    Ahhh Ed,

    You're bringing back such memories of detassling corn growing up.

    -Losing your shoes in the mud
    -Steam coming off you when the sun breaks
    -Corn rash from head to toe

    Mike,

    I am a slalom fanatic also and have a 2003 outback. I don't have a wake plate but what I can tell you is that the Outback was built for slalom! Skiing behind I/O's as a kid I would say at...

    Sled,

    Don't worry - I don't think anything will ever replace my love for slalom! The other day we were out to dinner and sat on the patio next to a little man made pond that I was staring at. My...

    Been to Red Rock a few times and it is nice. If it weren't for proximity I'd go there over Saylorville anytime. But I can be on the water on Saylorville in 10 minutes.

    I like Rathbun as well -...

    Ed,

    I'd love to hear his impressions on the outback V. I am a slalom junkie and always will be but I am a dying breed in my family - don't even have a tower (yet).

    My wife finally got me a...

    Chad,

    For starters - looks good. I'd say one thing to work on is bending your knees in the turn and especially the pre-turn. Your front leg is locked so it is pushing the front of the ski to...

    Agreed - one thing I do to counteract this is to make sure to start my edge change right as I reach the second wake. If my angle/pull was good enough I've carried enough speed to get plenty wide and...

    BensonWdby,

    I'm definitely not west coast - I'm old school. I would say I'm fascinated by the whole counter rotation concept but it just feels too awkward for me. I have hit it somewhat right a...

    Deerfield,

    I think he's talking about rotating your upper body so that both shoulders are more evenly facing the boat instead of being turned sideways. If you look at her pictures you'll notice...

    Sled491, I agree on the versatility - I've skied about every DD also. Driver technique never mattered in the past (15 years and 25 lbs later is a different story)!
