klindy Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Here's a YouTube video of Carlos Suarez trick skiing well before flips were the rage. I found it in the comments of the recent Waterski Magazine post about the 5 best trick passes ever (10 really I guess). It's unusual to see even one counter-rotated trick during an entire tournament. In this video there are a couple dozen! Pretty awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Nando Posted July 8, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 8, 2014 One of my ski partners tricked quite a bit with Carlos back in the day (Carlos spent a few summers in South Canada). He claims Carlos never used a release- said you have to know how to release yourself by relaxing your rope foot. Anyone know who the second skier in the video is? I have a hunch it's Paul Chapin, but it's not the highest resolution... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klindy Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 @Nando I'm reasonably sure both passes are Carlos. I'm also reasonably sure the second pass isn't Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted July 9, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 9, 2014 I love the reverse toe wake O into the wrap in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Nando Posted July 10, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yup- when viewed on a real screen, not a phone, I can see they're both Carlos. We need a good judge to add scores... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted July 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 11, 2014 Wow! Carlos rocked! I thought I had some funky variations of the tricks. I might have to try some of those. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Wish Posted January 18, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted January 18, 2015 Did I see him flip the rope over his head to get it between his legs?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted January 18, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 18, 2015 @wish I don't think so, definitely inspirational though. I love his quick rtwbb t5f and rtwo t5b combinations. Here's another vintage world champ. Check out the unusual to tw5b combo... I have never seen anyone do that TO! Anyone here ever tried it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted January 18, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 18, 2015 @dchristman Oooo I had forgotten about that reverse wrap in TO. Not sure I have ever seen anyone else ever do that. As for the TW5B I played with that trick in my 20s. Is super fun and super scarie. The wrap in TO is wacky too. I never had the balls to try it.

klindy Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Love it! In this second video of Carlos above he does a wrap in TWO which is super cool and never seen today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted January 19, 2015 Baller Share Posted January 19, 2015 @klindy I did the TWO wrap in back in the 80's, but to have the stability to land that and then do the quick t5b really impresses me... and that quick rtwbb t5f ... super impressive on an old Saucier trick!

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted November 10, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted November 10, 2018 Now that’s a sight I really did not need to see. I was torn between an Awesome since it is really funny and a Dislike since you have just about the ugliest white ass I've seen.

Administrators Horton Posted November 11, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2018 Carlos spend some time at my parents lake back in the early 1970s. I was too young to remember but if you mention his name to my 84 year old mom she is still pissed at him. Apparently he was quite a character. :-) BABE’S ★ California Ski Ranch ★ Connelly ★ Denali ★ Goode ★ Mastering The Art Of Waterskiing HO ★ KDSkis ★ MasterCraft ★ MasterLine ★ PerfSki ★ Radar ★ Reflex ★ SLines ★ Stokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dchristman Posted November 11, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 11, 2018 It's difficult for me to comprehend why anybody would be disturbed by the elegance of the human form in slow motion. It's good I didn't post the Dangling Toe Back Moon Deep :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
