    @chrisrossi, I have moved my way up through the speeds and am about to move onto the shortline. The shortened rope feels a lot different and obviously the geometry is a bit different also. I was wondering what your best tip is for making the transition between the longline and the shortline. Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers, Donald

    cheers for the advice, just to let you know my technique is now perfect and I am slaying 55/34s!

    Any tips?

    Rez replied to doonez's topic in Technique & Theory

    you could do with trying to initiate the turn earlier

    Junior buoys

    Rez replied to Rez's topic in News & Other Stuff

    Thanks all for the help, we're going to go down to the lake tomorrow night (New Zealand time) and put the buoys in, looking forward to seeing some junior skiers getting that course skiing started!

    At the local lake where I ski we are in the process of putting in junior buoys inside the normal turn buoys for new skiers learning to ski the course, is there a official length they should be at? we are just judging it by what we have seen at other lakes at the moment, does any one know how many feet/meters they should be away from the normal turn buoys? thanks :)

    @Skoot1123 yeah, i've heard the smaller the better! had my share of blisters!

    So, if i fitted a medium 41 tail glove, would it be wise to maybe go for a large legend glove if they are tighter fitting, or stay the same? I can't get a pair to try on at the moment..
  8. Rez
    i've heard that the 41 tails have the knuckle strap issues, so it would be the same with the legends I'm assuming? But does this outweigh the other factors of the glove that make them so good, or is it still worth getting them?
  9. Rez
    Looking for new gloves and can get these at a reasonable price, new technology looks cool- any of you ballers know if its good? appreciate your feedback!

    if Nate Smith can run world records on a toe plate, i'll stick with mine!

    @brody how bad are the factory blemishes, just for interests sake, and how much do they discount them to be?

    @lucas that makes sense! will have to try it out!

    @ShaneH i see what you mean just by standing up and squeezing my butt cheeks together, it tightens up my core and brings my hips forward, i'll be sure to put that into practice!
  14. Rez
    thanks!- yeah for sure that makes sense! i find that usually on my hardest pass at them moment 55km i usually get to the 3/4 ball and am running late skiing towards the ball rather than being early, hopefully this will help sort it out and keep the tip down

    I'm a 15 off skier looking to progress through the ranks (hopefully one day get into shortened rope) and have noticed that in my turns that I often rock my weight back through the turn. Although I find I am able to get into a good stacked position across the wakes I do not generate as much angle as i want to to be early for the next ball. do any of you ballers have any tips to think of to help with getting my weight forward in the turns and how i could generate greater angle? anything is appreciated! (I will try and get video when next skiing)

    learned to get wide up beside the boat on my gate pull out, makes the whole pass a lot easier!

    Managed to kick the ski into the back of my head when having a OTF into the first wake, unusual thing to happen I'm sure! Left me with a little cut and a head ache

    I have a eagle baggy dry suit, new this year, ran my pb first set in it! Dry as a bone also, got it for $449, front zipper works well

    I had a good adventure with my buddies enzo's also, dug a tip in coming into the first wake, feet didn't come out, ended up with the tail of my ski hitting the back of my head and giving me a nice little head wound, wasn't too bad, just a bit of blood, back skiing the next weekend!

    hey I'm jamie, from new zealand, i ski at the local lake, 'backpaddock lakes' just started running the course this year and am currently running a full pass at 52km and hope to up this by the end of the southern summer, i ski with my pals @doonez and nick, behind their trusty 196's, i ride a 2011 radar strada, new this summer and love the ski! my main issue is getting time on the water to improve which is essential to progress on the course, i look forward to entering some competitions with my buddys later this year :)
  21. Rez
    hey @doonez i saw you at the lake the other weekend. great technique! and nice new boat mate ;) i also heard you set a new pb, 22 off is way back now! look forward to hearing from you :)
