oh fuck, that wuold be a mess if somebody actually attempted that. but yah, regular tow in to 180 is definatley the safest route to follow. my buddy tried it last year and there was jsut too much torque on his body while being towed, and he couldnt do it, he ended up in a ditch with a bruised ego

its possible for sure, just hold it to one side of your body, look far over your shoulder and lean the fuck forward and away from the tow rope and your golden

Are some skiers trying to copy snowboarding?

Tanner: There\'s a small group of people that are doing that, but I think for the most part, there are a bunch of Rollerbladers and skiboarders that are being gay.

i've tried it, failed, and settled for 180 to switch after dropping the tow....much safer

its possible, but i wouldn't try anything huge, cuz almost every time my friends tried it, they ran over the rope and ate it hard.

Me and my friends took an atv and tied a water ski rope to it this summer. I have a big pond on the side of my house, with alot of grass space to speed along side of it. My friend put on some old rock skis and i pulled him multiple times across my pond. One of the times he turned switch on the water. It worked for mybe 5 seconds, then he at that shit because i stopped and watched him fall. HAHA
