Baller cragginshred Posted June 1, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 1, 2014 I notice both from the Nicole Arthur video and watching Maple ski they do this realese the handle pre turn failry low then almost a cork screw motion twist and reach up as the boat takes the handle. This seems to set up a nice snap in the ski while it comes back around. Is this unique to Andy, is there a term for it and how many of you do this as a hard wired method in your pass?

Baller cragginshred Posted June 2, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted June 2, 2014 @gregy thank you, great thread! Are you still using this technique? If so at what line lengths do you find it more useful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted June 2, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 2, 2014 Don't search for the thread. It's worthless to try and attempt this at your level. Concentrate on the position from the hookup to the top of the arc. Perfect that and the reach and turn takes care of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 2, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2014 I have played with Posting. It will give you a big turn but like @ShaneH says you better have some skills first.

Baller gregy Posted June 2, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 2, 2014 @cragginshred I'm still rehabing from knee surgery so its been so long since I've skied that I don't remember what I was doing, lol. I did try that for a few weeks though and then stop focusing on it. Had bigger things to work on. I'm hoping to do some free skiing Tuesday, see how it goes.

Baller Ed_Johnson Posted June 2, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 2, 2014 The virtue of posting allows the ski to continue on an outbound trajectory to the apex without a load from the boat causing the ski to arc inwards. Your really allowing the Ski to take the handle out to maintain a tight line instead of the boat..It is a very advanced maneuver and comes into play at 35 off and shorter. If you are skilled enough you can do it on a 32 off opener, but don't need to to run the pass..I totally concur with the advice Shane gave you.
