We use to start on one ski, years back long lining behind our drag boats, the ski was an old

plank of a ski. We removed all the bindings except for the front boot heal piece. Stepping off was a snap,

one foot on the water a quick lift of the ski foot, Bang ski was gone and your at it.

I couldn't tell in the video if that's how they all release or jumped out of both at the same time.

JB, you'd click one the one ski transfer like nothing!

We get up on two. Drop one ski right away. Keep all feet off water until boat gets up to full RPMS. Get the signal from the boat to step off. Pretty much majority of people step off with in a second of each other. Fun as heck.

Just keep the heel really lose, no need to remove anything. Of course, d*** Pope Jrs. skis seem to work the best, but anything will do. I've even stepped out of jump skis before. :)

Stay low and don't look down :) The old d*** pope ski's are awesome for stepping off of. Newer ski's with rocker tend to fly up quick. Almost took a ski tip to the crotch in a step off once due to that.

I've tried to step out of a double boot slalom ski. That didn't end well. Just about any wooden ski with the old style rubber bindings is your best bet.

Our bf drop ski has the heel piece removed from the front binding. I want to put the rear half back on, but my brother who is still a bf greenhorn wants to leave it off. Once you have some practice, you can step off just about anything.

2 ski bomb-outs are a blast too, but may result in a good faceplant

I'll have to find the picture of our drop ski bent in half from when an I/O ran it over when it was floating in the water. From now on, I deep-up whenever possible.

Please Please wait till next year when I can watch this in person..... Oh what a joy it would be....

Yup, that’s that SADISTIC side coming out again..... lol....

As for boots on your ski, just the heal on the front foot is what we used, so easy to step off! lift and separate.... lol... and I don’t mean your Bra….lol…

Wear a cup. The worst part is that if it does hit you you'll probably end up doing a nice face plant too. Throws your balance off. Same ski hit me in the leg once and somehow I ended up in a face plant.

Oh. And just so you know. The typical reaction is more like a clutch not a hold :)

I'm more likely to make a trip to Pittsburgh in hockey season, but I really need to plan a summer TMC trip!

look me up when you get in the Burgh, any time of the year....

if we have snow in the mountains, we can snow ski, if its the summer, we can foot...

a win-win
