Chris MacClugage wins the US Open of Watercross Pro-AM Ski GP. In the Pro-Am Ski GP class the G.O.A.T. Chris MacClugage had a rough run in moto 1 but rebounded and took his Monster Energy Macc racing rig to a first place finish. Jimmy "Neutron" Cebulski was inspired by the birth of his baby four weeks ago and worked his Hydrospace hull to a 2nd place finish. After a moto 1 win Rick Sherker had a breakage and was relegated to 6th in moto 2, but he rebounded in moto 3 to salvage a third overall.

From the opening ceremonies right into the pro classes, first up was the Pro Runabout Open. Claude Clayton from Tupelo, MS got the nod from the computer and had gate choice and he decided to take the spot closest to the tower and that worked out well for him. He pulled the holeshot and led three laps with Flyin' Brian Baldwin and Dustin Farthing in tow. By the end of the second lap "El Diablo"" had dispatched Baldwin and set his sights on Clayton. ""Tweeker"" did his best to hold off the Monster Energy Kawasaki of Farthing but eventually the Judge Motorsports tuned rig was just too much for Clayton and he slid back to 2nd position. There were a few swaps for the 4th and 5th position which turned out to be where the battle really raged. The National Guard Yamaha of Trey Frame battle for several laps with the number 81 of Eric Francis and their hard work paid dividends because both Clayton and Baldwin missed buoys and that put Frame and Francis in 2nd and 3rd respectively in the final moto 1 standings. Dustin Farthing steered clear of any mishaps and finish solidly in 1st on his Monster Energy Kawasaki."

In Ski Division F1 Jeremy Poret took full advantage of heat 1 winner Jean-Baptiste Botti’s miss-fortune, after the Frenchman was forced out of the race, stopping on lap six having opened up a ten second lead. Poret swept into the lead, 35 seconds clear of the chasing pack headed by Christopher Courtois and Mickael Poret; the duo following Poret to the chequered flag to complete the top three. A win in Runabout F1 for Francois Medori over yesterday’s heat 1 winner Mattia Fracasso gave him the Grand Prix title, with his countryman Jeremy Perez completing the podium after a second top-six finish. In Freestyle, Roberto Mariani and Sebastien Tchernia found themselves outclassed by the discipline’s two showman Valerio Calderoni and Romain Stampers, who both turned on the style with an array of tricks, Stampers turning the tables on the flamboyant Italian, taking his second win of the weekend and Grand Prix honours.
