Anyone interested in Combo skis?

I think I may be good to go. Now I just have to get Hollywood out this way for some lessons.

Cool looking ski Larry, how about some more pics and measurements? Practice the turn with a trick ski. That was really the only reason to going back to to slalom trick for me but I've come to enjoy it, just can't bring myself to spend $400 on one little ski though. I'm putting a highwrap on an old plastic O'Brien that actually has a little bit of an edge to it, unlike my EPs.

I got some advice from Gary B, one of jbear's buddies and also a guy on my ski team. Position your bare foot slightly ahead (closer to the boat) than your ski foot. I like to put my foot on the water at 25 mph (turn speed) then roll up the throttle. I'm getting more comfortable with 2 feet in the ski at increased speeds but I still like to establish a glide with the bare foot. Transfer more and more weight to the barefoot and let the ski go. You'll see the spray off your bare foot get taller and taller, it's pretty cool looking. Don't look down! If you gas pedal your foot will kick up off the water, now doing a 30 mph back swan or a gnarly backwards ragdoll.

Just like how I learned to barefoot forwards, I went out there and took the falls longline with the step ski. Wearing a neckbrace really helps take the crashes.

Who's the tail rider on the red one? Do you guys cut under or push?

I've been wanting a yellow Acapulco kick ski for a while.
