The 2012 Liberty Cup in Colonial Beach, VA was a fantastic success with the largest rider turn out of the year. Sunday's Pro Am Runabout Open class was a wild affair with Monster Energy Mountain Motorsports Yamaha rider Dustin Farthing rebounding for boat issues to win both motos and take second overall. The story of the day, however, was the consistency shown by Champion Powersports Sea-Doo rider Brian Baldwin. Baldwin went 1-4-2 in his motos and took home top honors this weekend. We had a new face on the podium with Dean's Team Yamaha rider Abdullha Alfadhel putting his Kuwait Airlines boat on the box for the first time this season. We had another first time winner in the Pro Am Ski GP class in the form of Kommander Industries Blowsion rider David Redinger. Redinger took advantage of a broken exhaust pipe on Jimmy Wilsons Judge Motorsports OptimaRacing.com ski that put him at the back of the pack in the final moto and netted him a third when the results were tallied. Our second place finisher was the wily veteran and owner of the Hurricane Racing Team Bill Haig. Bill had a ton of praise for both of the young riders he squared off against but was very happy standing on the podium again. We had another awesome freestyle exhibition with both Jeremy Parr and Jason Stoyer going huge. The judges were very impressed with Parr's landings and he was able to transition for trick to trick without hesitation. Stoyer put together a triple helicopter combination along with a flip 360 but that wasn't quite enough to best Jeremy's 29.0 and Parr got the win. Gary Burtka put together a nice 2 minute run that included a back flip and settled nicely in the third spot. Breakage seemed to be the order of the weekend and the Pro Am Runabout Stock class was no exception but Neptune Racing Sea-Doo rider Troy Snyder was able to overcome a fifth place finish in moto one by winning the last two motos for the overall win. Erminio Iantosca picked up a spot in the final moto which put him in the number two spot on his Hydro Turf Riva Racing Sea-Doo. And Dave's Auto Body Kawasaki rider Eric Francis made a late race pass in moto three to narrowly edge out Monster Energy Mountain Motorsports pilot Ryan Hardwick for third. Special Thanks to the Colonial Beach Chamber of Commerce along with all the people, businesses and organizations that helped to bring the Hydro-Turf UWP-IJSBA National Tour to Colonial Beach, VA!

A new all-girl team has joined the fast-growing P1 AquaX Series, with the squad making its debut in the championship’s third round in Eastbourne this weekend. An X Factor finalist from 2009, Katy Bullock (Doncaster) has teamed up with leading British jet ski racer Anya Colley (Long Eaton, Leicestershire) to form the new outfit which is racing against 20 other riders in the East Sussex town as part of this weekend’s Eastbourne Extreme festival. Although Katy - pictured above left - is an experienced motorcycle racer, she has never raced at sea or on a jet ski. “I’m addicted to the thrill of speed, so when I was asked if I’d like to form a new team in AquaX with Anya I jumped at the chance”, said the 20-year old promotional model. “I know it’s going to be a tough start but I believe the skills of balance and control developed over the years on my motorbike will help me cope with the ever changing conditions at sea.” Katy has been riding off road motorcycles since the age of 5 and started competing in the exacting sport of Trials before moving onto the daredevil world of Motocross racing. “I’m the mud girl of the duo”, commented Katy, “whilst Anya is the water girl! Motocross is really exciting but also quite dangerous, so I’m hoping AquaX will be a bit safer.” Teammate Anya- pictured abiove right - is an ideal mentor for novice rider Katy as she starts her career racing at sea, having won numerous jet ski titles including world and British championships despite being just 20 years old. “I’m also in love with speed like Katy and now want to have a go at motocross racing”, she said. Backing for the team comes from motorsport mad Simon Wing (Newark) and his JTW Joinery business. Rally driver Simon also plans for Katy to take part in the daunting Isle of Man rally later in the year and is also thinking about racing in AquaX himself this season. Simon made his powerboat racing debut this year as navigator in the Edox Swiss Watches Panther 250 in Powerboat P1’s headline championship which runs alongside AquaX. The JTW Joinery team makes its debut today in the Eastbourne Grand Prix of the Sea race meeting, before racing in the Solent at Cowes on 25/26th August.
