There is no question about the fact that Jeff “The Jammer” Jacobs was the most talented and phenomenal rider in Pro Ski class. Among his many records, National Titles and wins his outstanding record of ten (10) IJSBA World Titles in Pro Ski class is an unrepeatable record. According to the results we have seen the last 10 years it appears difficult or even out of mind of a young rider to accomplice such a record. There are many young gun out there but also some very capable veterans that still appear very strong in this class. This year our camera captured the Legend of Pro Ski Class Jeff Jacobs (right) while he was chatting with Don Baynes of Kawasaki. He was probably the only top rider of the nineties that he had refused to participate in both Pro Ski and Pro Runabout although the manufacturers were putting lots of pressure to the riders.
