Water skiing on TV?

When is the last time anyone has seen water skiing on tv? I miss seeing 3 event skiing and barefooting on tv. I liked watching it in the winter time when I couldn't ski. It helped keep me from over eating!

If there is anything on tv, please let us all know!

Never saw anything about waterskiing on TV here in Europe...

The only thing I've seen lately is Cory Pickos' family waterskiing on the Disney Channel for a commercial.

I think that she is promoting something like or is Claritin for allergies! Nice to see some watersports being used. I am curiuos if she was the rider or only on the dock as an actress. I really do not follow Wakeboarding enough to know!   

Nautiquejeff over on planetnautique does a webcast live from the masters. You can see the hole deal on the webcast. Much more coverage than you'd ever see on the tube.

You are correct Skicat...sometimes the best show isnt on Lake Robin.

About a year ago or so, there was a Water Channel. I caught about 15 minutes of some barefooting and Mike Seipel was in it too. Then while I was taping, the show just got cut off and this "lame azz" knife show comes on. I thought there was some kind of mistake but the Water Channel was gone! You talk about disappointment, come on here!

I do remember watching Hot Summer Nights. I might even have some still on video. They might be on the old Betamax! It seemed like you could always find several programs throughout the summer to watch and record. I do enjoy watching the 1979 Masters once and a while With Liz Allen as the host.

I didn't recall it was Seipel, but I do recall seeing it.

I remember watching Wayne Grimditch jump on Wide World of Sports.

Wasn't there a gum commercial or a Mountain Dew commercial with a little kid barefooting within the last couple years?   And I don't remember if it was the same commercial or not, but some people skiing and footing behind one of those little remote control two pods or whatever they were.

I also remember the summer nights show. Barefooting was on the xgames several years ago, but no longer, then wakeboarding, but I dont think that is on any more either.

Several years ago, many women in the sport started the WOW (women of watersports) tour to promote, well, women in watersports. All the big names participated (overton, leachman, jacquess, the larsson twins....,three event and wakeboarding) They were on about 3 or four different teams (overton, CC, MC...)I went to one of the tour stops one summer when it was at my inlaws hometown, which also happens to be jennifer leachman's hometown. There was a number to call for information, which I called and it ended up being her parents and she was home, answered the phone and answered my questions. For a water skier that was kind of like calling the NFL for some information and having Tom Brady answer the phone. Anyway the tour stop was fun and they were televised. I taped the one I was at and still have it.

I have a clip from the day in my   kids skiing video where Kristi Overton is autographing my daughters shirt.

That kinda looks like a young Ron Scarpa, I know he did do a few commercials when he was younger and skied over off of Crystal Beach Rd. in Winter Haven.

One excellent cure is a DVD called "Edged In Water"

The very best Slalom footage I have ever seen!

"Soul" is a must see!

I still have the '79 Masters on video where Liz Allen Shetter is the MC.
