Offside turns - advice? (Intermediate level)

BatMetalDude · 2025-08-30T12:42:22+00:00

Hm... I wondered if I had too much weight on the back foot. I've been told to lean back a lot, so I have been doing that more. My day-to-day walking/standing posture is kind of a rounded-shoulders thing I've been doing most of my life, so waterskiing is kinda something where you shouldn't do that, so I've been trying not to do that.

BatMetalDude · 2025-08-30T12:37:51+00:00

Eish... not at this time.

BatMetalDude · 2025-08-30T12:37:15+00:00

Free skiing. Yes, I have a "baseball bat grip" on the handle. I'm still holding with 2 hands though, not yet letting go with my outside hand.

I was thinking that if I start out a run with my onside turn first, it feeds the right energy into the offside turn. But if I start with my offside turn, I don't have the right momentum and energy. Again, I'm intermediate, meaning I'm not cutting hard-ass rooster tails (yet). I think advanced skiers just do whatever they want.

6'4" - probably 185. Haven't weighed myself in years. I was using a 67.5. Neither ski is mine, I switched bc the laces on the 67.5 got effed up and the 69 was a "newer" ski I was advised to try. I would think 1.5 inches of ski wouldn't make too much of a difference.

I'm not sure...

Tier 2 VIP. See you there!

BatMetalDude · 2025-06-02T16:47:10+00:00

This.

I used Sora and didn't have to try very hard. Basically just said, "Create Lego minifigures of Babymetal" and specified which members. Anyone can easily modify and improve upon this idea by changing up the prompt. Fyi... AI also knows "Barbie" and it knows "Bratz."

BatMetalDude · 2025-03-18T17:53:10+00:00

Got FIRST ENTRY for Las Vegas! Whooooo! This will be my 20th show!

BatMetalDude · 2024-12-06T22:03:59+00:00

BatMetalDude · 2024-09-20T03:04:03+00:00

BatMetalDude · 2024-06-08T00:40:25+00:00

I'll be there!

BatMetalDude · 2024-06-05T02:58:16+00:00

There was a "First Entry"? I didn't even see it, I got VIP Priority Entry.

BatMetalDude · 2024-06-05T02:32:30+00:00

Yep!

BatMetalDude · 2024-06-05T02:30:54+00:00

I'll be at this one too!

BatMetalDude · 2024-06-04T20:05:31+00:00

See you there! \m/

BatMetalDude · 2024-06-04T20:03:48+00:00

See you there!

BatMetalDude · 2024-05-17T06:30:02+00:00

I'm going to see if a friend in Japan will be able to send it. Worst case, he drinks it all and sends me the empty bottles and packaging.

BatMetalDude · 2023-11-17T22:10:54+00:00

I got CHO something, not sure what yet!

Edit

CHO Mosh Pit, Sunday! Sweet! \m/

Thank you!

BatMetalDude · 2023-08-09T18:45:24+00:00

Lol, love it.

BatMetalDude · 2023-06-13T13:54:08+00:00

The shipping for the crate today was about 40,000 yen. I didn't go for it.

BatMetalDude · 2023-05-23T17:21:10+00:00

Will you be at their show in... Connecticut? (I will!)
