  1. Pretty much the same. I do it for the same reason you mentioned, but also mainly to get into ski shape before I start to take off line.
  2. Ice still on my lake. You suck.
  3. You should steal some boxes from snow skis at Sugar Bush
  4. I try not to allow shoes in the boat, but my driver (wife) just rolls her eyes as if to say do you want me to drive or not?
  5. My ski partner is a 6-4 230lb 32off 34mph skier. He skis on a 69" Senate pro. He's tried sizing down to a 68" but the larger skis work a lot better for him. His favorite ski was the 2016 Vapor 69"
  6. A lot of skiers from NY state run a plastic extended tail on the Connelly. They look like a duck beak and I think someone up there makes them, not sure on that. But the guys I've talked to swear by them. Obviously it's working for Jason.
  7. It also may show how awesome Jack's is as a site for the event.
  8. @Stathis Ventourisand @schuba I'm on a 67 XTR Team and I find it to be a perfect combo of speed and stability (5'11" 175-180lbs). Yes Goode measured their ski's differently, in the past. I believe now they measure them the same as the rest of the industry.
  9. You can clearly see that the buoy popped right back up. No way it pops up like that if it gets caught in the prop
  10. I had a prominent promo driver tell me they like to take a rasp/file to the screw holes to make it go even further to the right.
  11. B3 on every boat. Probably should try more but I'm too chicken
  12. It looks like if Maha and Connelly Hook had a child this would be it
  13. I have blisters on my butt just looking at that interior
  14. @Vernon ReeveBorn before the internet? I graduated college and I believe I was married before the internet.
  15. I hate watching video of myself. But last month I was in a slump and my wife secretly videoed me. After reluctantily looking at the video I was dipping my shoulder on the pull out for the gate. Next time out I concentrated on that one thing and it all came back. Maybe I should use video more. Hmm
  16. I agree with @pcmcon729 who is one of the top drivers in the east. I like the fact it is making me think about how to improve my driving. I am now conscious of the fact I tend to be closer to the right entrance gate ball (still in the green for tolerance). All else is good but here is an area I need to improve.
  17. was the dash mount a Moomba part or some other replacement part?
  18. I rented a boat on Lake Powell from a marina in Page, AZ. It was a Baja I/O. It was perfectly fine for what we were doing. Unless you find a secluded stretch the skiing is not great anyway. Like skiing in a bath tube with a bunch of other boats around.
  19. I agree with @jcamp Regionals are my highlight of the year for the same reasons he stated. I usually don't go to Nationals although I qualify every year. This year will be the second time in over 15 years that I will be going to Nationals. I love Regionals because I compete against the best of my region. Part of the reason the best is there is because of the requirement to ski Regionals. If I podium or God willing someday win Regionals it would be hollow if the best were not there.
  20. I have my brother's old Maha. Nice looking ski ..... and it's a wall ornament.
  21. @MISkier If I didn't know it I would swear that was Ed's old anchor wanker.
  22. I can't remember the video, but there was a great video on YouTube on the buffing process that was spot on. I'm sure you can find it or something similar with a little searching.
