Face Skiing

Face skiing has been taking off all over the country, it is the hottest new sport in the US today and the CRB says "strap it up and get out there, you'll love it!!"*

*The CRB in no way endorses face skiing or any similar activity. The CRB is not responsible if you drown because you are a dumb ass.

Lake Trout Carry Out - early edition

Lake Trout Carry Out is what we are currently calling the random link heap/dump/thing/whatever.

Do NOT anger the Bearsharktopus!

• The biggest event of the NCWSA season was this past weekend. And John Horton from BOS sold all his pics to the boys at Water Ski Mag who posted them along with the scores.
  

• Speaking of Nationals, this wonderfully* written piece was posted by The News-Star about the cats from Monroe rocking the house once again.

*written by a 6 year old

• And speaking of Water Ski Mag's new site, which I must say is a huge improvement over their old one. However, it looks suspiciously similar to Alliance wakeboards site. If they grabbed the code and copied it completely they certainly did a better job then I did in 7th grade on that English test. (gotta remember not to copy the name as well!!)
  

• Its football season and so here is an amazing behind the back pass for a two point conversion. Whats that you say? Not waterski relevant? Whatever man. I'm high.
  

• SI.com has thrown some love a wakeboarders way. We would not mind throwing a little love a different wakeboarders way...

• Wake Skate company SlingShot Sports is getting some praise for their use of online social communities to help develop products. cool stuff.

• NBC Universal sports continues its coverage of the IWSF world cup. And here is the main page for skiing on NBC Universals site. It seems that alot of people give the IWSF guff for setting tournaments in crazy places around the world...well ok some of them are kinda odd...but its gotta be a great experience for the skiers to travel to exotic places and what not. Just remember not to drink the water...

• Nautique announced today that the 51st Masters will be held May 28th-30th in 2010. This year maybe the CRB crew will actually make it...we tried this year but got distracted by the Champagne of beers.

• Good reason not to add your parents as friends on facebook. and another.

• Well done website/blog for the US showski team that has just arrived in China for the "Sino-American Water-Ski Performances". The Chinese have been making a go at building show skiing in their country. So appereantly people show ski out side of the midwest. Ill be damned.

Have a kick ass Thursday? Screw it, its the weekend now anyways. Just go by college rules and go party. Here is a pic that Horton posted on the Twitterverse. You know, a little something for the dudes. Ladies? were on the lookout for some beefcake for you too!! Were good like that.

Vids and all that

Does anyone else hate those US Cellular robot commercials as much as I do? If I wanted to watch some stupid mecanical thing make weird sounds I would open the girl friends bed side table...

Damn there are some stupid freaking comercials out there. Makes me just want to beat my head against the wall.

So as I have been forced to turn off the TV to rid myself of the urgh to kill myself.

Man I need to get HBO or cinamax. Oh yea, you cant beat skinamax...

Ok so time to watch some ski vids!

USAWS put up 8 of the 14 shows from the Show Ski nationals from mid August. A little odd that after a month and a half they still only have 8 of the shows up when most other webcasts have everything up within a week or so.

***Damn post fail making me do this all again (I blame Rykerts Dads interweb)***

Being bored at work as often as I am led me to email USAWS and ask when the last 6 would be up, and well this was there response.

ODBF,

We expect the six remaining teams to be uploaded one by one before the end of this week or beginning of next week.

We apologize for the delay.

Thank you,
*edited to protect the innocent*

This was 3 weeks ago...

ODBF + FREAKING 40 degree weather = short temper

so the solution is living vicariously thru youtube vids



Damn that girl can ski! ok now life is good again, time to flip on the TV again...
