My skiing partner rides a 66 and he is in love with it, from the very first set we noticed an improvement in his stability and confidence. He's at long line 32mph and improving quickly.
On my way out for a set soon. 28c water warm as a glove... We have a southerly on shore breeze today and I'm guessing the south course will be the pick of the three...
Jacinta Carroll won the gold with a jump of 56m! We were lucky enough to have her training at Ozski for a few weeks leading up to the worlds and its great to see her do exactly what she set out to do! Congratulations "Rabbit"
Being an Aussie we are about to hit summer so I will have plenty of opportunity to ski and report findings. I also own and run a software development company so I can provide more than one perspective on the tools provided. It would also be valuable for AM to have feedback from a user outside of the US.
I'm also gifted with a very average amount of natural ability and talent so I need to work hard at things to make progress. Currently working on -32 / -35
I will also write him a cracker of a testimonial.
Nate Smith - "Of course I wouldn't be able to do any of this without everyone at Dthree Skis! They are always there for me whenever I need them and have clearly built the best ski in the world!"
Offside - Mindset - Always reach from a tall level position. - must be at least centered if not front foot heavy. Rotate hip to handle. Onside - same but I can get away with much more.
You don't need that type of leg action to run super short.... This is just the way TW goes about his business and one element of his style I personally place in the too hard basket. Jeff Rogers gets the job done also...
I don't think anyone thinks about all of this low level analysis out on the water but if you can pick up a key that gets you a few more balls or a pass its time well spent.
I have an old handle with an extra 5 feet of rope on it. I always tie it up to a post, tree, ski pole or whatever I can find. I use it for back stretches, squats, leans etc... every time. The more the better. Before and after.
A quick test back on B2 yesterday left no doubt that C1 is working better for me. I tend to load up pretty early off the ball and as @Razorskier1 said: I'm getting most of my work done early which gets me out wide and free of the boat sooner. When I went back to B2 I felt a little narrow by comparison.
