Baller thager Posted October 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 4, 2014 Thanks @Wish Actually kind of fun in Italian too. Weird seeing people and skis from my childhood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted October 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 4, 2014 Wow. What a valuable piece of history. Something else seeing people from 37 years ago. For a link on the placements, see: http://www.iwsf.com/history/displayMedals.php?year=1977&title=World+Championships&division=Water+Skiing Camille 3rd in tricks! Boy, that is a shocker. And, showing her doing reverse toes. Maybe even more astounding is Mike Hazelwood 2nd in tricks and not far off the winning score. Appears that both MasterCraft and Correct Craft pulled the event. Note the SL buoys, which appear enormous compared to what they are now. The Waterski Hall of Fame should be given this video, if they don't have it already. Good size crowd there. The US Team people start to appear around the 5 minute mark. Those jump skis sure look tiny, compared to current designs. That site is what formerly was Mussolini's seaplane base, called Idroscalo. Looks like it had significant backwash. For more information about this and other World Championships, see: http://www.iwsf.com/history/facts.htm In the team overall, Venezuela apparently gave the US some good competition, thanks to their tricking skills. Thanks to @wish for the posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DanE Posted October 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted October 4, 2014 Idroscalo is the venue for 2015 worlds, on a side note that commentary is in french. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
