Karine Girello, Christophe Girello and Lilian Beaumer, are the major people behind TechOneRacing Company which is based in Lake Havasu City. Their business has expand over the last two years and these french guys are doing a good job and most of all they are nice people. Chris informed us recently that he has been working with different people for this World Finals. Mainly he will help his french racer Valentine Dardillat who is btw French champion this year, and IJSBA ex-World Champion Brice Lopez. He has made a deal with Bullett Racing he will have a boat from them and he will race it in ski GP. It's a big come back from Brice after 2 years break.

The South California based company has released a new series of personal watercraft covers. Recently we tested the new cover that features a new waterproof (The triple coat of PU backing makes the material 100% waterproof, except for the joining seems) material (Featuring the "Stealth Skin Technology" with advance weaving pattern that is twice as strong compared to the previous material), velcro instead of zip at the gas tap area and new graphics. In the past the plastic material that was placed around the edges around the rear was deteriorating especially when it was wetted by salt water. The recent model does not have this particular material in the inner side of the cover. The cover is supplied with side and rear tie down straps which are engaged via completely detachable buckles. The new 2011 design is nice and the material seems to be a lot better. The particular 800SX-R cover was supplied by Champions (www.championsjetski.com), the official importer of Jettribe products in Greece.

This is a Kawasaki JS650SX of 1988 and since it was bought it has never ridden on the water! Its owner is no other than the jet ski collector, Ty McFarland who actually rebuilds and keeps all his genuine or race skis in an immaculate condition. McFarland and Gary Hart of Jettrim are both responsible for the Old School Museum that will be presented in Havasu for second year in a row during the IJSBA World Finals.

We know already that the global market is full of these peculiar bracelets which promise to keep away the unwanted frequencies (mobile phones, electric appliances, etc) from the human body... Well, someone has applied the same principal to the engines. The Japanese company SEV is making those stripes that you stick them to particular places on the engine. According to Seiji (Jetter.p) who uses one on his Ultra 260X he mentioned “The motor was operating on the rev limit as soon as I put it on the engine.” We plan to find more about it in the near future.
