So this weekend I went up to a waterski tournament a little south of Bakersfield. It was an interesting weekend, to say the least. I sucked up the slalom, literally throwing myself at the first buoy after realizing I bombed my approach angle. I did better on trick, however, managing to stick both 180s and a couple of slides before I wiped out. I'm now burned, and a little sore.
