JB is the bomb. Cameras and politics, what else would you expect from a tournament in France? Aaaaaaaa, eeeerrrrrrrr, we just had a world record run but the guys on the AV crew were, aaaaa, aaaaa, they forgot to plug it in. Sorry Jamie.
. . . it was fun! That's what it's all about after all.
"That's all"? That could be a mighty big "that's all." It is my understanding that the IWSF is the ruling body for water ski world records. Am I mistaken? Anyways, I've maintained they should have 3 cameras to validate world record performances in case one camera is kaput. Can you show me the tournament link where Jamie scored officially 2 @ 43' off, the AWSA should have the score on their tournament list, as I think it is a World Cup Event.
yeah, Scinauticando is right. he clearly got through the boat guides after ball 2, with the handle in his hand and with control of the ski, making it 2 balls.
WRONG. if it were officially scored as 2, we'd have a new world record. i've skied tour events and am very clear on the rules pertaining to our sport.
@25three If you get on the outside of buoy 2 and fall, it's 1.25, if you get back inside the buoy it's 1.50, and you have to get all the way inside the boat buoys by number 3 to score a full 2. In this case, he did score 2, but i think he got denied the official record due to some camera problems or something. I still see him as the record holder though.
Jamie is a frekin nutcase hes awesom!!!! at 43 off the rope is 5 feet short of the boy... Thats bloody crazy!! and jamie is way cooler than andy maple
35 off means 35 feet off of a 75 foot rope. 2@43 off means 2 balls at 43 feet off a 75 foot rope. 2/58/9.75 means 2 balls/58kph or (36mph)/9.75 meters (32 foot rope, which is 43 off of a 75 foot rope.
im guessing 2 is how many bouy's he went around, and 43 is how many feet is taken off the 75 foot rope, and the shorter the rope, the harder it is to cross the bouy's, cause u have less time to make it around the next one. lol i dont even waterski and i know that. i wakeboard tho
Correction: You do NOT have less time to make it around the next bouy as the rope gets shorter. The time remains the same. What you do have is greater distance to travel, due to the tighter arc a shorter rope brings with it.
hes a real pretty skier:)

officially scored as 1.5 at 43' off (58Kp/H) 36mph. however, still a superior performance and nearly a world record.
Riddick51PB 2 years ago
no, officially scored 2. The WTO didn't approve it as world record due to camera problems... that's all :)

35 off is the skier from him or from boat?
JuanPaVerde 3 years ago
it just means "35 feet off of a 75 foot rope."
So, obviously, the rope would b 40 feet long, instead of 75 feet...
