This new section of BarefootCentral.com is for everyone around the world to be able to share there coolest photos with other footers.  We all have our favorite pictures that inspire us, send chills down our spines, and motivate us to get back out on the water to do more.

Now is your chance to share your favorite shots as well as see some shots that are submitted by other footers all around the word.

So if you have a photo that you feel should be shared, email it to us and we'll do our best to post if for all to see.  Photos can be new, old, action shots, on water, off water, you name it.  If you have any photo that is somehow related to barefoot waterskiing, and one you feel is worth sharing with the world, send it in and we'll post it.

We have thousands of photos we're going through ourselves and we'll be posting our favorite shots here as well.  Below are a few to get us started.  If you have a photo, email it to cg@barefootcentral.com.  Be sure to tell us who took the picture and why you are submitting it. 


This photo of me was taken by my friend Brittany. I'm submitting this photo because I like the colors in it, and my big cheese-eating grin!  I love footing. Look ma, no padded shorts! ... a mistake I later paid for.   - Michael Waring

I thought this was a neat picture Landen and Kamaryn Ehlers

This is gonna hurt.  The good news is that he's wearing a neck brace.

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. Phil Gustafson - Austin, Texas

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.

Hi everyone! These are the Hungarians: Norbert Hartmann nearly 90 kg and

These photos were taken near the end of March on the Chippewa River in Eau Claire, WI when the four of us decided to try a four-man deep behind a Mastercraft Prostar 190.(Left to right, Brady, Greg, Kyle, Rich) We ended up making it but the boat would only give us about 35mph.  Brady Guth

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.

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 is a pic my dad (Doug Vickers) took of myself on the Mississippi river in St. Paul MN in Feburary. No camera tricks involved.   Mike Vickers
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.
