Chef23 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 That ski looks wider than standard in the front. I love watching Parrish ski. He is LFF like I am and while I am not 6'5" he makes everything look simple from a technique standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted May 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 3, 2012 Has Parrish always been a rear toe looper....I didn't think he was. He is in that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorskier1 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Hadn't noticed the toe loop -- nice catch. Perhaps skiing with Andy he's been converted to the cult of TL (my preferred ski method). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef23 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I think Parrish has dabbled with a rear boot I seem to remember him in a Wiley rear at one point but I recall him primarily as a looper. Out of the top skiers how many are loopers right now. I know Asher and Desgaspari are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onside135 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 @Chef23...This video had me wondering the same thing... Andy Mapple Will Asher T-Gas Nate Smith Chris Parrish (apparently..now) I'm sure there are some more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ski4xtc Posted May 3, 2012 Members Share Posted May 3, 2012 What I find interesting is that his hands are right on top of each other as he is pulling out for the gate. Once he initiates his turn in for the gate, he slides his left hand over to the other side of the handle. I first noticed this on the webcast at Moomba but could not see it as well as on this video. Any ideas of why he does this or the benefit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted May 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 3, 2012 Parrish set his world record with a rear Wiley. He has switched to a toe loop recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colo_skier Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 @ski4xtc Also notice that on his pull out he has the handle vertical and his hands are above the center of the handle. Does anybody else hold the handle vertical on their pullout? Not sure if I am seeing it right but he does not seem to change the attitude of his shoulders to the boat once he counters for the buoy goes through the turn and is then releasing for the next buoy. As always he makes it look so effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted May 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 3, 2012 First thing I noticed is that ski looks wide as hell in the forebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntq206 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Such an amazing skier. Just watch his backwards pass, and he somehow maintains so much angle out of the ball without sticking the rear tip in and catching a digger. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted May 5, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted May 5, 2012 Mapple spent a long time working on that backwards design Support BallOfSpray by supporting the companies that support BallOfSpray California Ski Ranch ☆ Connelly ☆ Denali ☆ Eden Lake ☆ Goode ☆ HO Syndicate ☆MasterCraft ☆ Masterline ☆ Pentalago ☆ Performance Ski and Surf ☆ Reflex ☆ Radar ☆ Rodics OffCourse ☆ S Lines ☆ Stokes About Horton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Roger Posted May 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 7, 2012 I got to both see Parrish from the boat (boat judge) and drive a round for him this weekend. I must say, the timing on when he moves the hand down on the handle is interesting as it is in the middle of the rotation for the gate just before he loads the line. What a treat to see first hand! While he didn't run a 41 this weekend (I believe the scores were 3.5, 3.5, and 4.0 all at 41), it's obvious he's getting more and more confortable on the new ski and will be running them regularly. Every set, he looked as though he would run the pass. I'm sure at least one person was videoing from shore (no boat camera), so I hope to see that surface soon.
