Baller ballsohard Posted June 14, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 14, 2019 Today at the Radar nation day at McClintock's ski school while skiing in windy conditions I had my first ever pass where I got through the first five buoys early but was unable to get my ski around 6 ball. At the end of the lake while I was chilling in the water I realized that for the first time in my life I have scored a "Rico"! @rico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BlueSki Posted June 15, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2019 My son Rico’d a new practice PB this morning. Doesn’t count, but I am still not sure if I should be happy or disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted June 15, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted June 15, 2019 Both of my tournament PBs (36 mph and 34 mph) are ricos. One was just set last year. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller bishop8950 Posted June 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted June 16, 2019 We had a fun tournament yesterday with a mulligan. I scored a Rico off the dock and backed it up with another Rico. It’s a very Dissatisfying score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rico Posted July 14, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 14, 2019 I’m shocked, @horton is the one who taught me that when you know you are not going get to 6, turn 5, then stand up, and DO NOT get back to the wake for a full buoy score. Come up with an intelligent thing to swear at 6 ball as it is fading away, then avoid eye contact with the crowd when you get back to the dock.

Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted July 15, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted July 15, 2019 The score sheet you attached in the other thread said 1.5. Do people just like to give you extra buoys!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Cam Posted July 15, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 15, 2019 20 year old Arron Davies scored a double Rico at the Mapple Pro Am this weekend, but don't think he was too disappointed with two scores of 5 @ 39.5 and a PB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted July 16, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted July 16, 2019 @"Keith Menard" Pay no attention to this nonsense. Every PB is completely awesome!!! That said, there is something to learn there. At the end of a pass like that you can stay leveraged against the boat all the way to 6. Actually I'd say you're anticipating the turn into 2/4/6 the entire way, but ESPECIALLY into 6 you shouldn't worry about getting the turn started because there isn't a 7-ball to get to! Stay on it and get the hell out there!! :) Throw the ski out there only at the very last moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jimbrake Posted July 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 16, 2019 The first time I qualified for nationals was in '91 (for the '92 nats) back in the EP days. Mens II EP at that time was 5 @ 35 off @ 36 mph. I got it and was psyched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted August 30, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted August 30, 2021 It took a little longer than I planned, but I finally got rid of my second Rico tournament PB. It’s been replaced with 1/2 buoy at 32 off and 36 mph. New problem: both of the tournament PBs are 1/2 buoy at the next line length. I have to say that also feels somewhat lacking - to not even get the next full buoy. Have to work on that. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.
