After 3 years off the water last Sat I got back at it with an epic fall over the wake -doh! :crash:

It's like your spotter knew it was going to happen before it did! Hope you're OK. Water hurts when different parts of your body decelerate at different speeds.

Hold my beer.

Came to tag @Dwight. Leaving satisfied. My question is, did you stay up long enough to win the bet and if so, what WAS the bet? Because that looks just damn stupid. :roflmao:

It has been a while since I water skied in tournaments, but the crashes were brutal when they occurred when flying off the ramp--a lot like crashes in DH ski races....

Mad respect for jumping. As stated crashes are brutal.

Barefooting is def a beer drinking event as opposed to the slalom course is a power/finnesse/power/skill event

How is your barefoot slalom and are you tricking 10,000 points?

Evidently drinking beer is apt for several watersports.
