Once again, packaging aside (see Fundamentals of Cheerleading above), this is a fine introduction to the sport of water-skiing. Using extensive slow motion and replay techniques, the filmmakers cover a variety of different starts and landings, crossing the wake, and slalom skiing. In addition, they discuss hand signals, driving the boat, and necessary ski equipment. There's even a buffoon to show viewers the wrong way to do each move. (One reservation: although the program is safety-conscious, we really wonder about the advisability of showing a beginning skier how to do a standing-on-the-dock start). Recommended. (Available from Norstar, for $20.96).
