    that was going to be my only real question to you was who decides and how do they, on who can be a coach type deal.

    BOS coaching (pretty simple) can be pronounced boss

    best advice i can give, is despite what everyone says, take one thing, and focus on just that to start, then pick another if you are trying to do 3-4 things different you will not fix it. I would def start with a wider gate however to work on being early to 1 ball, then continue to try to be as early to each buoy as you can. Once you get the gate down, move to the next item to fix..ect..ect

    I have a custom reflex, I have a Wiley that has no front horse shoe that I really like, a 2013 HO Xmax they do the hovercraft in 65-67-69 (my sizing might be off) But even if you did a 65 almost anyone can ride it and its a fun ski to just mess around on as well.

    im 6'8 with a 17 shoe (I did not suck at basketball) however the HO Xmax was a good fit back in the day for my foot, which would be the Stance 110/130 now, that and a hovercraft is all you need!

    I cant wait to see the jump one, I believe..could be wrong however the only person with more masters wins than my dad is Freddy (single event)

    if you are looking to the buoy thats where you go, with a boat pulling you down course you will never be early. he should be looking before the buoy thats an easy way to help you to ski early.

    ski on rough days, and just suck it up when they are there pretty much. Nothing else to do.

    My dad used to only ski 4 passes max when really training... As for Volume, for his biking career he would ride at least 200 Miles a week.
  11. mike_mapple
    Ask him where he is looking when he turns into one ball. if he says at the buoy that is the first thing to fix.

    Your best bet is not asking that way, supporting the small people in the industry or those people tend to disappear.

    as Andy always said, if your going to free ski you should use the whole rope, get used to making your own speed to create your width, and learn to control the rope.

    Id love to see that same skier, same pass with a normal handle just to compare form / how the rope reacts, not that it really makes a difference, thats just my thoughts.

    You would be amazed the amount of skiers that have never heard of the site.

    I have a few lol, one is the limited blue and silver, still in plastic, but it will never get skied on, and then I have a non graphic one that was never skied, however I am not sure if it is a completed one, or a test, it just sits with some of my other ones. I want to host an old ski tournament, where all the skis have to be from pre 2012 i think could be fun, but the logistics of finding and making sure they are all safe to ski on is a nightmare in itself.

    I have plenty of other watches, but I refuse to wear some of the ones that were left to me, they are worth to much that if it got stolen I couldnt afford to replace them. I like my apple watch for being able to leave my phone anywhere and then I just use my watch. If Im going out for dinner somewhere nice, I have a few good choices beside an apple watch lol

    im that guy that flips if I leave the house without mine, it isnt for fitness tracking as much, I do use it to track the time frame on my fitness / heartrate sometimes, but I got so used to wearing it, even if i walk out to the mailbox, I put it on, only to take it off when I walk right back inside..My wrist feels naked without it. I lost my first Ultra to a slap shot that hit my glove and shattered it..I dont play with it on anymore lol

    ive seen a few skiers turn 3 ball at 34mph, never seen anyone get back behind the boat after 4 though personally

    some skiers are still waiting on visa approvals.

    This would have been during my college time, so im pretty sure he was not really skiing, just a lot of biking and golf, and minimal skiing to answer hortons question of where was my dad during that time.
  25. mike_mapple
    what year did jeff do this? It might have been the 4 year span he didnt ski what so ever and was on the golf course everyday instead? Or he may still have been at 36
