  1. Not much competition for Mati Gonzalez in that first trick round.
  2. @Horton, this is why the divisions are named XX+. XX and older.
  3. Have skied in West Palm (Hobe really) with a neo top with no temp issues, but fewer days than what I would have liked to because of the wind. Back to summer next week.
  4. @Dano Arm came thru the open slid and up to the shoulder, then the protection edge cut thru the upper arm when the pull from the boat came, and ripped off the full biceps down. This accident and some other knowledge on arm accidents involving handle protectors were contributors to the IWWF approval as I understand
  5. I saw the result of an accident with a commercial plastic handle guard. It was not good at all.
  6. Theraband Flexbar.
  7. I would imagine he had to do some severe edge tuning to get that old ski working for his skiing style. Wait... This not even 32MPH slalom video, it is 30MPH. So it just doesn't deliver a great example of good slalom skiing because of the slushy response from the ski. Like racing on a road track with low tire pressure. Or not? I am confused now. Sorry... I could not resist.
  8. For sure you can take a ski that allegedly does not work for you that is two generations old now and tweak it to make it better for your particular skiing style, reducing its resell value a lot and spending several hours in the process. Or you could trade it for a newer generation one (ION & ION 2), that have hundreds of hours of expert R&D and world-class testing on them, and see if it works better (which has been the case for all skiers I know that have upgraded their EVOs). I guess it all depends on the pleasure derived from the tweaking process and placebo effect v/s the pleasure of more probable better skiing out of the box with the newer versions.
  9. @Horton, thanks for the trick table!
  10. Updated Trick points table. They are in the Rulebooks, but come handy.
  11. @Jody_Seal, we got the new kit. How long should a competent technician take to do the conversion/installation? Thanks!
  12. Got now the bad news from the mechanic, the transmission is dead. We will need a new one. @Jody_Seal, they do sell spare parts for the 80?
