i know most of you hate water sking but this is pretty funny either way, this guy set a bunch of world records and won the malibu open or something but his course was rigged so it would pull the buoys in closer on his set, heres the article.......

That happened on a private lake (Lake Lynn Loiuse) about 15 minutes from where we wakeskate in Wisconsin. crazy

i don't hate it at all... and dr. michaels was in a big article in waterski a few months back.. on his self proclaimed "world record" sets... for his age and all he is a pretty damn fine skier... cheating... is unforgivable... they should never let him ski a tourny again...

This site has the before picture. The second picture has been changed, it was the after picture and all the buoys on the right lined right up. Pretty obvious. I can't believe someone had to be so childish to cheat so bad. Very pathitic.

I looked at it for like 10 min trying to find a difference, and then I reread his cryptic statement about how they took off the "after" pic on the website Laughing

the guy that cheated who owns the lake, Dr Micheals, is a dentist in my home town and has since gone into hiding, what an idiot, he has got a ton of money so I don't think it matters if his practice shuts down but the lake that he has is sick, there are burms all around it so the water never gets that choppy, the pics from the tourney were probably on the windyest day of the summer...I gotta try to find this guy and tell him to let some noncheating wakeskaters onto his lake since he may not be skiing much anymore
