The run:
2 skis: WO,R,B,F,O,R,LB,LF,WLB,WLF. 1 Ski: WO,R,SS,B,F,O(NC),R,LB. Toe tricks: TB,TF,TWB,TWF. Try that on a old pair of wood sticks. In today's world those trick should be worth double what the rules give. Love the shorts! |

Great video. Anyone ever see the video "Waterskiing Ken White". Great video from the 60's and 70's. Jody, did you know that guy?

I knew Ken. He was a great guy and a great skier. He had it all. Looks, spoke well and was good at what he did. He ended up in the SCR in the 80's so I was able to get to know him.

What is SCR?
I had never heard of him. It lists all his water ski records at the back of the video and he did a lot. Good trick skiing in the video. |

he was a heck of a slalom skier too. He ran a ski school in the Dallas area. I think he grew up in Cali and then moved to God's country in the 80's.

I ran across Ken at a few tournaments in the distant past. Great person and was a true personality in the sport. Here is another video that is from the Picko's ski center. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsDvGtEXrYk&feature=related The Nautique in the bacground and some of the shots was one of my boats. This is where my son and daughter now train. curently Cory has trained the following in the last year: Regina Jaquess World slalom record and world overall record holder, Javier Julio World overall champion, Adam Sedelmeier #2 in the world overall, Stephen Seal US men national jump and overall champion, (also AWSA rankings list champion). Caroline Hensley jr Masters champion and world jr champion. Adam Pickos National boy3 trick record holder. Monica Seal National jump podium (3rd) the list goes on and on very sucessfull ski school. |

Cool old video! I've got hours of 8mm video of my dad and Pauly-Banana from the late 60s early 70s doing a lot of trick skiing! Fun to watch now and then! They were using home-made tricks!

No D3's, Wyleys, or Masterline, just good old fashion wood tricks (problably Cypress Guardens brand) and some talent.

I don't think the "surf skiing" is the best thing for structural integrity of a boat.
 or the rider's backs!

Ken White was a great water skier. I did not see much from Mike. He said surf skiing was his specialty??? I did not see anything special?? I bet the people in the boat had a good time.
