IJSBA has secured a new vendor for the 2011quakysense World Finals. Anyone with a long career in racing knows the value of having a good beach stand. There is now a durable new product that overcomes all the weaknesses of yesterday's scissor stands while providing all of the convenience and portability competitors need. Premier Outdoor Products manufactures lightweight, modular and portable boat and PWC lifts (www.theswift-lift.com ). The Swift Lift is the only truly portable lift and will easily breakdown so that it can be transported. We recently introduced a smaller version lift that is suitable for Jetskis. The unique design of the Swift Lift Jetlift is that the modular components allow for quickly adding optional components such as adjustable and interchangeable legs, shop wheel kits, large and small pneumatic wheels, beach and heavy sand wheel kits, removable shop-shelves, winch kits, and ATV hitch assemblies. So the Jetlift is designed to be the solution for servicing, storage, transport and water use of a Jetski. We expect to see and operate those Ski stands at the World Finals and make another report on them.

Take a closer look at the recent Hydro-Turf gear. It has the same colors as the graphics. This is a very nice job that enhances the overall aesthetics of this race craft. Make sure to check the latest mats of Hydro-Turf on their booth at the World Finals.

This one of a kind carbon Trinity hull that will soon be equipped with a triple 1200cc, Kawasaki engine. It is the latest project of Steve Webster and we look forward to see it in action. Webster has used Trinity hulls in the past either for building close course race crafts or Freestyle boats. As Steve has promised we will test this hull in the near future.

This is a special impeller made for the Kaneko’s SXR by SWF Racing Performance in Japan. The point is that this one was design for the triple cylinder engine that replaced the original twin motor. Hiromasa stated that the knew impeller provides a very good feeling and improves the overall performance.

Japanese company HKS well known for its Superchargers have also developed a series of Spark Plugs for four-stroke engines. The current spark plugs are still under development and testing with the scope to release them in the market next year. For the time being the tech spec of the new plugs have not been announced. Our fellow journalist from Japan Seiji Uchihasi recently posted the news on his web site, www.jetter.jp and on Facebook.

Is multi-world Champion Minoru Kanamori teaching his daughter how to handle the Kawasaki SX-R? Well, there is one thing for sure, that if the young kid likes jet ski racing, she has two great parents to teacher how to become a National and World Champion. Well, done.

The Carbon 7 isn't just a looker. There's a lot of innovation that goes into this helmet, like combining the high tech big hitters of strength and lightweightness into a 65/35 ratio carbon/kevlar outer shell, giving you superior protection over the traditional, heavy and cumbersome motocross helmets. Designed for watercraft use, the Carbon 7 has built-in water drain vents, keeping the helmet light even after submersion, a specialized quick draining open air mesh liner for fast drying, easily interchangeable cheekpads so you can swap out dry pads inbetween motos, and breakaway polycarbonate rivets to avoid visor damage and causing the head to snap back by allowing the visor to come off easily upon impact. At the end of your ride, the single pull ratchet system allows for quick release of the helmet, even while wearing our ridiculously cool RS-15 Race Gloves. All this innovation in a 1200g package. Compared to 1800g, that's more protection per gram when compared to your traditional fiberglass motocross helmet. Take a look at it at the Jettribe booth at the IJSBA World Finals in October.
