Anyone planning on going? Care to meet up? Last year I met Danimal and Whitedog (who I haven't seen in a while). I'll definitly be there Saturday with the lady friend so if you would like to meet up, let me know.

Hopefully Sue will be there so she can take some pictures!

I'll be there with my camera taking lots of pics!

[No Skeez]

I will be there in the Redline Watersports booth. We're bringing a handful of boats and pro shop gear, so stop by and ask for the TMC discount! Both myself and Mike (LQ9Lovr) will be there the majority of the weekend, except for when Mad City is skiing! See you guys there!

If any of you are wondering if you want to go to this, I say GO.

The skiing is amazing. To see what it was like last year, this is the link of pictures I took.

Brian...I'll stop by and introduce myself. Hopefully, you'll have some free stuff when I arrive!

[whitedog]

Ryan, I'll be there.
Riding in RAJ twin this year. I'll find you in the beer tent on Sat. Send me a PM if you need my cell #.

I have never been, but looking at all of Sue's pictures I would love to go, but unfortunately because of cub scout camp this weekend I can't make it this year, when do they announce the location for 2008?

2008 D1 Showski Nationals are in Janesville WI. The second week in August.

I went for the first time last year in Janes-Vegas (that is how it is pronounced right Ryan?) and had a ball. It was quite an expericence to see that level of skill, talent, and dedictation. An added benefit was the beer tent and the weather wasn't bad either. I also got to meet and have a beer or thirteen with Dan and Jeff.

Unfortunatly I will not be able to attend this year, I'm taking the little lady up to da nort woods for some skiing footing boarding this weekend. If you can make it, you should, good time gauranteed.

How did you do last weekend Ryan?

[Danimal]

I always have a great time Nationals!! It was great meeting everyone (Ryan, Jason and Jeff) and I can attest to having a beer or thirteen... I lost count after thirteen.

So are you going this year?

[Danimal]

No I cannot attend - I have a big birthday bash for my Brother's this weekend. Their birthdays are the 11th and the 13th of August. I will most likely be at Janesville next year.

Great pictures BTW, sue!!

How did you do last weekend Ryan?

k



15 mile and hour winds all day long didn't make for good footin' water. Long of the short, if you won the coin toss and made your step-off, you usually beat the other person. Longest run of the day was HALF OF AN 8! Most people either missed their step-off or fell on the first turn. The good news is that I had one of the longest runs of the day! But placement wise, I didn't do so well. I'll wait until Footstock to pull out the big guns!

[suedv]

So how do we find eachother. I will be rather obvious... bandana on my head, camera to my face, wearing oxygen. I'm very focused during the shows because I'm after good pictures... between shows I'd like to find you folks.

I'll do that for sure.

[barefoot]

Sue, I'll be wearing an MC hat and shirt. You should have no trouble picking me out of the crowed ;) In all seriousness, if you don't find me first, I'll find you...I'll meet up with Jeff and it sounds as if you've exchanged numbers so we should be good to go.

[suedv]

I'm already packed to go. I bought some extra compact flash disks and extra batteries too. I'm so looking forward to this weekend. This is going to be fun! I'm going to take lots of pictures!

Anyone out that way know what the weather is supposed to be like this weekend?
