Great Pass!

Until someone challenges it I would be suprised if he he makes a run at it.

Where is phenomenon?? They could make a run at it if they can ever keep all 4 turbines running.. Haven't heard anything on it in a while!

I always find it so...odd, I guess is the correct word, that you lose so much sensation of speed from video. I've been on the water looking at these runs in person (obviously not a 224 mph run, but a 209 run) and it is absolutely jaw dropping. Crazy speed. Thing was dialed in!!

I agree, the video still makes it look fast, but it must be nothing like having it go by you in the water.

This is a link to the video of his crash last year after hitting a big wake, If you don't know it's a 50 foot boat, you might think it's a toy RC one, so no big deal. But it must have been a terrifying ride.

Also curious as to happened with it. Its been quiet about it for a while.

i would think you'd have to have a video that does not follow the boat and is close to the same level as the boat...say down the cliff 10' or so off the water and then maybe one that does follow it as it passes...I did see the 209 run from pretty close to the radar location as a spectator...that was hauling the mail...224 has got to be as you said jaw dropping to see in person!!
