Default Extreme waterskiing - 2 skiers in excess of 120 mph!

Hi!

Check this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggn2v...&feature=share

Two guys waterskiing at the same time in excess of 120 mph on a river in Australia. See the awesome accelleration and stability of the hull doing turns in excess of 90 mph ....

Holy ****!

Cheeers, Toffen

The really amazing part is the top 2 teams at these events are 5-10mph faster!
This hull is a Connelly and is quite old now (but immaculately kept and looked after) and doesn't corner as fast as the new Force hulls, you may have noticed the hull porpoise in the corners, the force just glides.
These boats are capable of 150mph (with no skiers)! 21' boats and 1500hp twin turbo engines, built to live! Makes some of the shoot out numbers look slow!

You guys do know what would happen if somebody fell at that speed right? CPR is problematic on a chest full of broken bones. Big nads? Yes. Smart? Not so much.
