All the people that have never run a water ski slalom course really have no idea how hard this is and the amount of force and strength it takes. I know! And what they are doing is incredibly hard. My hat is off to all of them skiing with a line that short.
Spent years of my youth skiing and thought I was pretty good... Then I tried to ski a course! :-O (Boy! Did I learn a lesson that day. --as well as a fair dose of humility!) :-D
Love that this popped up in my feed. I’m 65 yo now. I was addicted to this sport when I was in my 30’s. My personal best was 3@ 32 off. What these guys are doing is unreal. Side note: When I was 57 yo I took a friend up on a pull at his private slalom course, I went out at 30 MPH 15 off. OMG it was soooo freakin hard. I only had enough fitness to attempt 3 passes. I skipped the gates but guess how many passes I made of the 3? Yup, you guessed it, zero. Lol Best I could muster was 5 balls at 30 mph 15 off. But I gotta tell ya, it was awesome. I’m smiling as I type this. Phenomenal sport. Sad to see it die.
My brother Shane Meeks was a awesome at this type of competition he was doing this type of competition in the early 80s Shane would even barefoot ski at 75 miles an hour rest in peace brother
hello, can i use your video on my TV Program channel? i am a one of the creative team at TRENDING TRANS7 and of course your channel youtube's name will published too i'm waiting for your feedback, thank you..
A dislocated shoulder from waterskiing ended my baseball career. Every one of these turns makes me cringe so hard. That said, much much props to these guys!
I am a huge fan of Sandra botas, kind of funny we got the same exact name, except for mine doesn't have an S at the end... my name is (Sandra j bota)I was born and raised in Miami Florida born on the waters in Miami Beach. born in Dade County at (Jackson Memorial Hospital).. water skiing slalom Hydro boarding is my favorite! I came close to Barefoot never could stand up LOL.. Love the water the ocean is always a part of my body... It's like riding a bicycle you never forget. I love water skiing and I'm so glad they keep up with competitions with water sports. with it they should use it more than they do today for the Olympics??.. it's awesome to see what they have these days when it comes to water sports and one in medals! God bless all of you keep doing what you're doing! stay on the water! love ya All!!
IMO, the few inches a taller skier may have on a shorter skier is not going to make that much of difference. You either have it or you don't. Besides, I can see no way to achieve this to "even it up".
@@crimdell No, because it's a team sport and a team has players of differing heights. Waterskiing is an individual sport and you could take account of the skier's height when changing the rope length
A better way to compete would be speed thru the course where the boat can go as fast as the skier wants it to and the line can be say 50 feet long and fastest thru the course wins this would also be a better way for jumpers so they don't have to do that crazy angular cut towards the ramp just let the boat drive 65 mph or however fast the ski jumper wants it to go this way they can stay to the left of the boat it would make for longer safer jumps.
These are the best athletes in the world... PERIOD. I used to water ski and play basketball. I have always believed that the slalom water skiing was what allowed me to jump so high in basketball. The amount of force that the legs need to exert to keep the upper body from being pulled forward... is unbelievable. The winner from Indiana could easily leg press 1400 lbs., if not more.
I don't think basketball requires much athleticism lol. Endurance and skill sure. But athleticism? How much strength do you really need? How fast do you really need to be able to run? Basketball requires good genetics more than anything. Soccer football rugby, sports that require agility, endurance, power, and speed.
These ski-ing highlights makes me laugh and giggle so hard because it's exactly how i feel every morning riding my Hitachi Magic Wand Vibrator. LOL. These wands are nothing like the usual half-arsed, wobbly dildos out there. ha ha ha
I skied since I was five a few times every summer. I wasn't very good at it. First time I picked up a wakeboard, I got up and started crossing the wake. EZ. Obviously you have never tried slaloming.

Totally!! So friggin insane what these guys are doing! Slalom since age 11 and cant even go 34 mph thru course
I am able to slalom water ski. But I am definitely not as good as they are!!!
igoski1 iam a skiër i now it
I am Peruavian and I have never seen this sport before and I must say I've just fallen in love with it.
This is as hardcore as it gets but just going out on the lake to carve it up casual is super fun also
I think it started in Australia 🇦🇺
You wont learn a shit 🤣
I grew up skiing. Have a few videos on my channel info are ever bored.
It’s a great sport that takes a lot of athletic conditioning. Look up barefoot skiing
It looks sped up times 100... holy crap...
Well they are going 40+ mph
Holding on from one wake to the other must be really hard
agreed....

