Well actually some one has done it before, two years ago in UK and the ski has raced in Havasu twice. Last year it smoked the competition in GP Ski and if the rider had better physical condition he would have won the race. Though, this time some one –R&R Powersports made official and they have they own version of triple pipe SX-R. Lets hope that someone will race this beast at the IJSBA World Finals this year.

Lat year after the World Finals we visited Jettrim, the famous American company that is based in Havasu and its owner Gary Hart showed us the latest designs as well as some prototype mats. We had the opportunity to get a few sets of those in order to test them. Therefore, after lots of hours spent on the water riding in close course conditions or even wave jumping we found out that the new mats provide superior grip and very good feeling for those who push the limits of their craft every time they go on the water. Additionally, we where surprised of the good quality which under the often use in sea water they do not fade or lose their color and the stitches are in an immaculate condition. All Jettrim parts (mat and side rails) fit the tray very well. Under those extreme conditions the conclusion is that if you want the best grip you can find you have to rely on Jettrim products and the suggestions of Gary Hart and his crew.

Finally, the R&D Ultra ride plate is ready for sale and it is available from R&D and Hot Products USA.
