Pro Freerider Taylor Curtis won recently the Blowsion SurfSlam Freeride competition on the new Rickter FR-2 EVO1 watercraft which was powered by a new engine. TC is well known for his unique re-enties which he executes them in such way combining another trick at the same time. Congratulations to Taylor for giving Rickter’s FR-2 EVO1 first International win.

The particular Jet Rib was initially equipped with a three-cylinder two-stroke engine made by a firm called 2 Stroke International, a company that even Williams want to forget all about it. The engine had numerous mech issues and many owners of those boats were extremely upset. However, someone found a really good solution to all these by putting a Kawasaki, 2-stroke engine, complete with the electric box and a nice exhaust-waterbox routine. The problem was fixed and the performance as well as the reliability of the craft was succeeded. Top speed 88kph with great acceleration. The modification was carried out by Champions (tel.:+30210-9405623) and the cost depends upon the use of a 750cc or 800cc as well as if it will be brand new or secondhand rebuilt.

This is the third year in a row that owner of Jettrim, Gary Hart is organizing and putting together all those nice watercrafts in order to remind us the true ruts of this sport. The Vintage Museum will be set up in the Performance Alley at the Hot Products IJSBA World Finals.

Rickter FS-2 EVO1 is equipped with a set of rear sponsons. It is the first time that someone puts such sponsons on a Freestyle/Freeride craft. Rick Roy explains in his own words the scope behind this innovation. “When they are on it rides just like a regular FS-2 it make the rail straight. But when you take them out it makes the rail go up, that makes the nose go up easier for free style tricks ,back flip ,sharp turn. I would say it makes the ski handle something between a FS2 and a XF-S without them. Big surf with sponson small surf no sponson. It gives you the option to customize the ski depending on the conditions and your riding style.”