The cartel's secret hobby: water skiing.
After two weeks will try my new 2016 RADAR equipment from Radar Skis Latvia ;)
Looking foward try new Butter knife.. ;)
AWESOME!
my record is 6 at 35 off and these guys make it look sooooo easy
Awesome just a dream to be there 👏👏👏
Always wanted to water sky but never was strong enough to hold on to the rope to get up
Ski not sky stupid auto correct
Andy Werner what ? Yes you can ! 🥰🥳👍
@@nonameneeded5722 now i probably could but was 9 yrs old i think when I saw people doing it.lol
I feel like it's more about balance because I'm a skinny girl with not much strength but it was pretty easy to get up if you really focus
My dad used to run 10.25 and he used to be Junior world champion and ranked 14th in the world, his name is Richard Bates
A dislocated shoulder from waterskiing ended my baseball career. Every one of these turns makes me cringe so hard.
That said, much much props to these guys!
So cool. wish I could ski like that.
Button it you little shit

It's 4am on a Tuesday ... Why am I here?
Don’t forget to bring a towel because water skiing you’re gonna get wet that’s why Towelie says don’t forget to bring a towel
If I have a chance, I want to go watch it.
Is it just me or is this one of those sports that you have to be a little extra privileged to get into? No hate, just curiosity.
its just you
Ur definitely right.
You just have to know someone with a fast boat lol
if you want to be great yes you need access to a ski lake
Have a few videos on of me ripping it up on my channel if you ever get bored.

Sandy jean nobody needs to know that information.
dude, let go of the rope! 4:14
He can’t he wears handshoes with grip
Sewer water.......................
When they shorten the rope length, why don't they take into account the skiers height and reach?
Simon Godfrey it's just the skiers advantage. Most of these skiers are tall.
IMO, the few inches a taller skier may have on a shorter skier is not going to make that much of difference. You either have it or you don't. Besides, I can see no way to achieve this to "even it up".
Simon.....You should see it when the MIDGETS SKI...
Should the shorter basketball players have the basket lowered for them?
@@crimdell No, because it's a team sport and a team has players of differing heights. Waterskiing is an individual sport and you could take account of the skier's height when changing the rope length

一个滑程6个标，绕一个回到得一分，每滑过一个滑程收段绳长，最后比谁的绳子短谁的分数高，世界纪录9米4个标吧具体忘记了，以49公里18米，52公里18米，55公里18米，58公里的速度18米开始，16米，14米，13米，12米，11米以此类推的收，你可以从任何一个绳长开始，但是第一个滑程不能失误，失误了只有1-6分，如果没有失误此前每个绳长的6都都可以获得，并且一失误就没有第二次机会了！一般高手都会选择自己比较稳的绳长开始，水平差一点的就18米开始，得一分算一分.，但是这样拉到后面会没有力气的，一般看第一个滑程选择的绳长就知道是不是高手了

Tried this before and I only lasted for less than a minute before falling into the water.
dope
How many G's are these dudes pulling on those turns?
Yes that was my dad and nick
I've never competed but I can ski quite well, not bragging. And what these guys are doing is extremely hard .
Skiing a perfect sine wave is quite hard on all the other waves.

Ski Nautique V.S. Mastercraft? Comment Below
I prefer Nautique for trick and Mastercraft for slalom
We can do all that!
素敵！
😂,
I am very good at water skiing on one ski, but I have a long way to becoming as good as him!

Jeff Tatus nobody gives a fuck how much someone can leg press
No "best athletes" in the world. MANY are great. Get a clue.
clearly you can't water ski...clueless fuck!
so said by a lard ass that has no idea what he is yapping about!

I love it we are going to visit are lake house in a Virginia and we are going to learn how to water ski
Sharon Poindexter enjoy yourself
what lake?

Why were they all falling?
It’s really really hard it take a lot of strength especially with such a short line
@@yamica_2428 ikr the line is so short tho, why?
@@peepeepoopoo4003 To make it hard
They should do a real water sport like wakeboarding
m f wakeboarding is fun but this takes more power and doing it at this level is more difficult period
If it isn’t a real water sport, you put on a ski and do this
I skied since I was five a few times every summer. I wasn't very good at it. First time I picked up a wakeboard, I got up and started crossing the wake. EZ. Obviously you have never tried slaloming.
Michael O'Malley lol gud
Gdwins Gd LMAOOOOO
You’re on some weed mg if u think wakeboarding is more “real” than Slalom.
I haven’t skied in 25 years, my biceps are sore and I’m only minutes into the video
