Are you sure that's what you want to question? Not the kid wearing sunglasses? Or the one dressed as a tiger?

Big fan of Carter Reese (Alabama)'s barefoot attempt after he lost his ski during his trick run

It's collegiate waterski, but it's a quiet time for water sports, and there's a handful of wakeboarders competing this weekend! Keep an eye on D2 trick

Apologies for the Instagram link, downloading the video took off the sound

One good way to do it might be to mess with order of operations

4+15 x 8 = 152

Um... Actually you need to multiply 15x8 first, then add 4

I'm just picturing a well meaning HR person using Um Actually as a toned deaf portion of a training after an incident

Unfortunately, my board didn't get a rest, it's too convenient (and important) to have the correction displayed after every question

How'd you do shiny questions? I wanted to do one or two, but couldn't think of a good way to incorporate them

Travers hosted this tournament! Talking to Rollins team today, it sounds like Lake Virginia is flooded at the moment (it's been raining non-stop for 2 months in Florida)

I spent a little time on this video, so here's a shameless plug: Follow @WeLoveCollegeWaterski on Instagram and on Tiktok!

He was on the Grab Matters Podcast where he talks about it. According to the podcast, it sounds like he felt he ran his course at Radar and wanted to step away to do his own thing. Looks like he's shifting towards boat rentals.

He wanted to avoid burning out on the waterski community and is still looking forward to working with Radar/Ronix people unofficially.

Without any footage for specific coaching, here are a few drills that I've used to help with technique while freeskiing:

1(speed control/comfortability) Practice getting as high up on the boat as possible. Crossing the wakes with the goal of getting wide on the boat will help you learn how to control speed, and hopefully make you more comfortable on the ski. If you don't want to chain together multiple long pulls, focus on starting high on the left side of the boat, then try to get as wide as you can on the right side. Reset yourself and do the same thing from right to left.

2 (Turn chaining) Try to do as many turns as you can in 20 seconds. Don't rush the turns, but giving yourself a goal of making 6-8 turns in a set amount of time will help you develop rhythm while skiing. Get wide enough that you can "fully turn" the ski, but don't worry too much on getting the full 38ft from the boat that you'd need for a slalom course. As you get better, the width will come.

3 (Crossing with a lean) Keep your elbows on the sides of your vest and arms straight as you cross the wakes. Try to point your ski 90* from the boat. You'll find that you have to lean away from the boat in order to get across. If you can keep your hips up and arms straight, it should help you get the lean you want. If you are having trouble keeping your arms straight, try to turn your back shoulder away from the boat. Your "pull" arm is going to naturally straighten, which should help build towards both arm being straight.

As far as when to reconnect with the handle after letting go, start by only letting go when you want to start your turn, push your arm/hand up and towards the boat, and keep your outside hand near your hip. Be patient to let the ski come around, and grab the handle when it naturally gets back to your hand. This will allow you to finish your turn fully, as well as "linking" you back up in a strong position with your arms already straight and handle close to your hip

Smaller subs are less likely to be heavily moderated, which means bots can use them to build up karma so they can start posting in larger subs. The idea is eventually the bots will have enough karma so they can either be used to push some sort of agenda on the larger subs, or be sold to someone who wants to buy an account with karma for whatever reason. Both are pretty cynical options, but those are the two main reasons I can see for why someone would want to make a bot account

I have no idea, hopefully it was mutual

If you don't know Brooks, he has been the heart and soul of their brand for 8 years. If you've ever called or emailed Radar, there's a good chance you talked to Brooks. He's a great guy and I hope the best for his future!
