Usually it's yea we were running on the river at 100mph over the weekend..
Aussies are like that's cute...we were doing 134mph
oh yea pulling 2 skiers..
Looks like over 100 for 5 minutes of that top was 134!
Like watching them and the other angles like them ripping by at 130+ is pretty wild
Every damn time tho all I can think is don't they have large animals with big teeth floating around down thereLETS GO BRANDON.... LETS GO BRANDON
Sometimes I talk to myself...then we both just laugh and laugh

Going at that speed does the ski heat up? I know that your feet get hot bare footing, but what about friction at over 130 mph?

Amazing skiers, badass boat, very talented driver but can you imagine being the spotter. I trust absolutely nobody at speeds like that let alone facing backwards.

Isn't that the backwater stuff where they are dodging trees etc. and the driver leans like he's in a side car? That's pretty nuckin futs also.

Do skiers have any safety devices other than pfd and helmet/ goggles.?
Kevlar reinforced ballistic "diaper", maybe?
130+ mph "water intrusion" gotta be horrific on the body.

It was a growing sport and getting a lot of coverage until Sarah Teelow crashed and died. RIP
Skiing at speeds beyond 40mph is unwise imo. Too much riskHydrostream dreamin
