Global Invitational video preview series!

So its been a while since I've spoken up on here. Thought I'd share a bit of the scene from Placid Waters today, here outside Grand Rapids Michigan. We have the Global Invitational tomorrow, with the biggest names and best water skiers from all over the world competing under the lights and beaming looks of thousands of screaming fans.

Here's what the Pros were up to today! Enjoy...

Skier v. Skier

So this past Sunday began one of the most unbelievable times in my life. I don't have time to explain it all to you now, but for starters, I want you to take a peek at last weeks episode of MarcusBrown.tv below. Once I am able to put together in words, what happened last week in real life, I will. Until then, enjoy the teaser:

A Skier Looks at 31

I used to listen to Jimmy Buffet's "A Pirate Looks at 40" and think, "wow, 40....I'm never gonna be that old..." Suddenly it comes on the radio today and I realize its only 9 yrs away, if I'm so fortunate to have another 9 years. The closer 40 comes, the more apparent it becomes that life is not about how good you are at something....how much $ you take....or how many heads you turn.

One thing it is about?: enjoying this moment, NOW. "." Just like a favorite old Chinese saying: "One Moment, One Chance....Always"

This guy seemed like he had it figured out well before 40. He'll live on in every person out there who continues the struggle to make the most of life...in whatever endeavor they find passion.

Be one of those people. Don't wait.....

Arne Backstrom died today.
