Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Botti competed in two classes in Havasu, Pro Ski Open and Pro Runabout Open. However he got hurt in Moto2 of Pro Ski and he could not conclude his great appearance in both classes. He actually almost got highsided from his race craft and as a result he twisted badly his right angle. When he was fully inspected in France he found out that he has cracked the tip of the heel and also he got a torn ligament. We wish him good luck and a fast recuperation.

Jettrim has been perfected the illustrated seat cover for the Sea-Doo RXP-X and the company prepared more than 100 seat covers during the World Finals. According to Gary Hart, owner of Jettrim, the race seat cover features a built in hub that keeps the rider closer to steering system. As he mentioned this year the crafts most probably were much faster since most riders required an extra support in order to keep their body closer to the front. It is worth mentioning that 85% of the seat covers in the start line of Pro Runabout Open at the Hot Products IJSBA World Finals 2012 class were made by Jettrim.

Jettrim presented for third consecutive year the Jet Ski Museum in the Performance Alley during the 7 days of the Hot Products World Finals 2012. It was a great set up by Gary Hart owner of Jettrim which took almost three days to prepare the whole booth. According to Hart this Museum gets bigger and bigger every year and more people are interested in to learning more about the roots of the sport.

Victor “The Slasher” Sheldon was invited by Rick Roy to test his new Rickter XF-S hull and the Slasher attempted successfully to do a back-flip. A whole new experience for Victor who did in the past a lot of Freeride. Slasher was amazed about the fact that this craft could be lifted easier high up on the air.

Fuzzy is one of the greatest riders in the surf and he was well known for his spectacular moves and tricks back in the nineties. He is a engineer working and developing parts in Kawasaki, KMC. He appeared in Body Beach to rest ride some crafts and he had a go on Rickter’s new XF-S hull as well as on Trinity Composites new Vector V-Bottom hull.

Kommander Industries and Trinity Composites sponsored rider Mark Gomez tested Rickter XF-S by Ninja hull at Body Beach right after the World Finals. Gomez is satisfied very much by his Trinity Freeride craft however he mentioned that this was a unique opportunity to test other people’s boats.

After winning Pro Ski Open Frenchman Steven Dauliach appeared at Body Beach for testing Rick Roy’s new Rickter XF-S Ninja hull and motor package. After a few minutes the young rider managed to do his first ever Rickter Invert (i.e. back flip). A fact that shows that the new Rickter hull can turn anyone to a Freestyle rider.
