Episode 7 - Nate Smith

[@miguelangelsantillana1524]

Nate is one of the best water slalom skiers in the world. Congratulations Nate!!!! Happy new year 2020 from Mexico.

large skis carry the turn speed - shorter skis are jerkier and acceleration much harsher on the and need to accelerate more. Of course there is a lot more to it. The flex in the ski, both front and back, the shape, so many tiny details make all the difference. I bet Nate has a ski that is specifically designed for him. I just LOVE Nates style - which is unique to him. Shout out to Andy Mapple - not forgetting Deena. Wonderful person. Nate the Great - awesome interview. Thank you for carrying on.

First of all I wouldnt say you learned because of friends but Nate Smith and I were next door neighbor on Champion Lake in Mccordsville,IN Im John Reel a 4 time reginal 1st Place, 8 time State champion and also a 3 time national 3 Placme in salom and AA 5 Place medal in Jump Skiing.. So it was safe to say that me and Nate Smith were Always competing and my biggest regret in life is that I grew away from the sport and I hope That I can compete as good or close to Nate because it could have been 2 waterskiers outta champion lake and there both either number 1 or 2 in the world.. been rambling but have a good carree Nate Smith and good luck

lol this came across extra sad

[@kricker4245]

if u watch mapple his ski flexes, its great for the curve. seeking a mapple pro 67

[@ttb1513]

Are today’s skis more responsive, rebounding quicker from a similar flex?

[@kricker4245]

\\mate how much would it cost me to come there? what could i donate?

[@treborheminway3814]

What's the a2 setting on the boat?? Thanks.

[@ttb1513]

They were talking about "zero off" cruise control at the time, so perhaps it relates to that. I only recently heard of this alternative to "perfect pass" cruise control. If I had to venture a guess, I’d guess it relates to a zero off setting that determines how the boat engine responds to the pull of the skier, tuning that response. Just a guess.

@@ttb1513 sounds reasonable. Thanks.

Yuk Should have ended it on Fred

[@slimetime4668]

Best for last….only reason you say that is because you envy Nates ability that overshadows many in the skiing industry

[@slimetime4668]

There’s a reason Nate has more than double the views of everyone else in the series….cause he’s the shit

[@suzann824]

@@slimetime4668 yeah that's why Fred came out on top as number 1 this year!! 😊😂 Better skier and far better class of human being!!!
