I remember watching this back in the 70’s on Wide World of Sports. It looked a lot different back then…no helmets, different skis and probably a lot shorter distances.
Taking a crash off the water ski jump at 100 feet/30.5 m I know is not fun. So when I watched Jaret Llewellyn crashed at over 200 feet/ 61 m it made my stomach queasy. But that is the thing with this sport and everyone that goes over a jump has not always landed on their skis.
igoski1 I had a spiral fracture in my left femur when I was practicing the jump event the year I made Boys 2 and I never got on jump skis again. I just stuck with slalom skiing. It worked out well for me, I ended up getting 3rd at nationals, 1st at regionals and set an AWSA SCR slalom ski record (it has since been shattered but I can say in 1997 I held a record)
@@aemondtargaryen972 That is so cool to be able to say you set a skiing record. At the age of 12 years old I too set a skiing record. It was for speed skiing at 77.586 mph. It only stood for a year but I was the fastest kid on a water ski for a little while.

why do they have to keep the bar during the jump🤨 (pulling them almost side backwards)
But how can they be sure the boat is always going at same speed ?
glbl all ski and wake boarding boats have a cruise control speed setting that you set before even pulling up rider
The majority of ski boats use a system called perfect pass or something similar to control the exact speed of the boat.
glbl it’s the finals you know
Your just dumb
Carson Rubert you’re*

They need to get a landing ramp. Looks like they are blowing out their knees every time.
yeah so then everyone has to jump the same distance!
Knee torture forreal

Get your math right
Fake, not being fooled. These are smokers, they are only doing this as practice for when they raid an atoll.
