Being a fan of show skiing is an exhilarating experience, but have you ever wondered what it's like to trade your spot in the crowd for a place on the team? Joining a show skiing team is not just a decision; it's a plunge into a world of thrill, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments. Let's explore the unique reasons why a fan of show skiing might want to take the plunge and become a member of a show skiing team.
If I've heard it once, I've heard it dozens of times. When I ask a new team member how they ended up joining our show ski team, more often than not, it's a simple answer. They came to a show, thought it looked fun, and inquired about joining. That's it. It's an interesting sport that looks like loads of fun. People join because of that fact, and then discover, it really is fun. Fans sitting on the sidelines witness the excitement, but being a team member means diving headfirst into the heart of the performance. Feel the rush of adrenaline as you become an integral part of gravity-defying pyramids, intricate swivel routines, and high-flying jumps.
Ever wondered what it's like to barefoot or master the art of swivel skiing? How about riding over that jump ramp to the sounds of a cheering crowd? As a team member, you'll have the opportunity to learn and perfect a variety of show skiing skills. Coaches and fellow teammates provide support and guidance, turning you into a versatile skier with a repertoire of impressive moves. Show skiing teams aren't just about the tricks on the water though; they're about the family formed behind the scenes. Joining a team introduces you to a network of like-minded individuals who share your passion. The friendships forged on and off the water create a bond that goes beyond the thrill of the performance.
Every show skiing team has a rich history and a legacy built by passionate individuals. Becoming a team member means contributing to this legacy, adding your chapter to the story of a team that has entertained audiences for generations. It's a chance to be part of something greater than yourself.
While being a fan of show skiing offers its own set of thrills, joining a show skiing team takes the experience to new heights. From feeling the rush of the performance to forming lifelong friendships and contributing to a rich legacy, becoming a team member is an invitation to immerse yourself in the incredible world of show skiing. So, if you're a fan ready for the next level, consider taking the plunge and becoming a part of the action!
Here's some ways to turn that dream into a reality:
First, and I might be a little biased, but read the brand new book that will give you an inside look at show skiing, called, "Ripples of Excellence: The Art and Spectacle of Show Skiing." You can order it at showskibook.com, or even Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and Lake Elmo Sports, the premier Show ski equipment provider for nearly every show skier.
Second, consider searching for a show ski team near you. Of course you can Google that phrase, but you could also head over to usawaterski.org and search for affiliated clubs around the country.
Whatever you do, stop sitting on the sidelines. Show ski teams would love to have you, no matter your skill level. I have to say, it's one of the most welcoming sports I've ever experienced. That could even be why I literally wrote the book about why show skiing is so great. C'mon out and give it a try.
