I think Scoke has a thing for the one in the Bikini

[Jody_Seal]

"thats the prop on the Nauti 200 in the promotional tent; 654 Acme not the 422.

Yellow and grey boat"

 Hey that's my new boat! of course it is going to have a 654 it is a six liter! I have not even seen it yet and Scoke sends out some photo of the prop!!! Teaser!!!

[Horton]

Well Jody,

BallOfSpray is now the source for spy photos of your own boat.

This I do not understand.

[unksskis]

It is the Launching Pad, a burger joint that is right down the road (closest place to the site).  It was originally the start of the drive down I-69 I believe.  Really cool place with some history.

 Wilmington has some things, The Launching Pad, Hayden's Bar & Grill, Subway.  All by taking a left at the light and curve into town.

 

Anyone driving back on South 65, exit 220 is Fair Oaks Farms, a dairy farm with fun stuff and food for the families. 

[Horton]

I am unsure about the Center of Pressure on that rocket. I hope the Center of Mass is way forward.

M6 Slalom

[Horton]

Scoke what is this about?

 

[scoke]

 

That was Mens 3 leader and his record setting performance OB with his 2@38. He skied at 11:30am and it was a bit overcast and dark as you can tell.

This I do not understand

[MattP]

It a giant chrome kidney bean downtown. What is there not to understand?- I think it has a lot to do with Nationals. NOT!

[TomD]

I was there monday afternoon.  I think it's an upside-down bed pan.

[Than_Bogan]

Wait, is that "the" Dr. Mike Morgan skiing Open?  If so, GOOD FOR HIM!

Also, I feel seriously old when I consider that I met Tommy Henderson at one of his first tournaments and he was a little kid.  In fact, we were at about the same skill level then and for years I managed to keep up with his progress, desipte him having the huge advantage of youth, but finally he pulled away.  (I suppose he probably doesn't even go by Tommy anymore.)

[Thomas Wayne]

Not to digress, but when I first met Horton he was about 5 y/o, and went by "Little Johnny Horton", though I know he doesn't remember.

TW

(PS: Okay, the "Little" part was probably just something we said, but he did answer to "Johnny"...)

[jimbrake]

JohnJohn

[dthate]

Named after the Country/Rockabilly great Johnny Horton.

[Horton]

I'll ban all of you!

[dthate]

Thomas i'll agree with you on that one, also Johnny Reb, and Honky Tonk Man. Horton are you up to it? 

[dthate]

TW where did you find that 45, do you have the technology to play it? Is sink the bismark on the flipside?

[Horton]

OK funny but back on topic please.

FYI I love the Reverend Horton Heat   http://s0.ilike.com/play#Reverend+Horton+Heat:Big+Red+Rocket+Of+Love:47872:s96740.17869.4587915.1.1.17%2Cstd_0169ff5057563d69c5725eada8adfc27

[skibug]

Is that because your new Strada is red as in...."your big red rocket of love"..????

[Horton]

OK funny but back on topic please.

 Jones gets a new Elite

[unksskis]

Wow!  Noah Vieke wins Men's 1.  Must have been a good event!

[jimbrake]

In that picture of Scot Jones it looks like he just cracked the other guy with his bindings and the guy is trying to stand back up all wobbly. Scot was like "out my picture, fool!"

Carry on. 

[skidawg]

Unfortunately for scot those prodigy's in his hand are mine all mine, no mo Velcro

[Horton]

What? You are getting them before me? You think butt dialing is bad? Wait till drunk dialing starts. That goes for Adam also.

[skidawg]

Bring it on jth, I'll b able to get my hands on u in a month

[skidawg]

Scot, try them on, lemme kno how they fit

[lkb]

Is Noah Vieke that won M1 the same Noah that skis at Chet's a lot? Chances are....there probably aren't many skiing Noahs.

[auskier]

that looks like the new centurion in the pic behind scott. someone get in there and get some snaps! http://www.ballofspray.com/vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif

[animal]

Seeing all the stuff going on at Nationals really makes me wish I was there.  Oh well, maybe next year. 

Just curious, what is everyone's overall impression of the site.  Does it make sense to have it in Illinois again next year?  Does the host club seem to be on top of things?

[scoke]

Yes same Noah. We swapped texts earlier, he's pretty pumped! Might be a tourney pb too? Not sure but close.

[MrJones]

Correction

New Elite for JD. New bindings for Skidawg. "Just opened. Jones' shipping, straight from Nationals to you." No Scoke, don't ask me to haul anything else back. The ski bags are gonna be stuffed as is.

 

[Boody]

Where is Nationals going to be next year?  I heard they do  Nationals at the same location two years in a row, is that true?

Also, anyone tweeting MM today?

[Horton]

I just heard that my dad is giving ski set up tips to some of the MM

[skidawg]

That would b classic, wish I were there to witness first hand knowledge from the father of the bos

[Dirt]

Does he have his file with him??
