I need a "safer" slalom line

[Addictedto6]

I’m not a big guy but the getting up technique has everything to do w/ it more than the equipment itself. I’m a double wrapped skier as well, as I do prefer the drop the hammer as opposed to a the gradual, I am getting used to the gradual pull though. I put the rope on the right side of the ski, as I’m RFF this helps to stabilize the ski. Tuck the ski up to your rear, concave your torso area, and put your head down. Don’t stand up too quick let the boat do the work, but remember to plane out the ski as much as possible. If you feel, things aren’t working out to get up just let go, you’ll not only possibly hit the driver, but hurts the upper muscles for no benefit. I wouldn’t try more than 10 times at one shot, just come back later and try again.

I don't think I'd ever get up doing this. I'm a LFF skier and I put the rope on the right side of the ski (just like where the rope would be between your legs if you had two skis).

I'm with Dude on this one. I am LFF and it's easier for me to put the rope to the left of the ski, but I believe most folks put it on the other side like you CedarLake
