Simple enough, a double handle rope, thanks RL :thumbsup

hey i have plenty of skier stuff laying around that i could lend out- and if needed i would be more than happy to help out with the skiing/training thing- i used to race quite a bit back in the day-
just let me know-
i may even have a flotation suit or 2 for some bigger fellas- as i was a little on the bigger side of the scale-
:thumbsup Lol!! Then you put your jumper ski on and popped right up!
It's kind of a specialty rope dealio, but basically yes.. a double handled rope.

I've got a lot of the fun stuff too, RD. My boat is too slow, though. LOL
Also have a Maha race ski with size 10 bindings...
Just let me know. I gotta go get a couple new batteries, LOL...
What is the propper length I need to cut my 2x6 Pailing?
I would say around 68" or so. What wood did you get? White oak seems to take water less than the rest.
Should I bring the waitress? LOL.
I could go for a few of those fresca concotions your wife makes. That is a damn good cocktail.
I'm having one as we speak...
Heck you'll show up and then have a daddy nap LOL. Congrats BTW:champagne::thumbsup
Just name it. I'll need a day or two to dig the boat out of the garage...
Sorry have a meeting all morning...
WW i have a few pailines i just use a fence board put 2 or 3 coats of west systems and a piece of grip tap and your set and length 36-50 inch seems best to me weight depending mine is a 1x 6 but i only way 150lbs.
also binding less skis are a good start and wide ski will work and use grip tap or even surf wax.
I have Ed Hume (He's the guy that did my last shirt) getting started on the graphics today as soon as Nordic Boats sends me what I need.. We are starting with a run of 500 shirts at first to give away to people at races, and certain events. I will send you some for you and your boyz. RD
.RD - I don't care what any of these guys say about you, or your somewhat odd bodily functions, you're a good bloke :thumbsup
We were chatting on the weekend and we're fired up for this season. We've got a new skier coming in to replace my mate who's decided after 1 season that he doesn't want to do it anymore. The new guy is a life-long friend of my other mate who skis with us so it should be an easy transition. We've also decided we're not doing this speed limited shit anymore - we're going for everything it's got! Unlimited - here we come
Hey, we won't win, and we're not pretending we will BUT it will give me the freedom as a driver to push harder so I can learn more and it will give the skiers the same freedom. It's always easier to give a "down" than be frustrated that you can't go "up". We won't learn about fast unless we have the capacity within a race to do so. I've checked the times from the last 3 seasons major races and quite frankly, we won't be at the bottom of the pack! In some cases, based on current speed capabilities, I think we could have even been a podium finish in a couple. After all, it only takes a couple of breakdowns or a missed start by the big guys and up you go in the placings...
And the best part?? We get to be in the first 20-30 boats, with good water, and if the grid in front of us pulls away from us, our water just gets better the further we go. Sure we might get rounded up once or twice, but that'll be good to learn to deal with too. We also get to finish early and watch most of the other boats come home. Now we just have to figure out how to get their fat asses up with a decent size prop and we too can be running with the 90mph boys :champagne:
Oz :bunny:
Well being that I live in Parker full time I have an extra back room and a few bunks if someone needs a place!! I also have an EZ up!!
Let me know when practice sessions are and I'll hall the Schiada down for a weekend!

I'm looking forward to seeing what becomes of that.. That guy is an animal! Drag racing, circle racing, and how ski racing?

No midweek stuff, we are way too busy right now...:thumbsup
Im here and I have skied the last 3 days. Today was the first day I could get up on the race ski. I was having a bitch of a time. I have been using a maha 360 and today was the day for the race ski. I talked with Dave Chandler and he pointed me in the right direction. Im gonna try to get up wrapped up next time but for now it is arms out front then wrap up. I skied 70 and it felt pretty smooth. Im guessing when there are other boats and actual rough water my pucker factor is gonna sky rocket. Hopefully I can get back on it next week. Thank you again for the use of the ski River!
whats happening w this... Im ready!.. we have the 20' stoker also (Rem) (local399)I'm looking that up right now.
It looks like on Sept 27th there are some races at pudding stone.
In october 9 - 10 - 11th there are races listed in San Diego, but I believe these are the races that are being moved to Parker..
This presents somewhat of a problem for me as I'm getting married on Oct 1st.. I can be at both races before and after as well as train / run boats etc..
but a couple of days before the wedding I'm sure I'm going to be busy, and then the cruise is 4 days so I think we get back on the 5th..
Again though I'm down to go to pudding stone and Parker on both weekends.
