Water Skiing

I think that it is so much fun to water ski! I think the best places to go in Kentucky we go to Dale Hollow! It is so smooth there. I am now trying to learn to slalom ski, it is a lot harder to try to get up on one ski than it is on one ski! Well I need some tips if anyone knows how to slalom ski. Please give me some tips! Well, I have already tried to make the left ski loose and drop it but every time I try to I fall! I also want to learn how to do jumps on skis, but I'm too chicken to! lol I also wondered if it is smooth outside of the wake because it seems very choppy.

HEy!! I have just learnt to solo ski. AT first I was tryin to drop one off like you, but I found that alot harder cos I couldn't get my balance. So I learnt by starting off on one in the water. It takes a lot of strength in your arms to hold on. But when your up, your up! You just need to hold onto the rope really hard while the boat pulls you up. Also oull back when boat takes off so it;s the one pulling you up! Don't try and stand up right away! I also keep my bottom foot out of the holder and put it in when I get up, but I know some people keep their foot in. I think it just makes it easier to balance with one foot out. Have a go and see if you can do it! It took me a while to get up, but when you do it once, you can always do it again! goodl luck!

well it is usually really smooth outside the wake.. a lot of times even smoother than inside! I also can give you a few tips on how to slalom ski because i can slalom very well! First of all when you are dropping the ski make sure you put your hips forward adn shoulders back like you are standing straight up on one foot almost and dont let your shoulders go farther than your hips otherwise you are almost sure to fall if you are a beginner! Also when you are going over waves bend your knees just a little bit (just a ful tip: thats what got me over the waves at first )! well thats about all i have for ya! WATER SKIING IS AWESOME! ttyl
