Busy Day yesterday with the CG Ski show, the USA Water Ski Wakefest at Lake Myrtle and the Hall of Fame. Grandson Jonathan Shumate shot the ski show - GREAT photos!

Sometimes we forget that the parents of famous skiers were pretty good skiers in their own right. Case in point, Bill Grimditch running the slalom course on Lake Eloise in the 1966 All-American tournament. #waterskiing #slalomskiing #cypressgardens #showskiing #waterskilife #lifeonthewater #waterskithenext100 (at Cypress Gardens, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CovTWP_OPyk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here's a question for competitive water skiers, esp. in the Men's/Women's 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 age groups. How many of you did ramp tricks. Tricks on and off the jump were quite popular back in the day, that being the 50's and 60's into the '70's. This Dick Pope, Jr. doing a back approach, Ramp 360 back-to-back and an air 180. Trivia question, when was the last year that ramp tricks were allowed in AWSA tournaments? (The answer? look closely at the pictures...) #waterskiing #showskiing # #trickskiing #cypressgardens #worldchampion #loveblackandwhite ##classicphotography (at Cypress Gardens, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6mMSOaBDb3/?igshid=1vp147w4fgnau

Back before there were drones how in the world did they get these shots? Easy, when the crew from ABC Wild World of Sports comes to the Gardens for the 1962 All-American tournament, just put up scaffolding that goes up a good ten stories... Climb cameraman, climb! 😀 #waterskiing #showskiing #cypressgardens #waterskithenext100 (at Cypress Gardens, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co7x6q_Oigk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
