Are any of you guys on show ski teams? I've seen a few posts that reference show teams. My family and I are on the a small team, Spray Masters, located in MI. Quigs is on our team also.
I figure some of the footers from Wi are show skiers.
Anyone going to Division 2 Nationals in Indiana, Aug 3-4?

I'll bet you saw some crazy skiing at the WI states. How in the world did WI, one of the coldest states in the union, become the show ski capital of the world? I heard 28 teams.

I am a former member of Central Wisconsin, Pewaukee Lake, and was kind of a member of Badgerland for a few months. Retired from it for now.

Been on Chippewa Lake since it started 10 years ago. Do just about everything in the show except jump and wakeboard. Not skiing with the tournament team this year though.

We're going to try to make it down there to watch. Don't ski in the show, but I have a friend that barefoots and jumps for Lake City. I'll let you know for sure later.

Who's your friend on Lake City? They are more or less our sister team. I'm guessing you are talking about Jake or Gary. Both are crazy footers and jumpers.
We'll be there at noon on Friday through late Sunday. Sunday early morning we go out footing on a nearby lake.   Let me know if your going to be there.

Skiied with Badgerland for 7 years. Both my daughters did too. What a blast. WI State tourney is unbelieveable. When you're bringing three four highs into the show course and have six or seven thousand people standing and screaming their lungs out, it's a pretty big adrenaline rush. They all stand up and start cheering when the ropes are going out for the ender. That's enough to get your blood flowing right there. You feel like superman.

When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded.

Yup....Gary. He's a great guy. We're going to try to get out there sometime that weekend. Where are you going Sunday morning? Warsaw is about a 90 minute drive for me, but it's usually worth it.

That dude can foot. Great jumper, too.
I'm not sure the name of the lake but it's only 10 min from the Lake City ski site. The guy's name is Mark who's house we usually go to. He's on Lake City's team.
Our show team is not competing but my two sons and their buddies are in the jump competition. I'll be the tool anouncing for their jump team.

OK.....we're going to go Saturday, weather permitting. I'll try to remember to wear something "Nautique" and also my green and white "Owners Reunion" hat that I got at GL. My wife and I will be on chairs to the right of the bleachers when looking at the water. We'll try to find the "tool" in the announcers booth during the jumping. Hope to catch up with you there

I won't be in the booth, I'm just announcing for the Spray Master's jump team. I'll be on the stage. I'll have my Reverend Horton Heat concert shirt ( It's a work shirt for the jump act) and then something with a Spray Masters logo on it.
See you there. Don't tell anyone but I know where some cold ones will be stashed. Oops, this is the internet.

OK, you should be easy to spot. Now, I can remember the teams we saw before by the boats they used (go figure). Were the Spray Masters the team with the 3 Mastercrafts?

Friday night was great. The White lake Inn put in a new outside tiki bar. The crowd was good. My son did a flying barefoot start off their dock. The lake was rough enough to paractice footing. The boat ran great until the ground cable pulled out of the terminal end on the block. Jambed it back in, crimped it, we were off and running. Somehow I need a little more speed. I was able to run 43mph with a footer behind the boat and three guys in. I need 45-46mph for my 215lbs. I'm going to tune it up this week, put a timing light on it and see how she runs. I'm getting a hoist put in at White Lake so I'll have access to the boat anytime, rather than having to keep it on the trailer.
Maybe we can put something together for the weekend of Aug 11th.

You should really be OK at 40-41mph, I am 220 and run anywhere from 38-42, ideally around 40.

General rule of thumb is 20mph + 10% of the skiers weight.

I agree with the 40-41mph. That's where I like to foot when we're just playing around. When we do two ski bomb outs, 45-47mph makes for nice hard water. For endurance racing in the rough water, we like a little more speed. Some of the better endurance guys will run 50+. That's not us, we would like to be able to run at 45.

Tullfooter,
let me know how the tune up goes. The 11th sounds pretty good. If you have a prop puller we could always try my acme on your boat and see what you get. I usually know on thursdays what my schedule so lets keep that week end in mind.

I'll be lucky to get my tune up done this week. I thought I could get it Wed but I'll be putting that hoist in. Heading to Warsaw Friday morning for Div ll Nationals. I'll let you know how it goes. Shoot for the weekend of the 11th if you can. Dinners on me at the Inn.

That could work out really good, weather permitting. We were supposed to have a show in Cadilac but plans fell through. Bingo, open weekend. If the weather cooperates, the lake will be hopping.
We'll figure it out when it gets closer.

I wish. Should be a great time. If anyone wants to see some of the best, craziest skiing ever, that is the place to be.
One of our team drivers is the D-1 tournament driver.

If your going to be there on Sunday, you don't want to miss Backwater's show. I saw it at regionals. The skiing is great and the stage show is a scream.
