Administrators Horton Posted September 29, 2011 Administrators Share Posted September 29, 2011 I am so confused about what I am going to write about this ski. As I settle in on it I like it more and more. I tied my all time practice PB today at Drew Ross's lake.

Baller MrJones Posted September 30, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 30, 2011 Possibility #1. The ski is great. Possibility #2. You received good coaching. Possibility #3. You were afraid his daughter would soon be beating you and were shamed into the PB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dirt Posted September 30, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 30, 2011 Don't get too excited. It is easy to ski in Florida. Just to be clear, I was giving Horton a hard time as usual. Great skiing. 3 @ 39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted September 30, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted September 30, 2011 The lake is unreal. Bindings Strada. Mostly afraid of being schooled by Drew's little girl.

Baller tru-jack Posted September 30, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 30, 2011 that brings up a good idea though, how about a baller 'roadtrip' to Drew's place this February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted September 30, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 30, 2011 Horton, You should go ski at Doug Ross's lake (Lake Roper in Winter Garden) if you can Drew to hook you up. The new Big Dawg Champ Kyle Tate, Russel Gay (Masterline owner), and Sammy Duvall all live on that lake. That would be some good BOS exposure.

Baller_ The_MS Posted October 7, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted October 7, 2011 The brand new 67 inch. Vs on the bottom and Bamboo top. Stock numbers. Got the ski from a great skier (58k) that was riding it deeper and shorter than stock. He liked it but thought it was not very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted October 7, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted October 7, 2011 Got to start at stock. Go a little shallow and bindings maybe a touch forward. Fin too deep and the off side does not finish (stock is too deep for me). Bindings back and it is a full on rodeo at the ball.

Baller skidawg Posted October 10, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 10, 2011 Yes, I rode it and now it doesn't know how to act. I do know why MS only runs one out of every 20 38's he tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to say more? If I was not a bone head I would have moved the tournament PB by 3 + more balls.

Baller 6balls Posted October 11, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 11, 2011 OK, still nice...and I completely understand being in great shape at 4 ball on that pass in a tourney and blowing it! Good that you upped the PB and if you reset practice PB as well you must be running 38 on it. Maybe a ski to ride for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted October 11, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted October 11, 2011 @MS I hate to agree with you. HO, D3, Goode and Radar seem be the only factories that really get fin boxes right.

Baller jipster43 Posted October 11, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 11, 2011 I spend so much time worrying about & babying my Elite's fin 'cause adjusting the bugger is a total nightmare. If I worked at O'brien, that would be improvement I would make. It bums me out that the Connelly fin box stinks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jipster43 Posted October 12, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2011 Thanks Matt! I saw that, but I'm afraid that do-hicky may require too much time and gumption on my part to make it a reality. But on second look I may search out a local machine shop and see if it is something they might bother with. It would certainly be cool to fix the fin box problem.

Baller skibug Posted October 12, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2011 I don't think I ever put the design drawings up there for the add on fin adjuster. I will do that today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
