Babies as water skiers
Young age is the best one for learning water ski.
At the beginning it’s all about a fun.
Later person can choose as to be his hobby or to play professional.
I was playing professional water ski for 7 years, before I came to USA.
Today
Some of my friends till today
compete on international
championships.
Events in water skiing
There are three competitive events in traditional water skiing:
Slalom Tricks Jump
Slalom It’s the most popular water skiing
discipline. The slalom course consists of 6
fixed buoys. The water skier follows the tow
boat through the entrance gate of the slalom course, pass around the outside of all 6 buoys and proceed through the gate, until he misses a buoy or the gate or falls.
The speed of the boat is increased every time skier passes 6 buoys.
The objective is to pass as many buoys as possible.
Tricks It’s like Freestyle
Snow Skiing. This type of Water
Skiing requires good balance and athleticism. The objective in this
event is to make as many figures as person desires, knowing that each of the figure has its own value. The skier performs
during two 20-second passes.
Jump
The skier has the right to make 3 jumps. A jump shall be scored
when a skier passes over the ramp, lands and skis away.Only the length of the
jump will be considered as result.Skier must reach the
longest possible distance in order to win the match.
Accidents in water ski
Water ski is a lot of fun!Unfortunately, sometimes it
can be dangerous.The most time accidents
happen during jump, which is the most spectacular for audience.
Here are some good photos!
Pyramids
For show purposes professional skiers prepare special performances.
One of the most amazing are pyramids.
The more skiers participate, the most spectacular pyramid.
Professional skiers try to bit a world’s records
Like 122 skiers behind one boat!
Finally, they didn't make it because nature also has something to say!
