Then year after year he acquired the most outstanding titles and records : 1981 - Gold Medal in the Los Angeles World Games; 1982 - Freestyle World record-holder ; World Champion from 1985 to 1986. At present, he is training for the World Championships which will take place in London from the 17th - 20th of September 1987. Let's wish him the best of luck.

(On the numeric keypad). THE GAME A menu appears on the screen from which you have to decide how to play the game. For example, whether you're playing with a joystick or keyboard (and with which keys), whether you're playing alone or with two or three players, which event you want to begin with, etc. Playing with the Joystick : To select the symbols from the menu, move the joystick in the desired direction and confirm by pressing the FIRE button. Playing with the keyboard : To select the symbols from the menu, use the cursor keys and confirm by pressing the space-bar. If you want to redefine the keys, click on the first symbol at the top of the screen (the arrows). Number of players : Select the number of players by clicking on the different symbols. Click on the one on the right where you can see 3 skiers if you're playing with three people, or in the middle if playing with two and on the left if playing alone. N.B. The different players must play one after the other. Then type in your name. The All-Round Test : If you choose the all-round test, you will take part in three events one after the other (jumping, freestyle, and slalom). The three separate events : You will only choose to do the jumping, the freestyle or the slalom. Next to these events, you can see the symbols which represent podiums. They will give you the best score recorded for each event. 1. THE JUMP This event is divided into two parts : - Approaching the ski-jump: The only command needed is acceleration (->). - The jump itself : Use the directions <- and -> to balance the jump. N.B. You have three attempts. The best will be taken into account on the score table. 2. FREESTYLE This event takes place on two courses, each being 20 seconds long. You have to reach a maximum score by doing the different movements one after the other. These movements can be made in the centre of the wake or on the waves made by the boat. To move the skier sideways, use the keys <- and ->. The movements are obtained by pressing the FIRE button and a direction key or the space-bar and a direction key (or the keys that you redefined). Make sure the fire button or space-bar are held down whilst the choice of direction is being made. Movements in the middle of the wake : 180° STEP 90° 90° \ ^ / | 180° <- -> 180° | / v \ 360° 360° 540° Movements on the waves : 360° STEP 180° STEP 180° STEP \ ^ / | 180° <- -> 180° | / v \ 360° 360° 540° N.B. With the keyboard you can obtain the diagonal directions by pressing two keys at the same time. Explanation of the freestyle movements : 90° is a side-slip. 180° is a half-turn. 360° is a complete turn. 540° is one and a half turns. Some of these movements can be done using the STEP method. That means that the skier puts his leg over the traction rope whilst rotating. 3. THE SLALOM This event takes place in a vast stretch of water. You have to slalom between six buoys from left to right. N.B. You have to go between the first two buoys (they call this a gate), and above all, between the last two at the end of the course. The buoys are very easy to recognise because they are close together. As you go along, you will restart the course with a shorter rope. To begin press DEL. COMMANDS To loosen the rope ^ | To go left <- -> To go right | v To pull the rope N.B. Any time you want to return to the menu, press ESC. CHAMPIONSHIP WATER-SKIING is an INFOGRAMES production.
