Senior Robert Black relaxes in his 1959 ski boat. He's had two years of barefoot skiing experience behind this boat he calls Ska She. XFAXQISQE 9 Black sheds no skin for Waterskiing When people see someone water skiing, it's usually on at least one or two skis. But when senior Robert Black skied, he left his shoes and his skis at home, Black spent many days, within the past two years, on the foot of adventure. Black first started skiing bare- foot in 1985, utilizing his brother's encouragement and a 1959 ski boat dubbed f'Sko she. He taught himself to ski barefoot after seeing people do it in magazines and on television. The first couple times l tried it I wasn't too successfulf' admited Black. lt's a big change going from a long, single ski to your feet. Recently, Black used a Hy- droslide to get started. Most people sit on them, but Black stepped off of it when the boat plained out. According to Black, Seven- Mile Slough on the Delta was his favorite place to ski. MThe wat- er's warmer out there, stated Black. 'lakes are colder and they hurt when you fall. Along with the pain of bare- footing comes a significant amount of danger. Once there was a two-by-four in the water and it went right between my legs, said Black. One time l hit a bank and landed in the tullies. Last summer, Black held a job at Paradise Point Marina on the Delta where he was able to ski everyday. I skied barefoot before work, during lunch, and after workf' said Black. That's what helped me learn so fast. by Troy Movius Freshmen 279

Now, after he progressive- ly worked his way up, he has been told he has the potential to be a gymnast. From his coach he has been told that his continuous practicing and determination could get him to the Olympics. Although he practiced all six events lparallel bars, pommel horse, vault, floor, rings, and high barl his weakest were the vault and floor. Since my weak- ness is vault and floor, llll work harder on those events, but be- cause my favorites were the paralles bars and the high bar, l was always pulled back to those events. by Kimberly Banghart 280 O S
