That is crazy!!

[Guapo]

WOW! My question is...what is the co-pilot for? Even out the weight?

[Timmy!]

That looks like a blast!

Navigator ?

[talltigeguy]

Wow! That does look like a blast.

That boat handles like a Tige!

What kind of drive is in that...it is not a jet is it?

[Guapo]

Looks like a jet drive to me. that'd be a blast to drive, but I can't imagine being in the passenger seat...lotta faith in your buddies skills :eek:

[Jason B]

Those are definitely jet boats.
Holy balls those look like fun!!!!!!!!!

[zad0030]

WOW! My question is...what is the co-pilot for? Even out the weight? That and I think one is throttle and the other is steering.

Jet

[Fast1911]

there has to be some type of tracking fin also or I would think the boat would leave the water

[Joeprunc]

Yup Jet boats....and here's what happens when **** goes bad.

[sparky216]

wow, you need a masters degree in navigation to navigate that course.......cool video, is that in Oregon?

[somebodyelse5]

thats so trick!!! i want one haha

[laserfish]

I have seen these videos from New Zealand and the water is so shallow and the draft of the boat and jet are so shallow they can make the courses in the middle of a field with very little work.

Sparky,

If you go to the website, it has a map showing the I-5/Covallis- Lebanon exit.

:ot: I stopped in at SMS last Tuesday to see Joel about some upholstery issues and some new guy was there. I told him to tell Joel he missed selling me the red/black and white RZ2 on their lot.

[kko]

The pass. is just a navigator.Uses hand signals to let him know whats comming up next. I love watching these things go.

Sweet, that is like 5 exits away from me. I'll have to check it out. I saw Joel in the begining of the season and will be there this week to take my boat in for winter work. Are you talking about the 08 RZ2, I think I asked about it earlier and they wanted $60k.......I would have thought about it but we are so upside down in our 24VE that it wouldn't make sense. I am thinking about putting the new graphics on my 07, but they quoted my $900, and that is $900 more then I have for stickers right now....oh well. Is your boat in Stayton right now?

[SPBFAN]

That is pretty amazing. I am sure they are using the Berkley Jet drive to run the boats with. After watching the crashes I figured out that the tower was not for a pro wake boarder but it is a roll cage. :).

[JGR]

Love it, but how the hell do you know which way the course goes???

[LovinPowell]

I think adding a boarder to the back would make it even more interesting. :D

Hey Sparky, Did they not have these races last year in Woodland wa., but were shutdown for noise? permit?...Seems I remember something about this!

[Moki]

I just can't stop thinking how fun that would be invade the "America's Cup" race with one of those!

[b/w05]

Sparky,
My boat is not there. I was in Stayton last week for a footabll game and stopped to see about having some things fixed on mine. Joel is in Hawaii. No new boat for me,,, just looking (my wife wants one but I have to say not now). Not sure if it was an 08 or 09? It's red/white & black.

[NICKYPOO]

Jet sprints kick azz. :ro:

[Nobody]

YAWN!

[Fast1911]

[Domsz06]

the wrecks are the best!

[TigeTrojan]

I vote for a trick skier :D

you know that roll cage is just a wakeboard tower waiting for the ball on top.

[MoneyPity]

Wow!!!:ro:

[zad0030]

I vote for a trick skier :D

[somebodyelse5]

[dingleberry]

Had to bring back this thread when I ran across this video. Here's a cockpit camera view of a crash...notice how close they come to nailing some of the race volunteers :eek:

[KonaKing]

Crazy,
makes me sick almost.

[yllw20]

love watching those.

[tige22v]

That is really cool. But I feel for the poor fool that grabs a rope to trail behind it on anything.

[Pro-Fab]

nope no tracking fin. they look like a 15' aluminum fishing boat with a 500+hp v8 shoehorned in the back with an intake grate and jet drive hangin off the back.

[Shamus]

Holy Sh@#$t...thats awesome!!
