2014 Jettribe World Finals

Kevin Reiterer’s press department has released this press about his two victories this weekend:

Lake Havasu City, Arizona – After a Vice European Title, Kevin
Reiterer went with a large restructuring in this year’s World Cup. The
Austrian, known for his participation in all classes, started just in
two Pro classes this year. With a new hull and a more powerful engine,
Kevin was on a super equipment for this year’s title fight. He won Pro
Ski GP in two incredibly races with earned first places before main
competitor Dustin Motzouris, South Africa. Kevin to his victories: “It
is not only wonderful to have the title, it means a lot more to show
that I’m the fastest man on the water and that I won the race in hard
fights and with a lot of fun.” Kevin dominated the first of three Pro
Ski motos on sunday, but got a technical problem on his engine
afterwards.

Despite the big changes on a back up ski, he showed his skills and
won the second world title on that weekend. After five years without a
Pro title, he is back and repeated the incredible double success that
has only be achieved 3 times in history.

Kevin likes to give a huge shotout to all his sponsors!

What a show!  This video shows what a fun atmosphere we had for round 2
of this weekends Pro Freestyle Competition.  The camera/copter battery
died half way into the freestyle runs, but the video still has a ton of
great footage.  Be sure to watch Sunday’s round 3 video when it comes
out, because it will have the top 7 or so riders this year throwing one
trick after another!

This was an official contest for the Guinness Book of World Records to
see who could do the most back flips in a row on a stand-up jet ski. 
LEE STONE pulled off 36 CONSECUTIVE BACK FLIPS, a new world record!!!

GP Runabout Heat

The fastest jet skis of the week were flying down the back straightaway
at over 80 MPH, and carving turns faster than ever seen before.  This
aerial perspective makes you want to hold on to your seat as you watch
these racers hold on to their mini rocket ships!

JUNIORS CLASSES

This was a fun video to put together because the juniors are so pro! 
Watch for some great battles, great lines, and serious racing!

VET SKI & RUNABOUT CLASSIC/RECON FLIGHT

http://youtu.be/WJEPTvBuYbw

This was my first “flight” when i got to the race site at Crazy Horse
Campgrounds, after checking in with event manager to confirm my
pre-arranged permission to fly.  This video is more interesting from a
quadcopter operator perspective because it shows many of the various
perspectives I wanted to film to see what the quadcopter would get/how
the footage would look.  I watched the footage that night and saw what
shots worked best, and applied this recon mission to the flights for the
rest of the weekend.

Racing wise, the “Vet Ski Open” class was tearing it up out on the
course during most of the video, and then at the end you will see I got
to film the start of the class I used to race, “Runabout Classics Open,
(2 Strokes Superstock)!
