I use that one all the time when I see someone grabbing the handle to soon before the ski finishes. Am I a bad coach :smiley:

This video never gets old. I've been nursing a problematic rear foot for a many years. When I go to physical therapy or when I signed up with a trainer I use this video to show them the extreme forces associated with slalom. I usually stop the video after two ball as most people's attention span won't last that long and we all know it looks the same whether they're running -32 or -39 off. But after that short clip they always react with an, "oh, I thought you were on two skies doing the whip and fun stuff like that". Nobody really gets it, do they?

Can you post a pic of said hardware? It's all pretty generic, you should be able to match something up.

Had the pleasure of watching him win the WWSP Tourney at Flushing Meadow Park in Queens, NY back in the day. My job was literally right down the block so i volunteered to help out. Drove the pick up boat in a couple of rounds as they didn't want skiers swimming to shore after a miss or fall due to debris etc.

Hmm.. Any pics of it running?

Shot... Pretty cool when you call the dog. Come Shot.

BTW, I've been boating in salt my whole life. A low hour, well cared for salt water boat is worth a tad less to me then a low hour, pristine fresh water boat.

@Teddy just to clarify there are two types of closed cooling systems. The most popular and cheapest is the half system, antifreeze in the block but raw water or salt water going out the manifolds and risers. A full system which is not as popular on ski boats runs anti freeze through pretty much everthing. Either way the heat exchanger is basically a radiator, raw or salt water cooling the anti freeze.

Reminds me of my old HP days!

Thanks for all the input and suggestions. I'm thinking this is totally doable, heck I wasn't all that great LFF to begin with:) The one downside If i make the switch is I'll HAVE to turn 5 ball. @Stoner Thanks again for the phone time.

This might sound silly, but does anyone know of someone that changed their front foot foward with any success? My rear foot/ankle is toast and just doesn't flex the way it should for slalom, its also incredibly painful. Is this doable or am bring a bit dillusional?

Thanks for all the input, it kind of confirms the numbers I was thinking.This is a really sweet running package, the red cowling even matches the boat! If things go as planned it might be for sale this winter.

@"Mateo Vargas" I'm trying, every time I try to post a new photo the original photo keeps loading.
