rodltg2 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I noticed in the recent issue of the Waterskier that kneeboarding still exists. One of the events was slalom. Do they use the same course we do , or is it different. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted November 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2012 Same course, different max speeds. M1-32/OM is 24MPH would be the fastest you would see. Here is the rule book. http://www.amer-kneeboard.org/RULE%20BOOK/2009%20AKA%20Official%20Rules%20%20.pdf The current President is a fellow GA skier, I think he and his son are National record holders and National champions. Trick is also an event, Jump no longer is. Overall is calculated from Slalom and Trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MattP Posted November 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 30, 2012 @richarddoane me to... Apparently they had a good reason for stoping it. I think it may have been the crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Brady Posted November 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 30, 2012 Let's get off of knee boarding. Here is a segue to hopefully get back on track. Exciting, yet better on the knees and back but not the head.....he is already insane! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmvWqyhv1ww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller estrom Posted November 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted November 30, 2012 Back in high school (young and dumb days), me and my buddy figured out how to get him to do a complete 360 circle around the boat on a kneeboard and to continue going. I was the smart one and drove the boat while he was on the board. Took some planning for a specific boat route and he was FLYING on that kneeboard! Ok, I'm done. Back to skiing.

GAJ0004 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 The O'Brien Lowrider.. Best kneeboard of all time. Light weight. It does not hurt when you crash. Unfortunately no more Pro Acqua bindings.. Cinch makes the equivalent now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAJ0004 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have tried kneeboard slalom a couple of times. I let go with my inside hand around the turn. It helps you get a better lean coming off the ball. Crossing the wakes can be done without getting too much air. Similar technique to a slalom ski..

GAJ0004 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If I were doing kneeboard competition I would use my old Kidder Redline Phantom for slalom, and the O'Brien Lowrider for tricks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
