Baller aupatking Posted October 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2015 Thank you so much @Horton and everyone who helped with this event. I had a great time. Next one I'll be able to spend the whole time with you guys. I hate that I missed so much of the non-skiing. Well, my skiing was part of the non-skiing, but I'm glad I could give you guys out there a break. A short break. I'm ready for the next one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Wish Posted October 12, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted October 12, 2015 Great weekend. Wonderful to put faces with BOS names. Mind blowing performances. Wind was not helpful but the skiers that took it to the wind were spectacular. Will be back... Much thanks to @usaski1 for putting me up for the weekend and taxiing me around and getting me familiar with the site. By the way. Did anybody no that he holds not 1 but 2 world records. How many skiers can say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller disland Posted October 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2015 Super fun tournament and format. Sign me up for next year! Lots of people have ideas about new tournament formats, but @horton went out and did it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted October 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2015 We need to stop talking this up so much or all the Ballers who weren't there will want to come to the next one and take our entry spots! Seriously good fun to ski qualifying rounds and second day rounds based on qualifying. It gave me my first taste of what Big Dawg and pro skiers go through every tournament.

Baller usaski1 Posted October 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2015 Oh yes, this was really fun! I think we've crossed the line from "this might become a thing" to "this is a thing!" Also, I've never won any $$ in a tourney before, so that's a new one! super cool! Regionals, Nationals ,and BOS cash prize! Those are the "must ski" tournyes now! I big time thought I was going to take home no $$$, I was wrong! Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MAD11 Posted October 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2015 Thanks to everyone for coming out. Aquaplex was thrilled to host this event and hope everyone wants to come back. We enjoy supporting any event that is fun and helps grow the sport. I believe this format provided both. Thanks to @Horton for making this possible and trying something new. Thanks to HO for having the demo day, which I think added to the atmosphere and gave people the chance to try their new ski. This seemed to be a huge addition to the excitement for the weekend. My gut is there will be a ton of people riding the VTR to PB's. I also thought it was really cool of Wakeye to throw in some units as part of their sponsorship and liked the way John awarded them. Enjoyed the group stopping for a beer after the event and appreciated everyone adhering to my you can have any beer in the fridge except for the Yuengling I smuggled into Texas rule. Hopefully see everyone and more next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted October 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2015 @mad11 - glad to help. Next time you have too much beer and don't know what to do with it let me know! Now back on that diet! Seriously, thanks for everything! You host a great tournament at Aquaplex! I hope to be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MAD11 Posted October 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2015 @Razorskier1 I'm back on it already. Was good to take a few days break from it though. Don't worry about the beer either. There can never be too much. You guys only saw the one beer fridge. There is another one that's is still full. Everyone just had to head to the airport before we got to it. Always have a back up is my rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller TFIN Posted October 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2015 Super fun weekend. Really cool format getting to ski against the MM dudes buoy for buoy. Kim, Marc and the entire Aquaplex community stepped up as usual and made the event one to remember. Congrats to Fennell on his win in the handicap bracket and Willy in the H2H. Really nice to meet all the Ballers and see such passion and on water talent. Horton, you killed it bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted October 12, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted October 12, 2015 Think it was a good idea for Centurian to sponsor this. There was buzz on the shore of the proformance and the looks of these boats. Jay Leach's rig was gorgeous. And if anyone wants to steal it from him he is selling it at a killer and I mean killer price IMHO. If I was lookn..I'd be buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted October 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2015 Ah hell.......... if anyone wants to steal Jay's rig, I know where it's sitting right now. Just hook up and go! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Booze Posted October 12, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 12, 2015 I had a great time. Enjoyed meeting alot of interesting people and fellow slalom nuts. Makes me feels more normal, LOL. Huge bonuses: skied a set with Will, was in the $, and a got a Wakeye! Big Thanks to the Aquaplex crew, HO, Centurion, Wakeye, and last but not least...The Horton.

Baller skidawg Posted October 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2015 First thoughts about the BOS cash dual-The Austins and aqua plex are first class all the way, execellent tournament host's. I could see this format expand for next year into several venues (east, central, west). I can't describe how much fun it is to have so many different skiers with various levels of ability giving it their all. Everyone who skied gave it their all and truly loves the sport. This is for sure an event for the whole family. The sudden death handicap round on Sunday kept everyone into the action. Centurion should definitely making this a series for the 2016 season, by far the most fun energetic event I have attended. I will be back for more. Big thanks to everyone involved one every level.

Baller_ Wish Posted October 13, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted October 13, 2015 @skidawg I have to say going up against you was a little unnerving. Then add 15+ head tail with water droplet bullets to the eyes and speed bump chop. That all went away when you dropped next to me at the other end and uttered something about a proctology exam being more fun. Pretty sure laughing while rounding buoys wasn't the best plan of attack but the nerves sure were gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skidawg Posted October 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2015 @Wish - H2H is nerve racking regardless of who you draw, I was 1 bobble away from an early fall-that was the hardest tailwind 35 I have ever run in my life. I enjoyed the competition. Hopefully next time the wind will cooperate so we all have a better chance to excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted October 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2015 You bunch of sissies! Willie and Caldwell ran tailwind 39s in that wind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Adam Caldwell Posted October 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2015 That wind was stout, there is no doubt about it! It was a good equalizer as it made the "anything can happen" game that much more interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmode Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Mark's record tournament in July, on the same lake, had the same conditions and Most skiers were one pass short of normal except for Nate ran 41 all four rounds in huge wind and chop. Will ran 3 to 4.5 @41 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MAD11 Posted October 14, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 14, 2015 @Beastmode This is Texas although the wind was nothing like it was Sunday in July. We had some wind, but I don't remember anyone's scores being down. Neveu ran 39 all 4 rounds and tied his pb with a 3@41 and there were a bunch of other pbs. Careful how you say that stuff. You will run down our property values. :smiley: Huge wind and Chop? Not so accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skier2788 Posted October 15, 2015 Baller Share Posted October 15, 2015 @MAD11 @Beastmode this is off topic but..... I skied that July tournament and also skied a PB. Great people great lakes. Thank.you so much for letting me into that tournament. I hope I get the chance to ski aquaplex again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastmode Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 @Mad11- my comment was only a reference to How great the top skiers can ski in any conditions. Aquaplex is one of the top Skiing sites in our community! Sorry if I miss spoke about being a pass short, because there were many great scores in July. @Skiier2788-I was relating to the several post before mine about the Tail wind and relating how the Top pros skied the same conditions and run it any. Sorry if I offended anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
