Trick Ski 101
So I was just happy to win the silly Ebay auction...the trick ski I won is 42 inches (not to mention it is very 80's) I weigh 175 lbs. I am gonna go out on a ledge here and suggest that I need a larger trick ski?
Anybody have helpful hints they would be willing to share with a beginner?

Not that I'm any good, but the ski does seem small depending on the width, and charts are hard to find, even for the new ones.
I just use mine a few times a summer to screw about, so no real hints on the use.

Deeping up on a slalom trick took me a while to figure out... be patient. The thing just does not want to track until you get a little speed going. I spend most of my time on a pair of 44" Conelly's but do goof around on one occaisionally still. I deep up with both feet on the ski and find it helpful to let the edge of the ski rest against the rope for the first few seconds. It just seems to help hold the ski steady...
I don't know if you are one to drag a foot during a deep up or not, I never could figure out how to do that start on a slalom ski any way. I have noticed that I drink more water on the start if I am directly behind the boat versus off to one side or the other. Might want to goof around with putting the rope out to a 45 degree angle or so. I think the action of the boat climbing out to plane has a tendency to lift the skier also. Sometimes when I start in this way my face does not even get wet!

No picks, just me and my daughter. But I am done with the trick ski. It'll look good on the family room wall.
