During summer it was published at www.jetskiworld.gr exclusively the presentation and the mini test ride of Ivan Potanin’s (left) Freestyle craft, the Force IP5. The person who was actually involved in to this project was the famous race craft builder and tuner Frenchman, Pascal Barriac (right). Although, this hull was designed initially exclusively for Russian Ivan Potanin and it was not for sale, Barriac informed us today that there were many athletes interested to this hull and production is already on its way. The test is published under Race Tests section and the contact details of Pascal are also mentioned.

The R&D engineering staff has spearheaded another industry first. We are proud to introduce the new Revolutionary R&D Super Clutch Drive Gear System. This is the first Yamaha Drive Gear that features a clutch system. The Super Clutch Drive Gear has a “Double Action” 2-way clutch system that utilizes an “Oil-Loaded” Friction Disc Design which cancels and neutralizes constantly changing rotational mass energies, and aggressive moment-of-inertia shock loads that cause premature OEM Sprag clutch and gear failures.The R&D Super Clutch Drive Gear System is CNC machined from premium billet steel alloy, heat treated for Bionic strength and hardness, precision ground to strict aircraft tolerances, and polished for a low friction finish.This system features a unique billet steel Gear-Hub design that uses a high pressure through-shaft oiling technique to lubricate the drive gear bearings and clutch friction discs. The 50 tooth Drive Gear is also machined from billet steel alloy, heat treated for ultimate strength and hardness, and the tooth profile is CNC precision ground to Yamaha specifications. The clutch surfaces of the gear feature special “oil-holding” wiper slots that provide improved oiling to increase lubrication to the clutch discs. Knowing the detriment to the Sprag clutch of a heavy Drive Gear, we designed the Super Clutch Drive Gear with 6 lightening window pockets to have the least amount of rotational weight. The complete system tips the scales at only 382.8 grams, that’s 15% lighter than the OEM Drive Gear. The clutch discs are precision machined, heat treated, and ground to exact tolerance utilizing only the finest materials tested and proven to be the best in these type systems. The clutch is adjustable for any boost pressure. This is a bolt-on clutch up grade. There is no machine work required to install. The Super Clutch is compatible with all years of OEM Sprags clutches and all OEM or Aftermarket Yamaha supercharger shafts. Technology and Design performance make this Super Clutch the finest and most effective clutch system available. Performance Features: • Heavy Duty, Bionic Strong, Billet Steel Construction, • Heat Treated, Precision Ground, and Low Friction Polished • Super Clutch 2-Way System Eliminates the Forces that Cause Premature OEM Sprag Clutch and Gear Failures • Adjustable for ANY Boost Pressure • Through-Shaft Oil Pressure Lubricated Bearings and Clutch, • 15% Lighter than OEM Drive Gear Rotating Mass, • Directly Replaces OEM Drive Gear, • Compatible with all years of OEM Clutches• Compatible with all OEM/Aftermarket S/C Shafts, • Easy Clutch Adjustments with Supplied Tool Kit, • No Modification Required to Install, • Now Available, call for pricing

Lately Jettribe has surprised the personal watercraft riders and enthusiasts with its unique and innovative products. One of its latest products is the illustrated helmet collar. According to Jettribe this particular accessory limits side and snap back motion during a fall from a personal watercraft while wearing a helmet. It is equipped with an elastic front and rear Velcro system that allows greater flexibility. The rider who uses a Jettribe RS-16 race vest can easily connect it directly on to it. The particular collar fits nicely around the neck, it is extremely lightweight and does not minimize the neck movement at any direction. Possibly a stand up rider might have less mobility on its neck only when he/she leans too much and his/her body (and his/her neck) is in an extreme angle. But his happens only in the holeshot buoy or the first couple of buoys on a racecourse and it depends on rider’s riding style. When you wear it you do not feel it exists round your neck. Stand ups and Runabouts are very fast nowadays so give your self a brake and protect properly your neck. Wear Jettribe’s helmet collar even when you practice.

Jean-Bruno Pastorello flew to Havasu in order to race at the X-2 class. He had bought a new X-2 that it was equipped with a Bullett Racing hull and a highly tuned engine. The Gen2 hull according to his sayings had changed the overall performance of the boat. The lightweight feeling of the hull as well as its new design and features needed more practice from the rider to benefit its advantages. After the World Finals we had the opportunity to inspect his craft when we visited Bullett Racing premises.

Jetskiworld.gr pays a tribute to IJSBA 30th Anniversary of World Finals by publishing some unique photos from Pro Freestyle. Take a look at the real action on the story featured under the Features section.
