I have been water skiing since the age of 14. Now 63 I am back at being a three event skier; improving my slalom skiing; back at jumping and being more respectfull of the ramp. Maybe with a little help with my friends I will be back jumping over 100 feet. Tricks the most humbling experience, I was fair running a 2,900 trick run in 1986. So now 35 years later it's like I have never tricked before: learning to get up, back front and so on ! maybe I will reach 1,000 points.
I started at camp, my parents encouraged me in my passion. My father connected me with his friend Earl Matthie who was the Ontario team coach back in 1973
