Iowa July 3rd 2005
 

AstroPax doesn't ever make it to Iowa, but I found a guy with a big
ol' SLR willing to trade pictures for a pull behind the boat. He is a
sports photographer (on an internship) for a local paper. Took him
skiing and he took some nice pictures.

Summertime fun. Some slalom skiing and barefooting. Both use
basically the same turning form as with alpine skiing, which is why I
love them both so much.

And then the tumble:

We brought this girl with us as well. She was having fun jumping the
wakes on jump skis and this is a great shot:

In sadder news, my old outboard blew a piston. On happier news, I
have a 2006 225 Evinrude E-Tec purchased. Take delivery the day after
labor day! Sweet, sweet engines.

Good pics Nate, looks like fun. I haven't skiied for 2 years now,
starting to go crazy not being on the water. Maybe in a couple weeks...

I think that shot works better on its own than as part of a
series....talk about kickin'it New School...."you should SEE the moves
they're bustin' in Iowa these days!"

Did you think that if you held on to the rope that you would eventually
recover?

Your right, that is a great shot. I like how the water little spray
there is in contrast to the next one where I put my feet in. Its
actually an old move, with a new camera that lets him machine gun
expose pictures for basically free. I only posted about 1 in every 5
shots in the series, and that tumble is very fast. Amazing how many
pics these new digi SLR's can snap through. He had a big pack of
storage media that he kept flipping through, as he kept filling them
up. I was too busy to see what they were, but he will be around all
summer so I plan to do some more investigating. The camera was a
Cannon I believe, not a Nikon like Mikey and Astro use.

He might get dragged along on his front! (like when snowboarders fall over
on the t-bar and get dragged along like bags of laundry).

Top shots.
