The Kiwis are good at that game, in fact it all started down there with Hamilton.<br />I love watching it.<br />After you have owned a jet-boat it is hard to.....well, it is just a great way to travel, and prop boats just arn't quite the same.<br />Mine years back was a Hamilton Jet 32.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

I'm always amazed watching those things! Have you ever seen one crash? I saw a roll-over on some some 'sports crashes' show. That's a scary sport!<br /><br />RF - Your avatar is a hideous sight first thing :) <br />My reply is uncomfortable being next to it! :)

That would be so much fun!<br /><br />You know something's messed up when a boat needs a steel roll cage!

I have watched those races a few times. You can't see it in this video, but the "navigator" usually has his hand up near the drivers face and points which way to turn by flippin' his hand from side to side. It cracks me up for some reason.<br /><br />mags,<br /><br />Mrs. QC just caught a glimpse of RF's avatar. Without flinching she says, "Eeewwww, what's that thing? I would flush that down the toilet" :D

Still little curious as to how that thing holds the turns......<br /><br />I would love to drive one or at the very least see them perform live somewhere. <br /><br />

Did ya' catch the fancy stop right at the end of the video? It's so fast it looks like the video has been sped up!
