Nightmare at Liquid


Wazz up,

Been having a sic week on the water cant complain with anything.

Last night the Nightmare pulled into the car park so, once seeing it i couldn't resist. i managed to talk my way into getting it in the lake for a jump set. Although i jumped behind this boat at the night jump it was a completely different set.
i had no pressure more than just three jumps to get use to it. Compared to the boat i am use to the nightmare had an endless amount of power, which was great but my timing was all out of place. Non the less was sic to ski behind such a world class JUMP boat. Huge thanks to Will from Mastercraft for the sic set!


Had a sic slalom set this week also running the 12m line for the second time this season and skiing 1@11m only 1 buoy behind my personal best. Tricked much the same the last few days landing my flip sequence starting with my front flip so planing on putting that at the start of my run for worlds. still needs a little bit of work but i think I'm able to do it.

until next time
Rip it up!!

Pics Finally







Whats up....

Although i have lost my camera some friends had taken a few snaps from the club champs on Sunday. So Check them out!!!



Slalom went well running deep down 13M line. early as you like into 5 but rode a flat ski which pulled me narrow so unfortunately was unable to ski into the 12 m line. My practice scores have been getting deep down the 12m line so its all on the way up for Mexico!!!






As I previously have told you my jumping has been going well after slowing down the boat speed to have more control on my ski's. Taking a jump of 48 meters at (54km) on Sunday which is, believe it or not, bigger than most of my jumps all season at 57km. which i guess just goes to show the faster the boat doesn't mean the bigger the jump.



As for my tricking was more of just a fun set on the weekend showing a few of the different flips to the people on the bank. still been nailing 5 flips which i was able to show the Spiked team on Thursday but an finding my front flip super difficult right now. I'm not quite getting my edge right so the load i need is not quite there. but no doubt i will figure it out next week after the weekend is over and done with.
I will have to sort of a camera in the next few days so you can all see what i get up to on and off the water. Until then
PEACE!

Photo shoot

Hey all,

the past few days have been great fun. starting Sunday with the club championships at liquid leisure. got up early with Jutta Lammi and rode my jump skis a few times before everything kicked off. jumped will to i have slowed the boat down to give me more control and it worked for me i went 48m in the comp so was happy with that.

Really enjoyed today some of the team came down for a photo shoot at Liquid Leisure. Jumped on my trick ski and threw a few flips which was great. even landed a rayley on my trick ski. ha ha good times. Didn't jump super great but still enjoyed it all.
was great to hang out with the spiked team and to see Ollie and his sister hit the water.
A huge thanks to the team from spiked and look forward to seeing how it all turns out!!

Also just got an email to say i will be skiing for New Zealand in the Australia/New Zealand Challenge to be held in Auckland New Zealand in January. stoked about that one!!

until next time..
Peace
