Graham Smith Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Everytime I think I have seen the limit of speed for something, someone will come along and put a new twist. Have a look at this video. These guys deserve a medal for high speed navigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermoto Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 noticed there was someone riding shotgun im that boat - besides spending all his time trying not to pee himelf, what exactly does the passenger do in that sport? The passenger directs the driver (with hand signals) through the course. Left turn Right turn, straight etc Similar to the co-driver in a rally car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Smith Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Did you notice that there is a guy (some kind of official?) standing on one of the land masses. You couldn't pay me enough to do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Reminds me of rally cars. Talk about being in the zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Did you notice that there is a guy (some kind of official?) standing on one of the land masses. You couldn't pay me enough to do that! It can definitely get pretty sporty!!! Watch for the orange shirt towards the end of the video. http://www.jokeroo.com/video/extreme/jet-boat-crash.html Edited January 12, 2010 by smokshwn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JQ- Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) I think that is one boating sport that drowning wouldn't be too likely. I think you'd likely end up in the parking lot anyway you crash. Smokin - I should've watched that first...I was right enough AWESOME first person vid <not gruesome> Edited January 12, 2010 by hk_mtbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the very first thing I noticed. Insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I love watching this stuff. What amazes me is how flat they turn - almost no roll in those hulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backroad Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I love watching this stuff. What amazes me is how flat they turn - almost no roll in those hulls. Until the jet pump loses suction from the water, then they roll pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Top shelf aviation units probably could keep up...they have to be able to handle a jet going 150mph and keep them within a few feet on approach. I think the F1 teams were using GPS telemetry at one point as well. I still wouldn't want to be the freakin' passenger/co-driver. Who signs up for that? Yeah, let this guy scare the crap out of me while he gets all the fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Co-Pilot on those things is one step ahead of swinger in a sidecar unit. Both types have a white van waiting for them at the end of the meet to take them back to their happy place. I had a freind who raced on rivers alot, and his boat was a little less manouverable than those but WAY quicker. We nearly got busted one day cutting through a boat club at close on 100mph. They were not so pleased, the local Police never found out it was us but they looked real hard at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
