Any in the Seattle area know of a good place to practice in the off season.

I was checking out the Seattle pools, Queen Anne etc. They have 1m and 3m spring boards. Fun for learning but water jumps and tramps are better. Does anyone know of any other options for vert practice?

Thanks!

you never used skis on a diving board?..

I will catch up with you guys in the spring regarding that water ramp. That is very cool. I just moved to Issaquah and am a little antsy to start riding.

Thanks!

do shtuff on the trampolene or diving boards.....it might not be the most useful thing to get the real skiing feeling (but it does help).....and it helps alot with air awareness//
