Jettribe has designed two different types of leg protectors, one for stand-up riders and one for Runabout riders. The particular ones-JTG 11418- are specifically designed for Runabout racers. They are light weight due to the neoprene and air mesh materials. Also they feature built-in water drain holes to keep water from logging it down. The Reactive Leg Shield front and side impact panels are made of five layers of energy dissipating materials and two honeycomb polycarbonate sheets. Additionally, their construction includes EVA high density energy absorbing foam and all materials are wrapped in 1680D Ballistic nylon. You put them on by adjusting the two main straps around your leg in such a way in order to secure them in the right place without being too tight. You do the same thing on the upper strap which wraps around above the knee. This, third strap should be adjusted a little bit looser according to the rider’s needs so it will not get tighter when the knee is fully bent. During riding or practicing those Jettribe leg protectors do not move around your leg. They remain in their initial position and practically you do not feel them at all. We tested them over two months while practicing or testing Runabouts and we have been impressed with their unique design, fit and comfort. For $89.99 it is a “money well spent” option for any racer.

John Dady, owner of Blowsion is a close friend to British rider Jordan Fielder who made his supereb World Finals debut back in 2004. Fielder had not managed to find a decent sponsorship and he left the sport. Though he made a come back to Blowsion Surf Slam and this year he competed in Pro Stock class on an SX-R that was specifically prepared by Blowsion. John gave us the opportunity to make an exclusive photo shoot of Fielder’s SX-R along with model Danielle. The particular race craft is for sale under a special price.

The particular billet aluminum foot pegs are designed for the brand new Sea-Doo RX-X. These are custom made to fit the exact dimensions of the original rubber ones. They are made out of billet aluminum and they have been anodised for obvious reasons. If you want to give a “Factory Look” to your new Sea-Doo Riva has the solution.

Gary Hart, owner of Jettrim is well known not only for his passion for Jet Ski watercrafts but his passion for collecting things. He used to collect Nascar replica miniature cars therefore, we do not found it peculiar when he told us that Jettrim handcrafted the seat of Nascar star Kyle Busch. We have seen in the past Jettrim’s office chairs and seat covers for Side by Side vehicles and to be honest the overall craftsmanship and finish is outstanding. No wonder Kyle Busch trusted Gary to make his race seat.

Art Chambers had the unique opportunity to test ride Bullett Racing’s Gen2 hull X-2, the one that Frenchman Jean-Bruno Pastorello raced in Havasu. We did not had the chance to speak to Art but his smile says it all. I would guess that a lot of things had changed since he was racing the X-2’s.

One of the best jet ski riders, Sheldon Messik shows how it was done in the past. Actually, he shows how to ride a Kawasaki X-2 to its 110% limit back in the nineties.
