kfennell Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Went from barely running 34 and getting 1.5 at 36 the few times I tried it up to almost always running 34 and running 36 a few times, got 2 at -22 only so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Wim Decree said it would be surprising if I get to deep -22 so I am trying to proove him wrong, changing equipment 19 times and taking this last week off aren't helping though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted July 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2012 Have yet to run a 32 this year....but there is still time. I'm still hoping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller elr Posted July 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ran my first pass in 3.5 yrs yesterday - multiple surgeries. Better than a PB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted July 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2012 It isn't really fair because I was hurt last year so my average was way down. I was running a couple at 32 when healthy the year before and my tournament average this year is 1/2 @35 and one more solid round will move my average to probably 2 @35. I haven't run 35 yet but am feeling better about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rayn Posted July 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2012 Not sure how to answer. My tournament average is up by a buoy(1 tournament last year, 4 this year), however, I was running more 32's out of the boat last year in practice. Then again, I did set a PB on my new A2 first set out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted July 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2012 I gave a plus 1 because that's true for absolute score, but I'm running deeper far more often this year. Got an eye opener today skiing ZO rather than classic. Was fine after 2 passes but almost blew the opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwillygood Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 ran 32 this year! taking a crack at 35, getting about half way there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Roger Posted July 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2012 My best tournament score last year was 4 @ 35. I've run 1 @ 38 in two tournaments this year and got around the 4 ball @ 38 in practice for only the 4th time ever. Working to get a score of 100 (4 @ 38) by the end of the year.

Baller sunvalleylaw Posted July 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2012 I voted +3 or more holy crap as I am just getting back into it, beginning to find some form again, and enjoying the heck out of it after not getting to ski much for many years. I had not been in a course for 10 years so completing any line length is at least 3+. Feels great! The frustration can come later when the re-honeymoon wears off and I need to make more incremental improvements than starting from basically nothing again.

crashman Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 not sure how to answer ball count at slower speeds- I've gone from running a single pass last year at -15 28mph to running all 6 at 30 regularly. More importantly I had another aha moment the other night that really seemed to smooth things out a bit. Now it's time for a week of open water.

Baller ForrestGump Posted July 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2012 Tournament pb is up 3 buoys and practice pb is up 6 buoys from October of 11. Goal is to pick up another 3 buoys on my touranment pb before the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MarkTimm Posted July 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2012 Summer of 2010 couldn't run -22, by September 2011 had run -28 a couple of times. Tuesday of this week I ran 2 @ -35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skier2788 Posted July 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2012 Switched jobs workibg graveyard stuggled with new elite. Went from running 32 90% and 35 10% of the time last year to finally getting back to that point now. Actuallu slowed to 34 and ran 38 so its getting there. Drought here will end the season in three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller slalom frog Posted July 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2012 Finally ran 35 this year for the first time. Ran it a few times at the end of last season for the first time ever. Didn't start trying again this season until a couple of weeks ago. Very happy with getting back to where I left off last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted July 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2012 @slalom frog Just curious as there are a couple of tournament types here that are contemplating the age old question during tournaments to help calm the nerves which is. " Is a frogs bottom water tight?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Roger Posted July 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2012 @thager - after a short conference with my colleages; "Yes, we believe it is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bdecker Posted August 3, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 3, 2012 Torn between +2 and same old crap so I settled with +1. Posted a good tournament score and PB in June 3@38 but have missed more -35's than I'd like to admit since and have only skied the one tourney. Glimmers of hope in the last week. Hopefully the slump will end shortly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
