the powershell bindings. HOWEVER, I am willing to have GOODE put the inserts in it (they can do that now, just like the NAno ONE). If interested, I can either ship the ski as is, or send to GOODE and get the inserts in and then GOODE could mail to you. I would take care of the shipping if you are interested. $1250 shipped to your door (USA only...... unless in BC Canada, then maybe we can talk....)

I have an extra brand new Proline 10 Section Rope. Retails for $54. Thinking $40 sounds fair. Anyone interested?

@Razorskier1, I plan to try your visuals next time out. I changed my gate in August and got about a line length out of the change. It was basically the opposite of everything my local buddies had been working on. That change made me more controlled and slower into ball one. I am able to run my 35' OFF consistantly and just started trying to get through a 38' OFF pass......... I like the idea of watching the 55 meter ball disappear. I like the visual of keeping my eyes focussed on the gate and ball one. Now combine all this, and I have my 1 thing to work on in the spring!

1. Follow the boat 2. Smile from ear to ear 3. Forget that non-ethanol premium fuel cost $4.65 this past summer 4. Take it one turn at a time 5. Find your ski buddies and gang up on posting as many new PB's as possible 6. Ski tournaments for fun, and appreciate everyones best moments/wins 7. Make skiing fun for the family (especial your children-my son loves his rc boat-3 year old) 8. Focus on your strengths more than your weaknesses 9. Teach someone new to ski the course every year 10. Always say thanks to the boat crew and give your wife a kiss for being the best driver ever!

Dave said he turns out at about a boat length before the 55 meters no matter what his rope length. Think that has to do with the added speed of shorter lines. I have been trying to lead out at the same time every rope length and just edging a little earlier (lead with the hips) as the line gets shorter.

Since the GOODE Nano ONE has inserts for bindings....... a new hard shell that mounts to the ski with hardware might be it........

Didn't read every comment here, but when I skied with Dave Miller this summer, he helped me transition to "his" gate style (what is mostly being described here). He said it like this....., "If I ski a pass @22' OFF and turned in at "point A" and then ski a pass at 41' OFF and turned in at the same "point A", I would miss the gate by about 20 feet........... In his view, as the line gets shorter, he initaites his turn in earlier. For me, I initiate my turn at 22' OFF when the gate hits the windshield of the boat. I keep moving earlier and earlier up through 38' OFF where the point of initiation is atleast a boat length before the windshield. I had always thought of it the other way,and always had way too much speed at ball one. This lighter on the line feel is the way to get shorter, in my mind. Dave Miller is a GREAT skier and a GREAT all around guy, willing to help any level of skier. I picked up 2 PB's that day and a couple more though the end of the season. I am excited to hit the water skiing even better in the Spring!
