markchilcutt Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 couldnt have asked for a better year!!! Somehow with a ton of support/coaching and a great ski partner i went from 1@35 last year to 5@35 in a tournament!!! So stoked with slalom skiing and totally loving my Radar Strada!!! @horton thanks for running and maintaining a great web site for ski geeks like me!!!

Baller Than_Bogan Posted August 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2012 Now THAT is awesome! Deep -35 is soo much harder than just getting a little into it, and of course even at very short lines once you get to 5 you know it's possible you can run it. Got enough tournament season left to maybe run it this year?? If not, next year for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted August 28, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted August 28, 2012 at the 5 ball, you're only 1 turn away.....good skiing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted August 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2012 @markchilcutt - GREAT JOB!! That is awesome. I'd love to be able to get to 35 off sometime. In fact, some friends of ours monogrammed a cooler with 35 Off on it and gave it to us as a gift. If it wasn't for some of the comments on here, I'm not sure I'd be able to get there....appreciate the great help on this site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted August 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2012 Nice skiing, Mark. PB's are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GAJ0004 Posted August 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2012 Way to go Mark!. I have tied my PB in a tournament 2 times this year 5@32 off. I have tied my personal best in practice 3@35off 6 times. I have 1 more tournament before the season is over. The Dave's Pond Labor day 3 event. Skiing in slalom and tricks. I hope to set two PB's on saturday.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Marco Posted August 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2012 Congrats Mark! PB's are awesome! You are one turn away from getting the purple fever. Keep up the good work. I finally set a new one this weekend as well, after 5 years of tying my old one. I added a full buoy, and could have added 1-1/2 if I decided to hang onto a big slack hit heading to 4 ball. Since I recently recovered from shoulder surgery, I calmly let go of the rope at the wake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markchilcutt Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Thanks a bunch guys!!!! @chef23 best of luck next weekend kill it!! @GAJ0004 Tear it up on saturday just think wide on the boat and early edge change that is what got me to 5@35 didnt think my ski was getting outside of 1 ball but it made and i ended up with the tightest line yet at -35 1 ball!! @marco congrats right back at ya on your great skiing and yeah i am stoked to start tapping into some purple!!! Good call on letting go its not worth a re injury of that shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted August 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2012 nice skiing @marchilcutt! I was explaining to a friend that tournament skiing is really odd. One time out of ten you come home with a smile because you ran a PB. The rest of time . . . well at least you had fun with friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klundell Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 @markchilcutt great skiing man! Wish I was there to witness! I think you need to come up to Gibert Lake with us in ID next weekend and run it! If you can run 5@sunten you can run 6 at Gilbert piece of cake!

Baller jipster43 Posted August 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks @markchilcutt ! I have PB'd in the last three tournaments, so I've been pretty stoked. But I'm still working on 28 off - a long ways from cleaning 35! This summer has been a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
