Omar Abdulla Al Rachid, 17 years old, from Dubai, is the new star of Jet Ski and Steven Dauliach’s racer. Indeed, it has been one year since Steven takes care of this young pilot since he had already seen his talent during a race. Omar and Maktoom (manager of the Team) determined their objective of the year: win the world championships in Lake Havasu. The tone was given, Steven will have to take him under his wing and make him progress as he did last past years with Almur Bin Huraiz. Omar is of a rare kindness, he likes learning and knows how to give himself 100 % to reach his goals. Hours and hours of work and trainings, Steven and Omar are bound of a very strong friendship and Omar, is rising. In the middle of the year, he reaches a sufficient level and Steven orders him to race in pro ski class. An excellent idea because Omar fights for the top 3 places during races. They finally reach their goal, after one year of hard trainings, Omar won this year his frist world champion title in Ski Limited class in front of Kevin Reiterer. That gave him a big success on TV and Press release. Steven is also very proud to have seen him fight for the 2nd place during the last moto of the Pro Ski class race (class that Steven won and make him world champion for the 6th time). A very nice story has begun and that Steve wants to repete… Special thanks to Omar and Maktoom for all those wonderful moment of happiness together…
