This thread i s for Horton and alikes, My respect for you guys running 39 cannot be overstated.
Matt just add there some.
Matt, You do it, and you always have, you are stong there so it is natural.
You can still gain by adding there.
Horton, like myself never just got it, I had to learn it.
When I figured out the difference, I had to switch to a toe plate because I was pullig up the velcro and then ripping screws out of the ski rear binding in the back from such a powerfull move.
I finally was able to take the winter off and pick it right back up, just like th pros.
No more long sets with better feel and results. 4 or 5 pass sets 3 times a week.
Please stick to what I said.
Think PULL during the transition with 2 hands
I never said pull in on the handle.
Think PULL during the transition
Instead of doing almost nothing on a loose line into the turn,
You advance on the boat and gain the control with the connection to the boat
This is done with strength and power.
It is NOT a result or what just happens. It is POWER during the transition/preturn
A typical great skier smooths everythig out.
It won't be so obvious like Jamie.
Think of the connection this way, pulling up on the side of the boat at the end of the lake.
Mr Quick to dismiss, you could not be more wrong with speed control
Zero off is PERFECT. My dream throttle GOES WHEN I GO, Releases when I do.
I will never forget the first time riding in the boat and hearing the power being Perfectly applied, even on the pull out for the gates.....
How did they make it Exactly as I dreamed and the way I drove it??
I should get royalties, I thought of it first, well done Andy, it is PERFECT
Perfect pass was terrible, ALWAYS too late. I used a slalom switch set to a high # of 30 or so.
Trying to make Zero off before Zero off.
Especially the GPS version, how could it be any worse??? Dunno, Just keep changing that crap, for me, a very unhappy marrige for me but the only choice during that era
I moved away from skiing beginning with my divorce in 2010 or so, Nothing at all in it for me then, and now. Like most amateurs, I suppose.
Pretty much quit skiing in 2014, probably skied a dozen or so sets in 14 & 15,
Perhaps a half dozen in 16. Not skiing I am a few @ 38 guy, only need 1 round.
I have not skied since states in 2016, I skied far far less than anyone I have ever heard of.
Why was it still just there?
I saw the light
see notes above, I believe, I believe
Yes it happens faster and stonger as the rope shortens, even harder to spot then.
I came so close to deleting the siple info with all the uproar, dismissal and shock.
What do I gain by enlightening the the readers? absolutely nothing
Don't overthink it, just think Pull at the transition. it is that simple.
Horton, please let me know your reults
