Yeah, there was a buch of guys trying it last year. and none of em could get any grabs and a few tryed spins and always crashed. Just face it, skis don't have enough surface area to launch off wakes...

some guy in waterski magazine can do a hoochie glide which is a huge superman but comes back down instead of front flipping out with a grab on the short trick skis.

yeah those were just regular skis though, they had some guy waterski on them as a joke. I was watching this show and it had this water ski dudes doing grinds on these wake boarding grinds. It was sweet.

what do water-skiers use to do tricks. i mean i´ve tried those small things which are cool to ski cuz they react to every little wave, it´s a good feeling but they ae really unstable and i doubt you could flip on them.

i've thought about it a lot and tried it a couple of times but it just doesn't work like wakeboarding does. you would really have to shorten the skis like trick skis and that would be gay. we should just stick to wakeboarding.

barefoot is hardcore.

now that i think about i think i´ve seen waterskiers use the both-feet-on-one-ski to do (pretty insane) tricks.

but that seems really uncomfortable so i think i´d rather stick to wake-boaridng then.

persoanlly i think that is gay, for one thing it would be extremely hard...if its even possible, and why not just wakeboard.

if you check out either SHAFT 3 or FREE FOR ALL by bump films, in one of them Shawn Murry goes out in a cable park on waterskis and busts out what would be the equivalent to a ralley
