Caldwell at Trophy Lakes on Friday, Nov. 17th

Big Question - What is going to happen to the incredible collection of classic slalom waterskis??? I hope they have found a good home for all of them in the same place.

@Drago Ignoring the humorous allusions, but what is that thing???

Can someone refer me to the video link (and time stamp) for Adam's runs?

Bump

Full pass at 39! Just for the record, what was your previous PB at a tournament?

This is indeed a huge loss for Seattle and waterskiing. Many prayers for his family. My best Paul story was the day I was looking at some skis when a guy came into the shop and tried to barter, and not in a friendly way, with Paul over the price of a used ski. Paul just kept raising the price until the guy gave up. He then tried to buy it at the original price and Paul just said no. When the guy left the shop, I couldn't help but break out laughing.

Horton - all of the above. Great video!

Well deserved, well earned! Congratulations!

I think it is hilarious that no one has commented on the beard.

Try again. Caldwell was on vacation in Maine. Not sure if he is back yet.

@Horton I don't think I have ever seen a video of you being that (consistently, ball to ball) smooth at 38. Amazing skiing.

@Horton OK, I'll second what @Than_Bogan asked. Are you just yanking our chain?

Spectators watched in amazement at the recent Trophy Lakes tournament as Adam Caldwell ran 1/2 at 43 and 5.5 at 41 in rounds 1 and 2 respectively. In addition, Caldwell was heard to say "My forearms were smoked from finalizing design with Cord the entire previous week. I must have easily skied over 200 passes over the previous 10 days, 90% of which were at 38 and shorter at 36 and 34mph." and "The first 41 all three buckles opened up on the back of 3 ball" Eyebrows were raised and the subject of suspicious "performance enhancers" was raised. But, now the truth can be revealed! (Thanks to @Horton or @MattP for source picture.)

@adamhcaldwell , as @Wish said, this pass looked pretty smooth. Basically, every one of the passes you have posted look pretty good! The c75 seems to be very forgiving of positioning on the ski.
