Used to really love that wall of a wake

I remember in the 70's when our new jump was never used for the 1st year after installation, someone decided, after some drink probably, that everyone should learn. So nearly all the club members had a go in one afternoon. 8-year-olds to 60-year-olds. And with steel-toe-capped wooden Kathro jump skis. Some of us actually skied away. Most could walk after 😀. Great days Sorry to hear your aggro. Try... Chris at CJM Waterski ? https://www.cjmskiandwake.com or Dave at https://www.chichesterwatersports.co.uk

My old man had a Canadian MC. In England

RFF and and 30 years ago Right ACL detachment when hitting the ramp and the re-entry didn't help either. didn't have it repaired at the time because couldn't afford the time off work (and cost). Got back to slalom only but using double Wileys and had a proper knee brace the type they measure you up for. After a while I didn't really notice it but took it carefully and no last buoy at all costs. Confidence does come back though. Good luck

Oz immigration don't like it when you reply to the question 'Do you have a criminal record?' and you reply 'Sorry, I didn't realise you still needed one to get in'

Good grief...

great video, thanks as I manage decline, 4 ball slalom courses could be the way ahead, ha ha

I have a feeling that for a short while and someone please correct me if Im wrong but Mike Hazelwood used to trick on one for a bit or pretty sure some of the UK team did in between the Reflex - EP era late seventies. I might have some old photos from back then, I'll check next time in Attic There is also a chance my old man still might have the pair in his garage. Seem to remember each trick ski had 2 slots in them running the length of the ski. They also made slalom and jump skis. The slalom skis were works of art - the Jump skis had steel horseshoes at the top edges pic enclosed. I'm sure that focused your mind on the cut to the ramp. A bit like having a pointy thing poking out of your car steering wheel. These were the days when hardly anyone wore crash helmets for jump

I had a pair of those...

You could well be right there but there is a slight misgender there, dear boy😀

Not a lot about the worlds on here either https://www.bwsw.org.uk/home/

What sort of mongrel steals one of these?

Fantastic. Well done young man!

Brilliant, looking forward to the jugglers and dancers? And the bloke on stilts
