The IJSBA has just received news that amounts to the biggest thing to World Finals and the sport of pwc racing since, perhaps, the whole thing started. Former World and National Champion (and Hall of Famer as well as Hollywood stunt man, pioneer of the sport, and all around seriously awesome person), Larry Rippenkroeger has had his dream come true with his long conceived movie about pwc racing now picked up and starting into production. If it isn’t enough that Hollywood is making a feature film about pwc racing, they are going to start shooting this year at the 2010 World Finals. Spectators, shopping crowds in the vendor alley, pit activity, and racing will all be captured by the camera lens for use in the movie. Additionally, competitors and their pwc are planned to be picked to stage some starts, turns, and race scenes. Larry Rippenkroeger and producing partners, Kyle Collinsworth and Greg Pellerito will be attending this year’s World Finals accompanied by a film crew shooting footage to be used in a feature film entitled “Hot Water”. Larry Rippenkroeger was one of the pioneers of the sport and possibly the first rider to produce a video tape of how to do freestyle tricks. It is good news that he is bringing Hollywood in to the sport that is decaying in a fast mode...

In the main classes, especially Ski F1, Jeremy Poret came from a mediocre start to win the first moto on his FZ950, with the the home pilot Tiago Sousa coming in a strong second place. Mikael Poret, brother to the well prepared Jeremy, who incidentally was leading the race at the half way mark and fell, managed a third place finish with the Japanese pilot Hide Kurahachi right behind.In Runabout F1, and with Franky Zapata having technical issues and being forced to run a ‘stock’ Sea-Doo, Mattia Fracasso cleaned the field with a dominating performance on a very fast Sea-Doo RXT. In second place came the French pilot Jeremy Peree and in third the Italian Angelo Bertozzi. Quinten Bossche, the young Belgian who has dominated since a young age won the first moto of Ski Juniors F3 on his Yamaha Superjet and looks set to add to his other titles. Next on the agenda, night time freestyle show and slalom, which is always a crowd favourite, rounding up thousands of spectators to watch the ‘show’.

Skip Holmes founder of TeamMotoRacing has been giving us his best view and knowledge on the Kawasaki Runbouts for years. His dedicated work and passion on tuning, trying and testing new parts and sharing his knowledge with the personal watercraft community was part of his life. We met him a few years ago while testing R&D’s pulley kits in Havasu right after the World Finals. Last year we worked along with him testing his Ultralite Ultra and his Pro Open Kawasaki projects. We shared information and tuning secrets. Finding out that he is no longer with us makes it difficult to put down on written format all the things we did together. He has been a real friend with true passion and love for the sport. We send out deepest condolences to his family and the persons he mostly loved. He will be always on our heart and minds and we feel happy that we met him.
