[colour=blue]Last weekend in Melbourne, we had the Moomba Masters water ski tournament (it is the Australian leg of the world touring circuit). Last night was the closing ceremony with a lot of exibition skiing etc.

I saw the most amazing trick - 4 slalom skiiers, 2 cut left, 2 cut right, the boat does a tight 'S' shaped manouver and all 4 skiiers do a 360 degree circuit of the boat and then resume their normal sking positions. It all happenned so quickly I didn't have time to raise the camera and take a pic or video.

Then their was a guy bareHAND skiing. His feet were in the rope trick thingy and his hands were skiing - unfreaking believable!

Re: Moomba

the bare-hand ski-ing sounds hectic ..... the tight 's' manouver you are talking about is quite simple, although we do it with only 1 ski-er it is fairly easy, with 4, I agree that should take some practise ......
