Baller_ swbca Posted December 15, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted December 15, 2022 Before I quit skiing in the Mid 80's I occasionally volunteered to man a Safety boat at the National tournaments getting a great view of the LaPoints, Carl Roberge and others. At the time I had never heard of Wade Cox. Later learned of Wade through his role in TWBC.December is a little quiet, so check out this great video of Wade. His technique is consistently near-perfect through every pass. AWESOME !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Minelickskier Posted December 15, 2022 Baller Share Posted December 15, 2022 That was really fun to watch! We still have my wife’s old cdx…that thing is heavy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Spencer_Shultz Posted December 16, 2022 Baller Share Posted December 16, 2022 @swbca thanks for sharing. I was fortunate enough to spend 2 months skiing 2-3x a day with Wade back in 2014. The number of times we did the pointing drill still blows my mind ? It was a fun day when we finally moved to free skiing and linking turns together.

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted December 16, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted December 16, 2022 it's been more than a couple of years now since I've heard the voice of Eddie Roberts, Jr. Nice trip down memory lane, thanks @swbca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted December 16, 2022 Baller Share Posted December 16, 2022 I've got that tape somewhere. Damned if I can find it though! I set my best ever tournament P.B. on the silver, black, and red flame edition of the CDX-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibrain Posted December 16, 2022 Baller Share Posted December 16, 2022 I used to own the Wade video - fun to see this again. On his glide, water is breaking behind his front binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ swbca Posted December 16, 2022 Author Baller_ Share Posted December 16, 2022 @skibrain Regarding water-break on glide. I remember watching some videos of AndyM. At the time of those videos, the water was breaking very far back on his ski, the tip very high, ski darting left and right until he started the turn to the gates. On the Free-Skiing part of this Wade video, he had his weight very far back approaching and through the wake. Haven't seen anything like that lately.
