one leg water ski
Humility…
Over the years I have done things to try to get the perspective of the skiers I coach. One of the biggest things I have done is to ski opposite foot forward which takes you back to the original days of slalom skiing where your body automatically retreats back to a “safety” position instinctively. Well, when Scott Reardon was skiing with us, we decided it would be a good experiment for me to try skiing on one leg like him. I thought you might enjoy the video links below. The first is a video of me, and the second is a video of Scott…please bear in mind that Scott skis up to 36 mph/58kph at 28 off/14 meters. I had to slow the boat down originally to 23 mph and eventually a little faster to be able to even run the course…humbling, but good fun!

You can see that Scott is an unbelievably accomplished skier. Scott, thanks for the dose of humility!
