  1. Great job! Givego left a bit of a hole, and although it had its problems it did provide invaluable coaching from many top skiers and coaches to people who just dont have access to top level coaching. Hope it goes well and ballers support it.
  2. There are some great recent Spraymaker episodes: "What Matters Most", "Stay Focused" and "Eliminate the noise" which talk a lot about how we often focus on the wrong stuff like -...the bright shiny objects.. Definitely worth a listen
  3. Very interesting to watch the different styles. Who would have the highest score, Bill or Chris?
  4. @Dano you can simply edit the video and choose the mirror option (2 triangles with a double arrow above) which will bring the video to normal
  5. Amazing skiing. And yet he didn't even score PB's in any of the events. Still more to come perhaps? I suspect he would be looking to peak at the Worlds, so stay tuned?
  6. @KelvinI thought the camera position right where the skier was turning for jump was great. You could see exactly how late every skier was going. And you got a sense of what picture each skier was seeing into the ramp. Well done on the webcast
  7. @RobHazelwood Hearing the scores and how each skier performed is great. Even better is hearing interviews from each skier talking about how their set went, good or bad, is even better. Sometimes a skiers score doesn't tell the real story of why it went well, or not so well, that we don't see on the live broadcasts. That skier feedback after their round is very relatable to what us amateur skiers often experience at tournaments.
  8. @RobHazelwoodGreat job with the blog. Seeing all the behind the scene stuff of a proskier is awesome, keep up the good work. If you wanted to add anything maybe seeing what the pros do as far as warming up before they ski or what rituals they go through before they hit the water would be great to see or learn about.

  10. My "Get out of a slalom funk card" is to focus on where I am looking. Looking down course prior to the ball keeps me balanced and my shoulders up coming into the turn Coming out of the turn and heading towards the wakes I have my eyes and head looking ahead of the next buoy or even looking at the boat ensures I am balanced on the ski through my lean
  11. Under 21 mens trick was an amazing standard. 10320pts only gave you 5th place.
  12. I sometimes ski behind a perfect pass boat which I enjoy but when I ski behind a zero off boat I feel a stiffer stronger pull that can be less forgiving (this is often the case in tournaments). Would using the less stretch series rope behind the perfect pass boat give a closer simulation to the zero-off boat with a medium series stretch rope? Or am I way off the mark with this thinking?
  13. @Splasheye Great thanks, I have registered and will look through it. Appreciate the effort you have put into this.
  14. @Splasheye so I signed up. When will the website be ready?
  15. Is the new Eyetrick system for judging tricks going to make it easier for people to learn to be a trick judge?
