[OHHH YAAA]

it seemed like Corey Cook was unbeatable at Parker in the '90s (and most other marathons). Watching Lori Dunsmore, Debbie Nordblad, and Cherl Ruston go at it in the Womens races was pretty epic too. I still remember hearing the hum of the V Drive on the Suddenly boat for about 5 minutes before you actually saw it! Can't forget about Lee Squire skiing behind an 18' Bullett outboard and finishing near the top overall consistantantly.

I really remember Avila’s first twin blower motor WellsCraft (the tan and purple one). Man that fhing sounded like a freight train coming at you.

Also, can’t leave out the Aussies, seeing their contingent show up at the Nationals was a sight to behold. Great group, very enthusiastic. Friendly as could be, loved to party. Shouting “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oy, oy, oy!” every time they won or did well.

And so I have to add the name of Rudi Stout (and his whole family really) to this list. Rudi was a hell of a skier. I had the pleasure of watching his kid lap every American skier in 0-9 Boys one time by like 2-3 laps, it was amazing.

Just going through the site and this caught my eye. It seemed it was either Corey or Martie in the states winning in the 90’s but in 93 the world champion was Kirk Book, I was lucky enough to travel to France during the 93 world and we shared a car along with Lee Squire. Two greats

Martie started to win in the late 90's after his leg fully recovered.
