Perfect water for a side slide whip! Taken in Black River Falls Wisconsin, even smiling! Mark Froemke
The photo is a little blurry, but it was right at dusk at the end of a relay across our 27,000 acre lake. The handle is tucked behind my head and about a half a second after this picture i bailed hard at the finish line. Jordan Speros	Hey Chuck! I'm a huge fan of freestyle thanks to you guys. I just began to attempt some freestyle moves this summer, and as the end of the summer was drawing nearer, i began learning side-slides. This is a picture of my last run in Three Lakes, WI. It was a brisk, cold day and my buddy and I figured id be best to wear hats to stay warm, since we had no heater shirts. This is me doing my first one foot side-slide on the boom. Thanks a lot, Adam Berger

My name is Michael and I'm from Queensland, in Australia. I'm sending you a pic of me taken by my girlfriend Jessica on Australia Day 2009. It clearly shows me about to stack it hard, but for me it shows me that I should never give up, just like the "I get knocked down" video with Andre and Zane, Flipping out of the Boat does!

This picture is of Jessica Parker from Marysville, CA taken by me, David Naddy. I thought it would be cool to post this picture because two weeks before this was taken she had never water skied, wakeboarded, kneeboarded or barefooted. In the 4 or 5 times she went out she learned to double ski behind the boat and trying to jump the wake, kneeboard crossing the wake and trying to spin around backwards and getting up on a slalom ski on a 8 ft rope off the boom. This was the first time she tried to barefoot, she tumbled around and she popped right up and she will be on a short rope soon and that is when she will get her own barefoot suit. The best thing about the pic is her smile, when she goes out skiing she has so much fun and is always smiling.

The following pictures are of my son Tim Wise II. After watching all the videos put up by Andre and Zane, he has learned to barefoot and even taught some of his friends how. He went from being barely able to ski on the boom for 7 seconds to doing tumble turns and front one foots long line. Here are some pictures of him on Norris Lake,Tn throwing some spray and doing a butt glide. The pictures were taken by his good friend Parker while I was driving. We call it the unknown barefooter.
This is �Hobie� Joseph Gilley on Jackson lake in Georgia. It took only one try for him to deep water start and start showing off. This was summer of �07�. Now he is doing even more at 14 yrs. Old.	James Weber - Crandon, Wisconsin BFC Footer of the Month - March 2006

John and Daniel Hill enjoying a Lake Powell morning in our new Eagle suits.	Australia - This is a photo from our ski trip of March this year. Love the fog coming from the glass under this slide glide. This shot was taken at dawn right before a 300 merc outboard came zigzagging past towing a biscuit. The water wasn�t the same all day.

I'm Brad Kegley, sendin you some photos from the Crandon, Wisconsin Water Ski Shows. The first picture I'm coming in from the successful flying dock, and the 2nd photo is a picture of me doing a flying dock. Previous to the 1st successful flyer, I was pulled WAY to hot off the dock and was yanked off. -------------------------->>>>>
Attached is a pic my wife, Erica, took during the filming of the �Secret Spot� on the Brazos back in 2003. What you don�t see is that I showered an HD video camera worth God knows how much when I passed by just a couple feet off the swim platform as we skied by. Needless to say it made the film.

Who says 3-Eventers can't show ski??? Andre, Keith and Heinrich skiing over you doing a pyramid at 47 mph, while Chuck Gleason drives to line them up. If that doesn't make you pucker up, nothing will.

From 1982....This photo was taken when I handed my camera to one of the girls in the show. We were performing in a Ski show on Lake Martin, Opelika, AL. From Left to Right, Jeff Howorth, Bob Mahnke, Steve Fontaine, and "Can't Remember" All 4 of us actually made the start and a complete show loop, two shows in a row. Estimated height 35 to 40 feet!	I took this picture the morning of the 2004 Austin Dam to Dam. It�s a real cool shot with the fog in the background. I had the good fortune that year to ski with Team MVS. The picture of Team Ski Pro East was taken from the team MVS boat. Bruce Rivera
Hi Chuck - Dave from LSL wanted me to send you this barefoot picture for the website. Paul Bryant	Chris Morrison just off the ramp. Picture taken by Chuck Gleason. Location: Tarre Marre Lakes, Houston, Texas (July 2006)
My wonderful and very understanding wife took this picture of me in early June 06. She was nauseous and ready to throw up from "riding backwards in the spotting seat" while taking this picture. Unknown to us it wasn't the riding backwards that was making her sick. The next morning she figured out she was pregnant with our first child!! Seth Novak	Hi Chuck my name is David Mcgavin from Australia we love Footing down here. I have 4 mates that love it as much as I do so we get in as much footing as we can. A few lessons from the Legend Brett Sands don't go astray either. I have a heap of great photo's I will round a few up and forward them on, I think this is a great idea .I can look at photo's of other keen footers all day. I don't know if you can post this one or not? I will get some others together soon. Thanks for the site we love I down here. Best Regards David Mcgavin
Just saw the photos section on your web site. Here are some pictures we took early this year. Jordan in the blue and red suit took some bribing to have a go. After we taught him to foot, he moved on to slalom skiing. I�m pretty sure he still hasn�t tried doubles. We are all from the Kentish Aquatic Club, Tasmania, Australia. Greg Hind
	Hi Chuck. Three years, when the girls were 11-12 years old, I suggested a "cheerleader" pose for the ever popular toe-hold pic. As you can see, Elaine was receptive of the idea, but Shannon pitched a fit. Said she didn't want to look like a sally. Thanks, Blake Heller.
Mathijs Zielman doing his first side slide. He is thirteen years old and skies in the Dutch barefoot team I hope you like the picture. JAN TER WEE from Holland	Kudos to David Harper!. Shot this while driving Doc Kutun last week. Best shot of Doc on one foot.
These two photo's are of my 58 year old dad on the boom bar, I believe this photo is worthy because he is 58 and my dad. This is his third attempt at barefooting. I took the photo of him. We are from Australia. I hope that you enjoy the photo as much as I do. Travis Bacon

This was taken by Paul Snell on the Mississippi river in St.Paul, MN on Thanksgiving. 3 hours to cut ice for 6 guys to get one run.	This picture was taken back in 1998 I do believe. It's the "Communist" Randy Mikolai (my cousin) firing off some tunes with a toe hold.
