A guy in our club put a new 5.0 L and Zero-off in his '91. Guess he has a MasterBoat now.

Our next set will be taken from Precision Ranch.

I can pull you tonight or tomorrow night over in Berkeley. Can also arrange something for the weekend if you can't get into the tournament. PM me.

I thought it was called the slack dance?

The jump was rebuilt about 20 years ago but hasn't had much use in the last 15 yrs. Last year a graffiti artist paddled out there in the middle of the night and tagged the surface. We also had a homeless guy living under it. One of many interesting problems with urban skiing. The ramp is currently preserved with a thick layer of bird crap.

I know nothing about the equipment used here. Just a guy playing with his new toy who wanted to film us. A pretty interesting perspective on our urban site where skiing has been happening since the sixties.

 

Fast forward to the 1 minute mark to see takeoff.

The Vogue

@Dirt I want to try it when you have it dialed. You can try my Vapor.

This might be an option for you: http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=161398922648

King Shredd & King Dread!

In the West we had 5 M2 slalom skiers and no trickers or jumpers at Regionals.

68" on the Vapor. You also might consider the 69" Senate Graphite for 32 mph. I tried my friend's and it's no slouch.

First rides on my 68" today and think I've made a mistake....mistake that I didn't try one sooner!

One of my boat partners has a GPS buoy built and I believe patent pending. His design will have no issues with weeds. I'll talk to him tomorrow to see if he is ready to reveal it.

Does anyone know what it would take to upgrade an Indmar 6.0L in a 2003 MasterCraft to Zero Off?

When I was there a couple of weeks ago they were also making them as barefoot handles.

@gginco mentioned a drop in scores between his silver Strada and orange Strada and I was sharing my experiences since we are a similar height and weight and I have skied on every year's Strada. I'm not sure on the actual flex measurements but the different layup in the 2012 & 2013 changed the torsional flex which to me felt like the ski was softer so I went up to a 68". I also actually skied with him last Saturday at at Regionals so thought he should consider a 68" Vapor for Laku.

 

I haven't been Vaporized yet but the Dawg has spoken and mandated a 68" so have one coming.

My daughter said she saw a ski photo on the CNN website. Good to see skiing in the mainstream. Nice spray Ally!

Sounds like a 68" would be better for you. The Silver Strada was stiffer so you could get by on the 67" but when they changed the flex in 2012 I went to the 68".

I thought it was spelled Hoardin?

I've reread the documentation and still think 1 ball means 1 ball and they assume that we know to gauge this to look at the 0 segment. I also noticed they say to calibrate the baselines without a skier and I did it with one which explains why the boat feels it's coming in hot. So my baseline is too high.

I've skied with at least 3 of those guys. Is that a GoPro mount on that guys ski on the far right?

I have the new software on a '95 MC 190 LT1 1:1 and also trying to dial in Zbox. Was getting +or- .01 everywhere except for 3 to 4 ball was consistently -.03. Yesterday I raised the baseline to where I could get actuals in classic mode and now good everywhere except getting hot 1 balls like skiboyny. -.02 to -.04 so my next move I might lower the baseline a little.

 

One time when I was adjusting the background settings I got into a screen I hadn't seen before. It had KX and a Zbox factor. Does anyone know how to get to this screen?

Brett don't bother, it will only make him stronger. I tried it at the 2011 Nationals and he tied for 1st and I got last.
