I seem to recall in another thread there is no market for those

Wow that is crazzzzzy. I think if they fall in a corner, they might end up land, which would be a very bad thing!

I'm having a little trouble believing those speeds.
When I'm running flat out, lower 90s the shore line is blowing by a lot faster that that appears.

They do it. I have friends that have done it for yrs. It's the real deal and is bad ass.
One of my buddies has owned the unlimited O/B class w/a single JohnRude that he built pulling two skiers @ a 90 MPH average including winning the Bridge to Bridge which is their mack daddy race.


On the Catalina Island comparo, no doubt those guys are studs too but......., 75 in a straight line behind a giant Vee bottom or a buck twenty behind a ski boat through a winding freagin creek bed
Would you rather fall at 75 or 50 MPH's faster than that?

ok...how about this then...they are doing a constant 120mph...(lets just say)....so thats 2miles per minute...and its a straight shot down a river..no bends.....they would have to do that, at those speeds, for 25min to cover the ground of the catalina run....that run in the video was second place at 4min& 50 sec.

Yeah.... Not just no, but hell Fukin no way in any way shape or form no....

That is a 20 kilometer run to determine poll position.
The actual race is 100 kilometers.
Boats are limited to a max length of 6.3 meters.

How long is the Bridge to Bridge?? Thinking that's nearly and hour run depending on class ??
And to Wally, never seen one of their races on a straight river. Pretty sure they'd go somewhere else if that was the case
Go to youtube and search "bridge to bridge" before making your mind up.
