  1. Thank you--this is helpful. I watched the video again and what you said here rings true. I have more strength in my arms and shoulders and I am concentrating my strength there instead of my core and legs where it should be.
  2. I will try all of these things (the palm change included) and see where that gets me. Thank you both for the feedback.
  3. Yes, thank you. I promise to think of very little else before the start of the season.
  4. 32 off / 34 mph I've had this same problem forever, but I've been working hard to fix it for three years will little success. I've read everything, listened to the podcasts, had excellent instruction and I can't seem to whip this: My inside arm separates from my body at the pre-turn. Before the season starts and I read again all the techniques and instruction posts, listen to the podcasts and watch all the videos again, I was wondering if anyone has a fresh perspective on how to focus on staying with the handle instead of having to make the perfect turn each time because I've given myself no wiggle room.
  5. Yes, penultimate in English! It's a great word.
  6. I wish there was a name for "the one before the last" 😁
  7. Are there any still pics from above looking straight down on a skier from a drone? I have seen videos from above, but they are usually following behind the skiier. I would love to see the angle of the ski and the orientation of a skier's body from that perspective.
  8. Are you suggesting that since the issue has been addressed but people continue to struggle with it, those who persist must be stubborn? Comprehending a concept and physically executing it are distinct challenges. Once a skill is mastered, it often seems effortlessly simple and obvious. I often see people instructing water skiers with this same attitude--imagine trying to learn a difficult concept at the same time as dealing with someone in the boat ridiculing your effort.
  9. As someone who does this often, I'm going to take a guess as to why: I am pulling with my upper body instead of my lower (which does look like a stacked position), but the angle I have taken across the wake is untenable and by the time I have reached the second wake, I have separated from the handle and it is pulling me out of position. There is no way to keep a good position here because I have skied away from both the handle and the boat.
  10. I want to know more about that 2700-year-old woman. That's got to be some kind of record.
  11. Is there some reason that Marcus Brown is trolling us?
  12. What happened to the rotating pictures from Instagram of skiers? I enjoyed those.
