Ever hear of the Waterskiing Girl Wonder? Shellie Blum is one bad girl skier who holds (STILL I think) the Lake of The Ozark's record for time on a ski without stopping from Bagnal Dam area

Slalom, trick n kneeboarding was how we spent the summers in Scotland, oh n someone pitched up with a banzai board lol all good fun

Aaaah WOW – reminds me of summers in Maine on the lake. In 1989 I was 16-17 then and water skiing a lot at my parent's cottage. GREAT GREAT TIMES! Thanks for posting this, it's an excellent video and nostalgic, too.!

have you ever heard of Randy Rabe? He was one of the first single skiers in Cypress Gardens in Florida. He would be around 70 years old now.
Stop doing junky hotdog videos. I want to see slalom TRICK skiing not a hotdog! Do something cool!
Tony is a National treasure! Thanks for being the best!!!

I was going to try water skiing once but I couldn't find a lake with a hill on it
Tony, I was skiing the Fox river in Ill. one morning, I had my right foot in my ski, and my left foot holding the rope handle. My hands were behind my head like I was relaxing in a chair. A guy was walking down his pier with a cup of coffee watching me ski with no hands, and walked of the end of the pier. I laughed so hard I wiped out! Great vid. Dave.
I have that ski, a H O fusion
got it a a yard sale for $10
why wouldnt you just wakeboard instead
wow, this stuff is crazy. I want to learn this stuff but I don't want to pay the price of crashing at 34+ MPH.
LOVE these vids Tony~ you were in OK City one time in '87 and borrowed my husband's HO Turbo for your demo at the tourney there, what great memories! (something had happened to your ski, travel wise I think) The Tulsa Water Ski Team was there to attend the event & we had a great time watching you ski, as we have continued to do over the years. Ski on & ski big!
thanks for watching..
yep – that's my uncle Mike – the one I learned from…
Back in high school 1992 me and a buddy got your video, many bruises and bumps became of it. Those were good times , I liked doing the body slide
I remember this article in Waterski Magazine when I was in highschool. Awesome!
this is epic!!!!!
Mike Murphy was one of the first Hot dog water skiers and inovator of the Air Chair
damn thats cool
That's it.. the body slide, how the heck do you pull that off??
The video you watched is the opening montage to an instructional video that teaches how to do all these tricks. I think you are talking about the body slide. Search "Klarich + body slide" or "How to hot dog water ski" to find the individual tricks. I also have them all organized as a playlist.
How do you pull that off at 2:27? I've been skiing for 20+ years and can't do that. Is it boat speed??
