That's fine, but if you aren't in a competition you go a lot faster than that.
Like I said, I've personally slalom skiid at 50 mph ... When you cut the wake going that fast you're doing at least 60 too. You can't even get a wakeboard up to near speeds like that because the width of the board causes it to float up and every single tiny wave in the water is gonna knock it off balance making it really unstable.... -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

yes. casual skiing on a slalom always hurt my back the most, from leaning back. wakeboarding hurts my knees more from landing, and hitting the wake being jarred into the air.

I didnt have anyone there to show me how to do it or explain it, i just used my imagination + a few internet articles, so that could be why. but i have suffered bruised ribs and pretty bad whiplash trying to be a badass under the influence from just hitting the water wrong. anyway, both of those are pussy shit, INTERTUBING SEPARATES THE MEN FROM THE BOYZ!  one of the worse injuries ive seen on the lake was when a friend of mine was skiing for the first time on parallels and he somehow got one leg over the rope when he fell and the triangle grip was positioned between his legs and he was turned around backwards being dragged by his balls. later reports indicate that he had rope burn all over his sack and outlying areas! Id gladly take whiplash over sackburn -------------------- A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have. |
