No, but it's still pretty fun. (I'm probably going to fail here.)

to the guy on one ski...arms straight, less bent over at the waist, equal pressure on both skis, engage the edges more

if you're skiing on one ski, you should be working on slalom turns, not sloppy hand drags....

boat speed is about 35 mph...they are probably hitting the jump at about 45 - 50 mph when you take speed from the double wake cut in to consideration. and yes, the water hurts at that speed...it's more like concrete.

I wish I was better at water skiing.  That water looked so dirty in the first video.

I wish I had a cable park by my house, then I would actually want to learn how to waterski, it's no fun behind a boat.
