equipment needed
hi,
decided to finally give ski racing ago after years of lookin on, an watching an longin to do it
got up fot the first time today on a set of wraps, all beit on a slaom, but loved every second
ive already aquired myself a ski (hopefully) nd some wraps, so i only need a race suit and a helmet
but my crew dont have much
any ideas as to were we would be able to purchsae, life jackets and helmets and possibly and intercom, and advice as to anything else we might need would be greatly appreciated
i also no there is alot of controversy about legality of some helmets as well so any info on that would be most apreciate too
i gather the majority of people who are involved in racing are too, but the budget isnt big as it posibly could be, and any thing that anyone has fir sale, new or second hand would not be sneered at. lol
thanks in advance
chris

im not sure yet
i know that my crew are enthusiatic to try it, but i feel there commitment might not be as i want it
also as your probly aware i can onli ski open class with my boat.
burty has ordered me an intercom etc, so that if i decide not to ski behinde my boat i still have a great training tool
i heard that there might be a possibility that you might be gettin into the sport aswell, and might b looking for a skiier

Decided what your going to do yet mate, as you are correct, as it stands I will be playing next year and will be looking for skier and possibly observer, prefere south west so we can get some good practice time under our belts!! If freedon skis behind his own boat anyone else out there that fancies doing it??
Cheers
Dan
