  • Shakopee-Prior Lake Shockwaves Water Ski Team members, left to right, Tim Fitzgibbons, Dani Henned, and Erik Gorsuch practice a barefoot pyramid on dry ground while Pat Caldwell and Sara Bahnsen spot them from behind.

During the actual act, Dani wears a helmet because the only way down from a barefoot pyramid is to bail off the back at high speed.
