What's needed to sign up for a race? Any recommendations on helmets?
I just use a regular mx helmet, most people do. I don't use shoes, gloves or goggles but most guys do. You will need a back protector for any ski class, most people including me use the jettribe one. Obviously will need a life vest/pfd. You will need a membership for whatever sanctioning body covers the race, aka ijsba or pro watercross, you can sign up right at the race. Expect to never actually see an ijsba membership card but your info should be in the system for future races.
Read the rulebook for whatever class you plan to race but at the very least make sure your battery is secure, fuel lines zip tied, and you have a tow loop on the bow.
If you're going to region 8 races a scissor stand will be handy for most venues, a beach cart to launch but if you don't have one there's a lot of guys there willing to let you borrow a cart and 4 wheeler to launch
