Water ski races this weekend in Parker!

[Mrs. Riley1]

Just a heads up! There will be ski races this weekend in Parker. They will also be doing a grass roots race before the regular races for anyone who wants to try it out! My son is racing juniors and @Riley1 and his brother are racing grass roots. It’s going to be a great weekend!

Good luck to Cameron!

So glad to hear some new blood getting into it. It is a great sport. You can just have fun with it, and you can also learn a lot about yourself and your work ethic if you put your all into it. Good luck to all the racers.

Yes, the turn will be at Cienega Springs ramp. Basically same as the Enduro course.

Todd Kelm from Gretchen's automotive is most likely headed that way this weekend.

I pulled his uncle on Saturday and Sunday, he skied fantastic!!
First time racing!!

 

[Mrs. Riley1]

What an amazing weekend! We had so much fun and met so many awesome, helpful people! Cameron got hooked up with a couple race suits and helmets to get him going. He skied great. He made his starts both days, no falls, and increased his speed. We can’t thank everyone who helped him enough! Looking forward to the next race in Havasu!

Not sure if the video will show up.

Was trying to find the head restraints that lifeline used to make that you can buckle around your chest. Found a picture, but couldn’t find a way to buy.

If anyone knows where or how to buy something like this, or someone who can make it, we’d rather him in the best safety gear as soon as possible, so it’s normal to him and not a hindrance.

I’m pretty you got another one hooked this weekend. Already talking about the next 3 races. He is planning the go to all 3 including Chula Vista. Reserved an RV spot today down there. Planning on practicing wrapped up starts. And have been looking at some 80” skis today.

Lifeline still makes helmet support straps. Give Kent a call 928-669-9241. Call after 10:00 A.M. sometimes he lets the machine answer in the mornings when he is busy.
