My Barefooting Videos

Sort of like Where's Waldo, but only a little easier to spot.

Larry: I think my "over 50" handicap is in my head.
Used to do the tumble with the ski on....no more..way to easy to catch that ski. Also used to step-off and reach down and pick up the ski and lay it across my knees. You kinda had to crouch and grab the edge of the ski as you were leaving it. Not to hard really but you did not wanna fall with the ski at your "nads".
Sure did have lots of good fun and "show-off" time with this stuff back before booms, padded suits and such made it easier for more people to learn. Oh well, progress I guess.

Where's the video?

How long does it take to show up? I click the link and get a blank page that says "Done" on the bottom. I don't see it listed on the video page link off the main site either.

Ok I ended up saving it then opening it, probably just some Quicktime BS.

You weren't kidding, that is glass! Wow.

I like following this forum so that I get to page down by Nautique2001s post.....
I almost Quoted it again but then realized that I would never get to the bottom.

What a great thread. Thanks for resurrecting it Joel.

Cameras were rolling the night Ken decided to give the short line another try. Siepel wasn't there to help, so we did the best we could. Think I was going a touch too fast...

Mark and I probably each took 8 runs on the short rope. Good times. Joel, we had a day like that 2 weeks ago. here's some footage. Brad's run

Brad, that water looked a bit rough compared to what I had. You had about 2mm rollers, I had zero! The footing was certainly better though. Nice choice of Orion for the music.

You've got quite a pair of feet there- you're practically wearing combos! What are those things? 14s?

Ken's start was quite amazing. At least one law, if not several laws of physics were shattered there!

Wow Brad, looking solid!

Don't start with the "big feet means big...."
It just means you can foot at slower speeds.

Not too serious. When I was in NC I was practicing my back deeps. Had my feet planted and was picking up speed. Ever have one foot catch and spin you around? Well both my feet caught and sprung both my legs, what felt like, up around my head. It hurt, but not so bad not to try again. That time I actually got up, but when I was going something popped in my leg. Hurt like a son of a gun. Hobbled around for a couple days, after which I could move around again and start skiing. But no BF for a while and definitely no bacerds. Still hurts when I sit for long periods, like in the car (the trip home from NC and 3 trips to NY in the past 6 weeks) Havent tried bacerds since, but hope to resume next summer.

You have no idea how tempting that is Joe, but I dont think its in the cards. Really would have liked to have hooked up with you this past weekend, I spent two nights in Waterloo. But it was parents weekend at my daughters school and it would have been kind of hard to tell her, "well, Tom (my son, who you met) and I are heading over to see Joe". We did however at least drive through Auburn on the way to pick apples in Lafayette. We should have stopped by for a cruise around the lake. You get that tic fixed?

Yes....unfortunatly the one night I did not wear my knee brace. Really cranked my knee...hurt for days. Sounds like you popped a hamstring. Also gotta watch getting those feet to wide and then not getting them back together to stand up. Us guys (50+) ain't quite as limber as we used to be.

No need to wait till next summer to go bacerds. I know you would enjoy a visit here mid-winter. So would I. And you'll really enjoy skiing with and watching Eddie.

Brad: 12's......no way.
