    Look Mom, I already apologized for the time we tried to get you up on skis and you ended up doing the splits and, well, you know the rest. Get over it -- or the day will come (soon) when I'm looking to put you in the old folks home, and you won't like what I choose for you...

    What a JOKE. That video is lame. Probably wishing you would fall and get some water up your ASS.

    ya def looked smooth on the jumpout. i like that ratio for the speed it sounds acurate. i way about 170 and a like to foot at about 37. and jumping out of two is definitly the most fun you can get on the water. what a rush bether than deepwater starts. or a fast slamon run

    Thanks. That's my passion. If I could do that stuff all the time (and make a good living) I'd do it in a heartbeat. Or, at least, for as long as my body could hold out (you'll notice the video clip doesn't show the crash at the end...)

  • Deep water start = ...

    Deep water start = lots of fun but, yeah, there are those moments (or split seconds) where you wonder how this one is going to turn out. Great fun, though. Wish I could do all this stuff more than just once or so a year...

  • That formula looks ...

    That formula looks pretty accurate to me. I'd say, though, I'd want a little more speed for a two ski jump out than for something like stepping off a slalom ski. My fiancee (driver for this video) recalls we were trying to get as much speed out of the boat as possible...

  • Barefoot speed.... ...

    Barefoot speed....take your weight, divide by ten and add 20...I'm 185...185/10 = 18.5.... 18.5 + 20 = 38.5 = my barefoot speed.

    Thanks. That was done behind a decent tournament-type inboard ski boat that we rented, and I'd say it was going about 40 mph, give or take a couple mph.

    I weigh about 150 lbs.

    I hadn't tried that trick for probably 20 years, and I'm not even sure I've stuck it successfully in the past, but that time it just worked. I was more surprised than the people in the boat were.

    Take care.
