Baller jhughes Posted July 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 11, 2014 We make a nice weekend out of this every year since we tested the site out back in 2009. Get a hotel for Fri/Sat and enjoy Milwaukee and the tournament. It would be nice to put a few faces with names if anyone else on the board is planning on being there.

Baller ScarletArrow Posted July 13, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 13, 2014 Same weekend as Midwest Regionals... tough to squeeze all that in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller tru-jack Posted July 14, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm heading there for first time. Traveling with another family from Ontario and will be looking for beer for dads and autographs for kids. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Wolfeie Posted July 18, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 18, 2014 Had planned to go this year then they moved the date back from June to August, probably to not conflict with the big music festible which is in June. My daughter goes to school outside Milwaukee and was planning a visit, to watch the open,& play in a coed ice hockey tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted July 18, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 18, 2014 Be nice if they'd do skiing on that pond all summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller tru-jack Posted July 21, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2014 quick question for those that have gone before. will there be a section with manufacturers booths to buy stuff? looking to grab a few things when there. I need a new handle etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jhughes Posted July 22, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted July 22, 2014 @tru-jack There is definitely a good amount of gear there from a variety of dealers and manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller tru-jack Posted July 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 23, 2014 Is there an event beer tent or something similar? I'll keep checking this thread as I would like to meet some people and put a face to the names. Looking forward to trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Lieutenant Dan Posted July 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 23, 2014 Milwaukee is my home town (live in Cincy now) and I would so love to go, but can't seem to justify missing a whole weekend of skiing during the best part of the summer just to watch others do it much better. Man, I am addicted.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleye Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 @scarletarrow Why do they schedule the same weekend of the MWR. Promo guys skiing and having family skiing at the MWR are really put in bad situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted July 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 23, 2014 @walleye lots of scheduling with the city and around other events. It's unfortunate but just the way it worked out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jhughes Posted July 25, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted July 25, 2014 We are usually sitting right on the shore somewhat in line with the jump. If you see a 30-something couple chasing 2 kids around that's us. I'll probably have a waterski-appropriate tee on, MC, CC, D3, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller tru-jack Posted July 25, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'll bring a Canadian Flag for my daughters to wave when Whitney is skiing, and will keep an eye out and drop by to say hi to any ballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller gregy Posted August 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 3, 2014 Nate pretty much put an exclamation point on that one. I was really excited for KC but Nate is dial in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DUSkier Posted August 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 3, 2014 @dbski AWESOME job on the Trophy skis, the few photos I have seen they look amazing. It is sorta hard to keep up with the event with most of it early am here but from what i saw on the webcast it all looked to run pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortenit Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Didn't wait for the motorcycles to pass, would have allowed the water to settle out way longer than usual for an advantage to Nate. Boat judge said they considered it for only a second and then continued as usual. Thankfully it didn't affect the outcome. Boat judge said after his 39 end drop in prelims Nate was chatting to her about random things, totally relaxed. Then just went and ran 41 off. Very cool customer. In the head to head final she said it was great to see both the young guys just having fun talking and enjoying the moment. Awesome performance by KC and Nate. Will be a shame if they aren't back at this site again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dbski Posted August 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2014 @Duskier, Thanks for the shout out on my skis. Got great feed back from all the skiers on them. This was my third year helping out at the Malibu and it gets better every year! The jump final was unbelievable, 238 by Ryan Dodd on the third jump to beat Freddie by a foot. You can watch Nate on video all day, but to see him from the shore run 41, its not right. It looks like any of his other passes! Just a fantastic tournament, great setting, great weather, great organization and great skiing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
