Parks Bonifay the water baby

Brian B. · Posted: Jul 14, 2003 2:23 pm Post subject: Parks Bonifay the water baby

I was just watching real tv and there was a baby on there that could water ski before he could even walk. Then to my disbelief it said "little Parks Bonifay's parents were professional skiers, so they were eager to get him out on the water"

I managed to take a snap shot of the tv with my digi, sorry bout the bad quality.

He was a trick skiier in shows when he was like 3-4 right?

And he also stuck about a 12-14ft air raley off a 2up at age 12-13.

So simple math says I will stick my switch double mobe in approx 12 years! Very Happy

on now see this i think the show was had another baby at 6 months skiing, and they said he broke the current record holder by 9 days, so im thinking the current holder was parks, so apparently his record was broken...

that's bad A$$...I didn't start on skis, I started on the old plastic sleds called, "Hydroslides".

Perks to Parks, if want to be best, start young!

The person that took over the record from Parks was Chad Briscoe, son of Dave Briscoe and good friend of Parks. Chad actually broke the record with Parks there, it was actually staged a couple of years earlier that they would try and get Dave's first kid up to beat the record.
