Baller Steven_Haines Posted June 26, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 26, 2012 my vote for the ex pro category would be Mapple 1st, then Rodgers out of sheer tenacity. As for the Big Dawgs, it seems that SkiDawg is on a tear already this year. Best of luck to all!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Razorskier1 Posted June 26, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 26, 2012 I think Rodgers is going to get it, but AM might beat him to the punch. Seems that any one of a number of BD skiers could punch it on a particularly good day. It is always difficult to handicap. From experience as I've worked down the line I know that there is a big difference between getting 3-4 at your toughest pass and making it out the end gates.

Baller Steven_Haines Posted June 26, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted June 26, 2012 Razor, youre right! It definitely takes a certain mental awareness, toughness and confidence to take it to the next level. It seems to me (but I don't know squat! Lol) that there's a lot of momentum out there right now with some REAL talent looking to up the ante. The mark has been there at -41 for a while now with a number of guys chiseling at it. I think it's going down soon! KeownFILMS, Come on man! Spill the beens! I know you're holding back! Ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeownFILMS Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Nope, ha. Any one of those guys could do it at any given tournament, but my money would be on Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Than_Bogan Posted June 26, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 26, 2012 I suppose if forced to lay down money I'd go with Rodgers (only because I'm not quite certain when Mapple will actually compete). But my GUT is telling me it's going to be our very own skidawg!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Dirt Posted June 26, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'm with Steven and Than on this one. Skidawg is looking like the best bet at this point. He just jumped into #1 position on the M3 ranking list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jipster43 Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Andy already run 41 in practice? I thought I read somewhere that Nate has run it at 34mph in practice too. Has Jeff ever run it? I realize all the information I'm working off of may be wildly incorrect.

Baller MattP Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 @jipster43 Yes. Never heard that. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jipster43 Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 @MattP I don't have the recall that I once had, but I read on here over the winter that Nate had gotten three or four balls at 43 off (36mph) and I think along with that rumor it was mentioned that he ran 43 at 34mph. These were all unsubstantiated rumors however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 There are a few Big Dawgs who have run it in practice. Chad has done it in practice at Cypress. Ward has in Shreveport, also. I'm guessing there's a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted June 28, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted June 28, 2012 Sking on Robin lake before the Masters in 08 Andy came out on a sixam 2point silver top with Lester driving, my self in the judges seat. Andy ran up the line including a full pass at 41 on a Masters rope. Pretty impressive as Andy was rather heavy at that time and really not skiing a lot and on Robin lake. Provided Andy decides to really ski this year I would not bet against him running 41 and pretty deep into 43 @55K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 I thought Andy went to Rathbun's for a week a few years ago and that Gordon noted the only pass he missed ALL week was 43. Could be full-0-baloney but that's what memory says. If Andy went after tourney skiing, I would be willing to wager real dollars that he gets through 41 at 34.

Baller brody Posted June 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 29, 2012 my buddy was in the boat at gordons when andy ran 41, seems to me he said he ran 3 or 4 at 43. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klindy Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'd say Kelvin has a good chance of broadcasting the first full pass this weekend! Lots of guys capable of doing it in one location at a great place to slalom. I'd predict it goes down this weekend and one of the South Central "local guys" does it.

Baller skibug Posted June 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 29, 2012 Not to be contradictory; but, if the water is really hot...I don't see it happening this weekend. It is hard to ski in soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted June 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 29, 2012 That one ball at 41 was on the money, damn he makes skiing look easy. @skibug, The water at Cypress isnt all that hot since they have been pumping groundwater into it this week. A few od these boys in the dirty south are skiing really wellright now. I'd love to see a record go down this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ The_MS Posted July 3, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted July 3, 2012 The DR. did it in practice. Get a 6 foot handle, invite Horton to your site to see the new ski and run 41. Sounds like a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Alvin_Neff Posted July 6, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 6, 2012 Andy will be the first to do it! I have seen him run 41off more than 3 times from the boat. Zero Off, no weaving, and went to 4 ball at 43off. He will qualify for the Big Dawg finals while skiing this weekend in France. It is going to be fun to watch him ski in the finals under the lights.
