Thanks for the link.
Getting air off the wake isn't too hard if you remove the wing from the fin. Brave girl though.
Backward starts, 360's,.... were all very impressive!
Best I ever had on a slalom ski was a reasonable tic tock after a slalom run.

Very cool.

I'd be leary of all the twisting/spinning and tearing up a knee on a bad landing.

My nephew can do the front to back....I'll take pics sometime.

Now if everyone could do this, it would make life easier on the boat builders. You wouldn't need flat hulled ski boats anymore. Everyone would want a wake with a large ramp I guess.:D:D

And sheesh -- the backward starts are something else.

I have a good friend that can do a deep start on a slalom ski backwards, then he turns it to go forward and does his slalom set. Very fun to watch! He smiles the whole time and looks like he is having a blast. We just love to watch him ski!
