Administrators Horton Posted September 4, 2012 Administrators Share Posted September 4, 2012 I might get the best water. Maybe no one will be watching. If it goes well I will be pumped. If I stink it up it only the very best in the world will be there to see my unsportsmanlike conduct.

jipster43 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 @Razorskier1 brings up a good point! I'm pretty sure I would forget all about the course length and ski right past those exit gates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Wish Posted September 4, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 4, 2012 I was in a rythom at the nationals on my opening pass actually telling myself "calm" in the turns and "just resist" for the lean. Lost count or didnt count and went for ball 7 realized my mistake at wake 1 and stood straight up and had to "s" turn just to make the gates. Boat crew had several comments. Like " ya that 8 ball course is on the other lake." Rest of my passes: "just resist.. calm...one. Just resist...calm...two. Just resist...calm...three........

Baller Than_Bogan Posted September 4, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 4, 2012 Saw a guy stop after 4 (on a regular 6 ball course) one time in a tournament. He just lost track of where he was. Just a round of a class C tournament, but still -- we all felt so bad for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryWilkinson Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 You've probably done enough tourneys to know that most tournament skiers fall on their on-side, so go easy on the on-side turns and more aggressive on the off-side. Then make sure you have 5-6 magnets in your shorts in case you miss the gate! Best of luck John.

klindy Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 @Horton I just realized the Friday "challenges" start at 8am. To a left coaster that means not only are you first off the dock but it'll be 5am for you! That alone could be entertaining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Dont hate on that guy if he is really just going so he can get his website more exposure then quit the real world and further leach off the water ski community/industry via his website and making money."

Baller MrJones Posted September 7, 2012 Baller Share Posted September 7, 2012 My wife was an adjunct instructor at a community college for several years. I found it funny/depressing to read some to the papers she would get back from her students. A lot of the posts on that site remind me of those in regard to grammer and compositon.

bishop8950 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 One of the best things about this site is that I can avoid the crap on other sites. I only check this forum. I don't want to offend MS, but do we have to pollute this site by re-posting garbage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edbrazil Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Sorry I'm not there. But, a long haul from NH. Looking at the event poster and the schedule, I don't see the premier event listed. That is the Womens Bikini Freestyle Slalom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
