He does ski early and changes edges somewhat earlier than some other pros. If we cover more distance in the same amount of time, we will arrive earlier at the next buoy.Don't worry about where the buoy is. Chris Rossi Hometown: Barre, Vermont Birthday: 6/24/1976. As less than "gifted" I have to really understand it all. BallOfSpray Pacific Northwest Vice President of Event Management, aka "Zappy"

I've got the 6'2" part down; how's 170 lbs and strong as a damselfly? Special Thanks to Performance Ski and Surf and the Denali Adam's !!! (Nate is super effecient) I personally was a big proponent of super early edge change, however after watching my own video of 28-39 which is on this site, I was changing edges to early because I was loading too early.

Remember, the buoy is not the point where we You feel fast because you are traveling at a high rate of speed, directly at the buoy.Ever feel like you are pulling like an animal and still getting beat by the boat?

I think Nate skis more in front of the slalom course and anticpates each movement earlier or better than anyone else. It is not a good feeling. The Balanced Approach. Chris Rossi Professional Athlete & Ski Designer at Radar Waterskis Salt Lake City, Utah Sports I think I'll stir it up a little for you all. It looks like you're new here. Now passionately revolutionizing the ski industry by building better water skis year after year. That said, it's obviously closer to 45 than to 90, which is (to me) expected. (one side will be more efficent depending on which foot is forward) So what I'm always looking for is to become as effecient as possible. Are you kidding me...Are you really able to accept the fact that you would turn in for the gate and just hold that angle...Even the most basic of principle talks about a progressive gate, which means increasing load and increasing angle.Special Thanks to Performance Ski and Surf and the Denali Adam's !!!

Rich, I agree with what you are saying. Chris Rossi Professional Waterskier, Salt Lake City, Utah. It's the most common reason for missing passes and yet we continue to perform this mistake over and over, expecting a different result...Speed is defined as distance over time. I look forward to reading this carefully at some point. I'm hoping that at 56 I can really put it together and outlast 'em! The exception will be which foot you have forward, that will change the way a skier "appears" as they go through the slalom course. I just try to ask questions when I am not understanding. 1,521 likes. The mission of this site is very simple...To be a direct link between waterskiing enthusiasts and myself, Chris Rossi. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons! Back when I was learning to ski shortline (in the 70's) I would follow what the top pros of the day "said" which was as the line got shorter you waited longer to go, that made me fast and made it impossible to maintain angle off the 2nd wake. LMAO, STYLE is ineffienct in my view, its about being effecient, lets call it "NO STYLE" style, and the more efficient a skier becomes, the more each skier will like like another efficient skier. Rossi's Key to Slalom Gates Controlling that line tension past the second wake is what I take from the @Ed_Johnson perspective. Being in top physical condition is very important ie: strength to weight ratio. Speed is defined as distance over time. It can't be that hard to figure out by "wasting" a few passes on trial and error. Chief Ski Designer and team legend, Rossi has stood atop pro podiums and shaped skiing for decades. At 38 off, it feels like you do nothing as you turn in, but don't you think you have to "work" harder to maintain direction as you get behind the pull of the boat, and that is what people perceive to be the "increasing" part of the equation? The gate should not be a "Constant" Angle...If done correctly, you should be "Increasing" Angle as you go through the gates. (better strength to weight ratio) I plan on working on the "roll in" concept to really take advantage of the pendulum effect it creates. I think Nate uses the momentum of the boat better than everyone else. Nate is super thin and has great strength to weight ratio. I don't assume I know anything. If line tension is not controlled & maintained past the second wake (the “reverse C” concept), then one is along for the ride; casting out … Gloerson has really hit the nail on the head as far as different ways of understanding the same idea. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. I plan on being in 5% better physical condition in 2013 which will enable me to make it appear easier. The timing of the change of direction towards the gates described by

(white water to white water) This should make 39 a consistent pass. I think what Nate is able to do with his body type is be more efficient than Parrish with his leverage position, balance of both feet on the ski, getting the ski up on edge without pushing. Yes there are lots of ways to do it. In addition to Chris's job as the Director of Skiing, Chris handles all technical support questions. Wow, that really does look a lot like me, especially before I shaved my goatee and got my hair cut!
