From my new favorite show Ozark: “Skiing might be every guy’s dream but it might not be for every guy. You read me?” - Bobby Dean

I was wondering why no one asked what foot forward and which side of the ski your rope was on. If you’re left foot forward like me, the rope needs to be on the right edge of the ski and if you are right foot forward put the rope on the left side. I can’t get up if I reverse these or at least it’s almost impossible. If the rope is correct and that’s not the problem then you probably are not getting the ski moving forward and rising before you push with your legs. Push with your legs and the ski is to perpendicular to the surface.

What about the beer? No one has mentioned anything about the beer except for in the title :/

Too bad I haven't had 5 scores since 2003. Have they put out the dockstarter sign up sheet yet? I'm at least coming to cheer everyone on.

I personally feel and am fully confident that AWSA can survive on its own. If you want to grow the sport of 3 event or "traditional" skiing then you need to cut ties and revamp the system. It is obvious that the sport hasn't improved much in the last 10 years doing it their way. You either get the right people put in charge or keep complaining for the next 10 years. I once had grand visions of being an olympic athlete but fully understood that it was a pipe dream since a boat was involved. We need to drop the olympic dream and start growing the sport on its own. Don't laugh but the sport of rodeo has done just fine by itself without relying on the USOC. If you look back in the past, the sport of waters skiing had a better presence in the national eye before we set up USAWS and joined up with USOC.
