Video of my best one today. I need more angle on my feet and bend hard. But I was just excited I figured out how not to drop my feet in.

Clear tape is harder to see in a video than black.

Water is 52 I think. Air can change. It can be in the high 40s or 70s. Its not too bad but I like having a wet suit on.

your speed on that one looked much better! as I was watching the previous vids I couldn't help but think that it looked a bit fast. glad to see you are getting the hang of it. keep on working. also while watching your forward video it appears to me you are looking down at times.....check out my video a few weeks back......bad things happen when one looks down!

Thanks and I need to work on form with everything that has to do with backwards but atleast I got it this time. And are you talking about the shoes run or the feet run? The shoes run Im pretty sure I was looking at the toe strap so I could get my foot into it.

Did my first flyer this weekend. Did not get it on video. I was wondering if your supposed to hold some of the rope or just let it all go and run a bit and jump? Guess it would also depend on what your jumping off of if you can run or not.

The best flyers always have a running start...leave rope alone...dont run til it gets tight....avoid the flopping flyer

Thats pretty cool. We have a bridge on our lake thats maybe 8ft up. I think its only in like 3ft of water so that is a little scary. Boat driver would have to be on point.

A couple quick videos of David Small from the clinic I went to this week. Not sure if this was his first back pass of his set but David warmed up at 46.5. Boat was a Barefoot Sanger with a 409.
The clinic was fantastic - wish I was able to have spent the week. David was very personable and instruction was basic and derived immediate results.

I brought along a friend of mine who decided last summer to get into skiing. I got him on one last year and now he is working on form. Greg thought if we dressed him up like Hollywood, it would help his progress.

Hey Adam Just think. When you move to Charlotte in a couple months, you can get in on this action on a regular basis.
