We tried our VuVantage backpack this past weekend. With my hip needing hip replacement soon, I wanted some video of me single skiing in case I may never be able to do this anymore. Got some of the hubby too. It's very hard to try to position the camera - got it a little too low and with my...
Got out to the lake Saturday and water was pretty cold for me - had to wear a wetsuit, but I got up on the single ski - even with my hip problems. Woo hoo! I wasn't sure how hard it was going to be to even GET the ski on, but I managed to get it on and get up on the second pull! Throughout...
