Who Will Qualify for Masters?

[klindy]

Probably for another thread but I’d be interested to know who people think the surprise DNQ skiers are.

[Horton]

Anyone know who the last trickers and jumpers were to get in?

[CBR51]

Looks like Dorien and Emile Ritter in jump. Fribourg in tricks with 1660 in first round. With Kolman and Dorien being already in he was the only one left. Not sure about girls

[klindy]

Taryn Grant, Vale Gonzales and Augustina Varas (new national record) in jump.

 

Edit: thanks for the reminder @ral

[ral]

I am prerty sure that 1660 for Duplan-Fribourg was as scoring mistake. Does not look like his routine…

 

 

[ral]

@klindy, Agustina Varas, U17 AND U21 Jump World Champion and Junion Masters champion last year.

[APB]

Wow Thomas! Great score.

[prk]

is it confrimed jacinta will not be putting on a show for those nautique folks

[Horton]

@prk unfortunate but understandable.

[Luzz]

@ral Louis has been struggling with a foot injury. He just did some tricks to secure his spot. Hopefully he'll be at full condition for Callaway

[prk]

truely unfortunate but understandable the way the some boat manufactuers treat the elite atheletes of our sport is truely shameful

[brettmainer]

No Dorien Llewellyn in jump?

[Horton]

My entry list is still needs some edits. If anyone has the official data please post.

Looks like Nautique has updated the Athletes page on the Masters website. Likely just confirmed registrants, not all qualified athletes.

[Boo]

Not positive, but looks like Alice Bagnoli and A. Danisheuskaya may have qualified in tricks at Travers.

[LeonL]

Webcast?

[RAWSki]

The webcast has always been accessed thru the Masters website in the past

[LeonL]

@RAWSki thanks. Seems that now days everything is uncertain.

[Andre]

I so wish TWBC would do the webcast...

[ETskier]

I find it interesting that USAWS did very little if any promotions, updates, or results of the Masters Qualifiers. I suppose their Masters announcement might get out by tomorrow. As for the webcast, we can only hope the Masters folks have learned some lessons from TWBC and not do the same ole crappy show.

[dave2ball]

@ETskier you are right. I really hope that Dano person isn’t on the mic. His voice is like nails on a chalk board. Yes I know it is off topic.

[BigGerald3]

Let Dano the Mano call Wakeboarding and turn down the volume! Tony for everything else!

[LeonL]

Go to the events page and look at the officials listed for the Masters. Note the Announcer.

[Jody_Seal]

Dano the Mano!

most of you don't know Dan is a avid trick skier and barefooter.

Dan is very knowledgeable about three event and imop brings energy to an otherwise boring event... you know like slalom!!

 

I won't be there this year, first time since 1992.

I wish all the skiers and riders a great event .

 

[morfoot]

I think Dano and Tyler do a great job announcing this tournament. Dano is no Des Burke Kennedy by any means but brings a different style to the microphone for sure. Many don't know it but Dano is also a well accomplished Yo-Yo Man. Always has one in his pocket and won't hesitate to pull it out and entertain those around him with some pretty impressive tricks. ...Jody, Hate that you won't be there as it's always good to catch up with you.

[Jody_Seal]

@morfoot

 

[skierjp]

@Jody_Seal better get some sunscreen on those feet ?

[Horton]

@morfoot you think Des was a good announcer?

[Horton]

Dan-O is a super nice guy. He kills it for show ski style and wake stuff but I agree that he has the wrong tone for 3 event.

[dave2ball]

@Horton I don’t know him personally. My statement is just about his voice on the mic. I just mute it.

[morfoot]

@Jody_Seal ...Nuff Said! Don't blame you.... enjoy buddy... @Horton ..Been going to the masters since about 92 since I'm only about 2 hours away from Callaway. I did enjoy Des's announcing. A couple years ago he was back in the booth one more time and for me it was like being a younger man going to my first masters. Maybe it was the Irish accent or maybe it was because back in 92 it was an eye opening experience to the world of Competition Waterskiing and his announcing sealed it for me. (Kinda like Howard Cosell on MNF) He was on the beach talking with Nate and I walked up to wish the best of luck to Nate and tell Des it was good to hear him back up in the booth. He brought back memories of the first time I ever went. He laughed and said" Boy, you sure do know how to make an Old Man feel good!. Thank you for that!"

 

I always enjoyed slalom sking as a kid and once the wakeboarding craze hit I bit it. Hung up my HO Ceramic Ski and bought a WB. Did that for several years and even bought my first SN in 2001which was a 88' masters boat solely for wakeboarding (Even has Andy Mapples signature on it). At the 50th masters after watching Andy rip it up out there and then having him autograph my boat, I was in awe again. Dude is older than I am and shreading the course. I put down the wakeboard and picked the slalom back up and never looked back.

[Horton]

I am not sure who the 8th woman's tricker is. Anyone know?

[Horton]

@Gloersen where are you?

[Horton]

Haaa Haaaa Haaaa
