67

Right - 67" Mach 1, handles it way better than my 67 PSR - due to my power sticks I can't move the bindings ahead or back from where they are mounted. Lucky I"m a lot heavier and can sink the ski pending my stance - probably should be a 70" for me - I just pick up the speed instead.

Me too. Just got me motivated to get back in shape!

Pictures 3 and 4 .......he needs to move his bindings forward. He's really tail riding, wheeling like the fonz!!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Give him a break... He's paying tribute...

Nice pix guys... I haven't ski'd or slalomed in probably over 10 years. (I love to snowski tho... that's how I broke my shoulder this year.) I just bought a really cheap pair of waterski's (They were about $150 - I don't know the brand but I bought them from overtons). Does a good quality ski make a difference? I'm anxious to get out and try it again... Your pix are encouraging... I'll let you know how it goes...

I agree

55"? That seems real short. I have a 67" Mach 1, and I ski a 70" occassionally. In Zad's defense, two of my pics are behind a MC.

Yup i have skied behind them all, malibu, CC, and mastercraft.

55" has to be an error or typo? 10 year olds are starting on 63" right?

Slalom Junkies

For all you slalom junkies I sent John Horton all my notes from the '08 ski test and he posted them. If nothing else it's an amusing read.

Getting better every day

Took him off my PSR and back to a 55" HO mach, seems to have a lot more ski in the water now. Sucks to be getting older - the higher I get, the lower he gets.
