Think that all got started here in the NW. Copilot has to tell him where to go, cool as hell when they miss a turn and end up running out on the grass. Mostly in the Willamette Valley, they dig the courses out of grass fields, no rocks.:D

My luck I'd get the dislexic(sp?) co-pilot and would end up on the grass right out of the hole.

I was thinking the same thing. How the hell do they know in the first place, must have the exact same route everytime. That second video shows lots of crashes, got to bet johnny on the spot or your sucking a lot of water up your personal intake.:eek:

Almost like bobsledding? Even though they are on a course that cant deviate from they still have to know every inch of the course to keep from killing themselves. I cant remember were I layed the wrench I just had in my hand two minutes ago let alone remembering that course and timing to turn.

The skill level to do that is as insane as the turns and speeds. Awesome!!

And you also have to remember that every turn must be made under power because if you lift you don't turn. No room for the timid here. I want to build one of these up but use just a mild 383 or something in it to make it semi sane to drive.

That is totally right any of you who have ever owned or driven a jet boat, no power no turn. Totally insane. Lots of respect for these guys and gals who do this.:beer2:[

Local farmer has one. Lots of fun to drive. Not so fun to tube behind.

Up in the Dells they have 45 passenger Jet boats and just go out and mess around on the rive with them. Heres one of their signature moves.
