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.

Nicolas Rius went to Jettrim prior his departure to Thailand in order to make a new seat cover for this race craft. What Nicolas wanted was more support from the seat cowl in order to relief his arms form the unwanted arm-pump which is created from his aggressive Turbocharged race craft. Jettrim takes cares of Nicolas’s seat for years and Gary Hart –owner of Jettrim- successfully took care this new challenge.

Another magazine from the personal watercraft scene disappeared last summer. Well, actually we found a few days ago since nothing formal was announced even to us that we were contributing stories to it. The point is which were the facts that drove it to this situation? The market is not so strong as it used to be but still the were many advertisements printed in the magazine. We believe that there were more important issues than advertising income that actually put it out of business.

Some of Kommander Industries new color combos for Team Logos. Initaially those stickers were available at the World Finals however you can still then by email to the company for pricing. Sales@kommanderind.com

At the time being we do not know whether it is true or a joke but we saw the picture published by Hironori Sunagawa in Japan and we found it very interesting. The point is, are there still tuners out there investing on a SuperJet project? Since everybody is working on triple-cylinder Kawasaki’s or four-strokes?

At www.jetskiworld.gr we have tested extensively for two months Jettribe’s JTG 11419 Deflector Leg guards which have been designed specifically for the stand-up riders. Main features: Injection molded Poly Carbonate outer shell, two laminated layers of Neoprene and air mesh sheet, EVA high density energy absorbing foam and Dual 38mm “D”rings, and elastic webbing. When I was trying them on for first time I found it a little complicated of how to put them on since every leg protector has three elastic straps. Though, ever since I got used to it and each one of them was fitted fairly easy. The fact is that those protectors fit properly around your legs and you actually do not feel them while riding. No matter how peculiar your riding style might be Jettribe leg protectors are not moving around (do not rotate) your leg, they keep their original position and provide superior comfort and protection. In the past, another wetsuit company had produce a set of leg protectors however those were not very comfortable and they were protecting only the legs while Jettribe ones protect the knees too. It is a fine product with great quality and superb stitching. Certainly, Jettribe JTG 11419 Deflector Leg Guards is a “value for money” product.
