bogboy Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Oh, I almost forgot. Michelle smith from the speed channel may have waterskied. There is a similarity between carving turns on two wheels, and on a waterski. I think that mrs. Bog boy would agree, as she also rides her own motorcycle.

Baller MISkier Posted December 24, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 24, 2020 I was watching a documentary this week on on Disney+ called "The Real Right Stuff". It's archival footage, interviews, news features, etc. about the original Mercury 7 astronauts and is narrated by Tom Wolfe (who wrote "The Right Stuff"). There are a couple of scenes with the astronauts water skiing. I'd have to go back and look at which ones skied, but at least Alan Shepard and John Glenn did. There was also an interview portion in the film with Alan Shepard where he mentions his interest and enjoyment in water skiing. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller ski4xtc Posted December 26, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 26, 2020 Mike Doleac who played in the NBA is a water skier. He skied at our lake a few years back. As I recall, he bought a CC 200 from one of our lake owners and even bought a summer membership at SunTen but I do not believe he used it. He played in college for the University of Utah and played in the NCAA finals in the late 90's. He was drafted 12th in the first round of the draft. After he retired from the NBA he moved back to Utah. Last I heard he was teaching physics and was the basketball coach at Park City High School. I have heard that he water skis on the local mountain lakes with his 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark is with the major Australian TV network. Mark at one time was a open level 3 eventer. I worked with him many a Sunday morning on the yarra doing the sunrise Sunday morning show before the moomba events. Remember pulling him off the dock on a trick ski doing a lead-in.

Members HSL Posted December 29, 2020 Members Share Posted December 29, 2020 Jamie Whincup. Maybe I'm mis-remembering this and some of the Ozzie ballers on BOS can add to this, but I remember Jamie Whincup skiing in a slalom course for the first time in Korowa, NSW at a site just off the Murray River and running 22off. This was in the early 2000s and was hard to believe. At the time, Jamie was maybe 19 and had just been signed to race the V8 Supercars in Australia. Since then, he's had 122 V8 Supercar wins and won the Drivers' Championship 7 times. Proof that race drivers are indeed real athletes. Downunder, Jamie is quite well known admired.
