That switch backflip was RIDICULOUS. I've tried landing switch on water skis before and it doesn't work so well after about 2/3 of a second.

always wondered when this was gonna happen. But I don't see a huge market for it. Sick none the less.

those are sweet, but i feel like it'd hurt your toes/shins if you did any grabs that involved crossing your skis

they are reverse cambered and rockered, so tois quite tricky to catch an "edge" on water skis

coming off a ramp traveling in pretty much the same direction as the boat has got to be a lot different than coming across the wake... lots less edge catching involved... although that is still nuts.

If I were a waterskier, I would get these. I prefer to wakesurf though.

Those things are sick. I am going to buy a pair. I wonder if you can get big air off the wake behind a boat like a wakeboard does?
