The PI. Clark and the LBFM's

I'd have been happy to trade the year at Kadena for one at Clark. On second thought, maybe it's better I didn't.

all right you made me do this,i am on the left,the guy on the right is the one i got in contact with after 23 years,i wish i was still that skinny.gold coast bar,angelese city PI.

San Miguel. Breakfast of champions.

Let's all judge another person's parenting skills!

I was:
-water skiing at 2
-driving my Dad's Chris Craft at who knows how young (under supervision of course)
-had my own boat by 10
-driving my Dad's Formula at 12
-45' Viking at 13
-etc. etc. etc.

If this person was doing this around other boats, I'd have a problem. But running like this in the open, not doing anything to anyone else, STFU. It's none of your business.

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.

What exactly does that have to do with driving a boat 75MPH at 11years old?
That's just plain, simple, not nice...Not to mention by your "reasoning" none of the comments here should be any of your business...Do us all a favor and look up the word forum in a dictionary. If you don't get it, ask the girl driving the boat, it's about a fifth-grade vocabulary word.

It was reading about how some of you guys did indeed drive boats at incredibly young ages that opened my eyes a bit to the fact that it's not perhaps so unusual. However, if the title of the clip had been '11 y.o. girl driving a 30 powerboat at 35mph' I don't think I would have been so alarmed - but 75mph? Devil's advocate here but what if something broke at the business end and suddenly brute force behind the wheel was required??

Unless you're from the U.S., it's tough to understand. We're the self-indulgence capital of the universe- at least we've become this in recent generations. We have lots of people out there who were raised by the 60's "free-will" hippies. They were raised to question authority and to ignore anything that interferes with their instant gratification.

Plus, in case you haven't noticed, we've got more than our fair share of really stupid people. See, in most other countries, these people are invisible, toiling away at menial tasks and held in check because all their efforts are focused towards staying alive. Here, things are so easy that even your garden variety moron can do quite well for themselves. They have free time and discretionary income. One of their big hobbies these days is either seeing stupid $hit on the internet and copying it, or thinking up new stupid $hit, doing it, video taping it and posting it on the internet.

And we watch it, and get all bent out of shape, and post our thoughts about it because it doesn't fit into OUR vision of what is acceptable and what is not.

They're getting EXACTLY what they want. So?

Point well made. BUT, what are the guarantees a 20/30/40year old - male or female - would have the presence of mind and skills to react properly? I think we can all agree that anyone with money, not necessarily good sense and the right skills can buy and drive a fast boat. We see it all the time, sadly enough. By the way, and forgive me if I missed it, was it actually proven how fast they were going?
