Baller Wish Posted July 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted July 14, 2013 If completed correctly, that cold be the perfect dive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted July 14, 2013 Baller Share Posted July 14, 2013 Could be a new trick to throw at the end of a run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 @SkiJay After I quit laughing at that one, I realize that could have been painful. How in the world did you get that shot? If that were me, I would be blowing up that picture and hanging it in my office!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiJay Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 @Brady You are a nut, and I'd LOVE to see what you've got hanging in your office! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted July 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted July 15, 2013 @Wish, I turned one of those into a dive and stuck my right arm through the handle. Diving and waterskiing do not mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Wish Posted July 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted July 15, 2013 No they do not! My other thought was : new style of fishing called Stick and Grab. Apparently you caught a very small fish. Better luck next time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted July 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted July 15, 2013 @wish and @skijay - maybe it was fin depth. Too much fin depth got caught on the fin of the fish. Probably easier to change your fin @skijay than to change that fish's fin. Though, they both might have changed a bit in the proccess. Great picture - hope it didn't hurt too bad! Back on the water today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiJay Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 @Skoot1123 I managed to ski a little more that day, but not since. My neck and back are exacting their revenge, but nothing serious. @ski6jones I've always liked your profile picture so much, I thought I'd try to recreate it. Clearly you beat me out on style points. At least one of your elbows is still pinned to your vest, right where it should be at this point beyond the second wake. You also get maximum determination points for not tossing the handle like a little girl, and you never stopped spotting your landing. Like a woose, I tossed my handle and curled up into a little ball so I could kiss my ass goodbye =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted July 15, 2013 Baller Share Posted July 15, 2013 Nice effort on recreating the moment. On the plus side you have much more tip in the water making for increased stopping force on the ski. Nice touch! Not sure if mine was pre or post injury, but now I try keep the handle until the boat takes it from me. At least that way I know where the handle is.
