Baller 6balls Posted May 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2014 4th ski all in drysuit, first time in buoys, ran a bunch of stiff head/tailwind 28 off's. Felt good and was a lot of fun. See neurosurgeon again on Wed to make final surgical plans so trying to get in a little safe fun before losing most if not all of the season to recovery.

Baller perkinsperkins Posted May 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2014 Broke my ankle Wednesday on my 10th set of 2014. Not a great start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jipster43 Posted May 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2014 @perkinsperkins I did the same thing on my third pass last year. I was back at it by the beginning of July. I hope you have the same speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller usaski1 Posted May 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2014 Been hitting it up pretty good here at Aquaplex. pretty solidly in to 3x a week wind/weather permitting. yesterday made 4@26.7.. not to bad a start for mid-ish may. hope to be running the pass occasionally by end of month. I feel like I'm getting back in to the swing of things after a bad, as in "not good" winter! The hardest part is my mind.. the confidence is not there yet across the wakes. Oooh! my brain says "yes! its ski time!" but when I get to the wakes I still kinda puss out. First tournament is next weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GOODESkier Posted May 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2014 Almost ran a second 38 of the season today...... gonna blame it on river current. 175,000 cubic feet per second of river flow today............ although our course is out of the main flow, it still get a little squirrel-ly..... I KNOW I OWN 35, have to take a personal loan to get more 38's and am almost ready to take out the mortgage on getting down the line in 39.5.............

Baller Razorskier1 Posted May 14, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 14, 2014 Well -- May 14 and just had my 4th day in the course, along with about 4 days of open water skiing. Most years I do about 2 weeks of open water, then hit the course and run for a week at 28 off, then 32 for a week, then start looking at 35s again. This year I don't have that luxury given the late start. Today ran two sets. First set 28, 28, and six 32s. Second set 32, 32, 35, 32, 35, and three more 32s to finish off the morning. All felt surprisingly good, although I need to get higher on the boat for the 35 turn in. Will probably hold off on looking at 38 until I have a dozen or so 35s under my belt. Probably puts me on target for next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted May 15, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 15, 2014 Shoulder still bothering me so still not skiing. I am a little depressed about it. Cortisone shot helped a little but not everywhere. It was beautiful over the weekend, Monday and today and all days would have been great to ski. I am going to try to get the boat in as my son has been asking to ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted May 15, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 15, 2014 Still not skiing. Between the weather and my wife (driver) winding up on crutches after the Hit and Run 5K, it is not looking good this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDET Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Not skiing for awhile, had my rotator cuff fixed last week . @Dr says mid August:( @Chef23 I had a cortisone shot over the winter, it helped if I didn't do anything. I went back to playing hockey a knew something wasn't. (Slap shot) Decided to get it over with and get it fixed. Now I'll get to see if my boys have been paying attention when I put the lift and boat in...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted May 15, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 15, 2014 @TDET I have to admit you are not encouraging. I have a follow up on 6/2. In the meantime I am seeing a physical therapist who thinks they can help. After the first treatment I am not feeling better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDET Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 @Chef23 PT did help, even with all the damage I had. Dr said I should have the surgery sooner rather than later Because of the consent pain I was having. So I did it. I should be able to get back to skiing end of July or August . I had the surgery done on 5/6 and recovery is NO fun. Should have put the boat in before the surgery, at lest I could have looked at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted May 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 24, 2014 Trying to get some in before neck surgery on the 5th torches my season. Free skied twice this week, tonight saw course for the 3rd time. The first two times in the course a few weeks ago ran nothing but 28's. Tonight ran two 28's and four 32's first set. Second set 28, four 32's and a clean 35. What a riot...skiing rocks! Now...where's my prednisone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashman Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Finally got the boat on the lift and buoys in the water waiting on me after a crappy day at work. Life is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ozski Posted May 24, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted May 24, 2014 Back into it today after a couple of weeks rest... some good some bad. Ran my first two passes in the heater top before I realized I did not have my jacket on! Back to the dock to start again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
