Is that cable system common? I mean is there a legitimate reason he would need to change the bouy spacing?

Its a pretty interesting read.

The pully system can be used to help beginners, but normally have two sets of balls instead of a pully system.

I read in an earlier edition of Water Ski mag that Dr. Michaels has been working really hard for the past 9-12 months on going pro and taking some championships.

Some of the pro's kinda laughed at him, saying he's too old to be a pro, so the debate goes back at least 1 year, though if the picture is of the tournament, that's pretty clear evidence - Again, if the picture is of the tourney.

This is going to be fun to see it unfold.

The picture is of the tournament, it is getting really heated!!! There is talk of stripping him of his national records. I just cant believe he thought he could get away with it!
Sad!

I think that is appropriate....I hate cheaters...

It still blows my mind that he actually thought he could get away with it.
