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.

Multi World and National Champion Frenchman Nicolas Rius was spotted in Havasu Fitness training after his recent accident. Rius suffered an incredible crash during a routine speed run and testing of a racing Runabout. The result was 10 rib fracture towards the back. According to Kay Sykes report on Today’s News-Herald Nicolas starts his training early in the morning with weight lifting and cardio exercise and in the evening he is working on his core strength doing mixed martial arts. Nicolas plans to race Pro Ski Open in order to claim the $30.000 prize money and possibly Pro Runabout too, depending on his physical condition. Rius has not practiced on the water yet but he plans to return in full mode next week (3rd week of September).

Wednesday, 31 August: Jeremy Poret’s hopes of regaining his Ski F1 World title hang precariously in the balance after suffering damage to cruciate knee ligaments during a crash at the French Jet Ski Championships in Avignon. Poret, 23 from St Maximin in France, who won the World title in 2009 now faces a desperate race to get fit in time for the final two races of the year at the UIM Aquabike Grand Prix of China in Liuzhou on 4-5 October, and is, remarkably, now facing a similar injury crisis that cost him the title last year, missing the last event of the Championship and losing out to his brother Mickael. The Frenchman heads a trio of his countrymen and has led the standings since the season-opener in Doha, Qatar and holds a comfortable 31-points advantage over Jean-Baptiste Botti, with Christopher Courtois in third place and Mickael Poret in fourth. The Team Spirit rider has proven the stronger and more consistent of the French quartet, and whilst he and Botti have taken three wins apiece in Qatar, Sardinia and Corsica, Poret has also finished second three times to win each Grand Prix. Should Poret fail to make it to Liuzhou, the race for the title looks to be a two-way fight between Botti and Courtois, but mathematically brings Poret (M), Nachette Armillas and Emanuele Balzer into the equation, but it is Botti who holds the whip hand.
