Baller usaski1 Posted May 18, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 18, 2014 taken yesterday at the CAWSC kickoff 3 event... it was howlin' windy with a 20+ tail wind... we jumped anyway... cuz nothin' gets your blood pumpin' like jumpin'! I think the standing skier is Elgin F. Although he did not land any, he has great effort and sprit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Brady Posted May 18, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 18, 2014 The only thing I could think of that takes more balls than jumping off a ramp at a high rate of speed is doing it while on a para ski! Your the man @usaski1! Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MAD11 Posted May 18, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 18, 2014 @usaski1. I swear we need to move that seat back some when I get home. I don't want to see you endo again off the ramp. It scarred my memory for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller usaski1 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted May 18, 2014 @madd11 Did you see the one in in 2009 or so at Aquaplex... Worst Fall Ever... (except for when I broke my ankle on my slalom ski 10 years ago) I came out the front HARD, and didn't jump again for almost 2 years. Or was it the crash at SMRR last summer? That one wasn't as bad, but I sure did a "whoa s&^#!!" coming off the ramp. I thought the trick was leaning forward into the ramp? we can move the studs back a bit, I just wish I was jumping better... 40 ft sucks. But what do I expect when I never practice jump, except in a tourny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted May 19, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 19, 2014 @usaski1 crazy stuff, dude. Look good off the jump, a little worried about where that ski tip is in mid-air! Maybe back one hole on the seat...though I'm certainly no expert. Wicked stuff regardless. Is there any kind of cushion/spring built into the seat set-up for landing? When I lived in Waterloo, IA we did an annual event teaching the spinal cord injured to ski on sit skis. Super enthusiastic group and a great day on the water....we didn't let 'em jump, though!

Baller MAD11 Posted May 19, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 19, 2014 I saw the 2009 crash. was a good one. Agree, it was at least 2 years until you jumped again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller usaski1 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted May 21, 2014 @6balls There is no cushion. I can feel everything, and sometimes I pay for it the next day. I can move the seat back a hole. You gotta be a bit crazy to jump. I didn't for the first 5 or so years that I was competing, but glad I started, as I won the overall for my division at the 2001 Australia worlds. Here's some old vids of me, but they are cool. not me, but This guy can freakin fly! \/ \/ \/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
