reserch project

hello everyone


As you know everybody is making a big fuss about the reserch Projects because it will count for ten percent of the final mark in batxillerat.

I really did'nt know what to do for my project until the very last day. At first I wanted to do it about the evolution and designs of waterskis but a load of people told me that I would have a teacher that does'nt give very goos marks, and that put me off doing my project about that.

In the end I chose a diferent subject because of my phisical education teacher, he asked me what I was going to do and I told him that i was'nt sure. So she proposed to me to do it on just waterskiing in general, like explain what it's all about and stuff like that. It seemed like an interesting project so I accepted the proposal. I have been skiing for many years ans have a lot of information about the sport. I even know how to make one because my waterski trainer makes them and he thought me how to do it.




On the right is a photo of the HO A1 This slalom ski was made and designed my the best slalom skier in Great Britan, Will Asher. Slalom skiing consists in go ound 6 marked floatong balls at a contant spped, when the maximum speed is reached the line will be shortened to make it harder until you cant reach the ball anymore




This photo on the left is of the best jump skiier in the world(Freddie Kreuger) These are jump skis, much longer and wider than the slalom ski or the trick ski for better flight. The aim of waterski jumping is to reach the maximum speed at the base of the ramp and get the best lift fhe top of the ramp to get the longest distace.




This is a trick ski. It is a much smaller ski for maximum movement. Specially made for doing tricks like back flips and twists. They are very easy to make because you do'nt need a lot of materials. This type of ski does'nt have fins like all the other skiis so its easier to control .



These are the three diferent disiplins and skiis in waterskiing. I only have two weeks more to finish my project and i don't know how i'm going to do it,
wish me luck.
