Most of the recent riders remember Victor “The Slasher” Sheldon riding with the #200 on his race craft, whether it was a Yamaha SuperJet, a Polaris Octane or a Kawasaki SX-R. However in his early years of racing Victor used the #56 as on the photo which was published recently on FB by Vintage Jet Ski. Victor started using his #200 back in 1995 when he raced Ski and Runabouts in the same year with Kawasaki.

According to Steven Dauliach’s official press release, the French 4 times IJSBA Pro Ski World Champion and 4 times UAE Champion, with many more titles won in France and Europe, plans to retire at the end of the UAE 2013 Championship. There is no doubt that Dauliach is one of the greatest athletes of Pro Ski class of all time. We wish him best of luck on whatever he will be involved and we hope that he will keep in touch with the sport somehow...

Frenchman Steven Dauliach the current IJSBA Pro Ski Back to Back World Champion retained his number One plate in Thailand. According to his recent post on FB he won Pro Ski Class which means that he kept the #1 plate he had from last year in this event.

IJSBA Pro Runabout Open and GP Runabout World Champion James Bushell won both motos of Saturday’s races leaving second behind him South African Jared Moor. Bushell did not change the Havasu set-up of his boat and he mentioned that the wheather conditions were very challenging. Overall it was an easy win for him and he looks forward on winning the next day and the overall trophy since last year he had bad luck.

South African Dustin Motzouris, the IJSBA Pro Ski GP World Champion reports from Thailand in his own words “Rough day today, I had a few issues but will have them worked out for tomorrow. First Moto I was sleeping on the start,came from about 12 to 5 in two laps and was feeling good. I came up on Trent Brown down the start straight and we where bar to bar in the corner but I got blown off the back of the ski and went swimming. I got back on way back and made it to 7th which sucked. I also blew my bumpers off which whipped me on the ass for 3 laps. Second Moto I got off good but slipped off the tray right away, I have never done that before. So I started of about third to last and made it to 5th. Not the results I wanted but 2 more Moto,s tomorrow. You can't fight for race wins when you buried in the pack off the starts. Tomorrow’s a fresh start. I keep you all posted. Motz”

“This is how South Africans roll. No pump is necessary” the Motz btothers noted on FB. However we have seen many athletes in Greece using the prototype funnel (cut of plastic bottle of water) since the mid nineties. Actually, Pro Freestyle athlete Mark Sickerling was wondering why someone who has an expensive race boat does not have a proper funnel. Nice photo guys.
