The trophy says it all. Japanese rider Hajime Isahai won on his Kawasaki Ultra 300X in Endurance, 600km race, in Russia. Knowing how hard he is trying every year with different set ups we wish him best of luck at the IJSBA World Finals in Havasu.

Rossi Champion made it to the final stage after winning Pierre Maixent in order to battle with Taylor Curtis. The later presented in to this event some amazingly innovative tricks according to winner Champion. Top Freeriders Taylor Curtis, Ross Champion and Pierre Maixent congratulated younger star Christian Young for his win in AM Freeride and Mark Gomez for winning Pro Motosurf with a barrel role while leading Moto 2. Taylor Curtis has published on Facebook an Underflip Re-entry video demonstrating how amazing the Rickter XFR is. Champion won in a class of his own riding a LightWeight carbon hull craft prepared by Blowsion while Taylor race craft broke down during the contest. On behalf of everyone I believe that we have to thank ones again John Dady of Blowsion who made this event true for another year. Log in to Blowsion SurfSlam web site to look at the amazing photos and the reports related to the event.

Ross Champion will be putting on a show at the Blowsion Surf Slam 2011this weekend you will want to see for sure. Do not miss. Either attend the event in Pacific City, Oregon or log in to Blowsion to find more about it. Photo courtesy: Jon Currier Photography.

Everybody goes Vintage this year in the personal watercraft scene and the IJSBA World Finals is doing its best to be part of it. The IJSBA is pleased to release one of the logos to be used for promotion of the 30th Anniversary World Finals. This logo will be the basis for the official World Finals poster as well as other items. We hope you will enjoy the retro theme. We reached out to Body Glove for a Q.E.M. energy drink sponsorship but got no response, calls to Mobby's Wetsuits were similarly unreturned. We hope you will enjoy the nostalgia anyway. We hope that the manufacturers will also be part of this new Vintage idea too.

2010 UIM Pro Freestyle World Champion, Russian Ivan Potanin will attend the last round of the UIM World Championship in China with the scope to clinch another UIM World Title. During his visit in Greece he mentioned that he would have wished he could attend the IJSBA World Finals too, but there is no sufficient time to travel from China to Arizona since the two events have a few days difference. We wish him best of luck no matter where he plans to compete.

The cash prize money of 30.000 US dollars is a temptation, a true challenge especially nowadays that things are getting tougher and tougher. The last time that Farthing was spotted at the World Finals practicing on a Ski was back in 2007 when he was ridding a S4 with a 950 Miller engine in it. This year Dustin decided to take the challenge of the prize money and at the moment he is practicing hard on his SX-R.

Deven Farthing son of Dustin took part on his first ever Ski race on a stock SX-R at the age of seven. Congratulations to Mikey Young (race organizer) and to Rob Greenwald who lent the Ski to Deven. Take a closer look to Deven’s riding style. If he carries on practicing he will get to podium very soon. Like father like son. Take care of him Dustin... Photo courtesy Ronny McHennry.
