That's got to be a huge adrenaline rush, very cool.

 

[vitaly]

That looks AWESOME!
Can you ride up the Niagara Falls? :Banane01:

Ya the uphill thing looks like fun

 

[RMBC Freeride]

I dont think they should be allowed to ride the whole way up on their knees... WTF?

(i know its very hard to ride in, ive ridden in some rapids)

Looks like a blast!

The rapids looks like hella fun. A few years ago back before our drought, we had some big rains that gave us some rapids to ride on a local river. It was definately a rush. The only problem and big danger besides the fast water was the debris that could easily foul up the pump. Riding rapids is probably the biggest adrenaline rush I have had while riding a ski.

 

[spence]

awsome!!! are they pinning the throttle goin up the whitewater? That water shure is movin fast. Was it just built for that purpose????

i looked over what its actually for it was for kayak down stream trials....

any of you guys watch the indoor racing? we should do that in america

The indoor footage is from here in Belgium (Ghent). Yves Van Heers organised the event. Weekend 1 there was a wind surfing event and the 2nd weekend was for jetski racing. It was pretty sick...
Lot's of noise, smoke and... incidents. R/A going up the gunwalls, standup's crashing into each other...

The downhill thing, is a rafting training site.

They need to tell the dudes on the uphill that they are riding a STANDUP.

Pretty cool place to ride though :bigok:

 

[Flyinbysti]

[Waste Land]

uphill = sweet
going uphill on knee = bad

We got a few local rivers here that have rapids, but are super shallow and with lots of rocks. I've learned my lesson that fiberglass and rocks don't mix! but the jet boats here have teflon bolted to the bottom of there boat to slide over the rocks. I've been throwing the idea around for tefloning the bottom of a sxr and seeing how it will work. Just wondering if the hull ifself could handle the impact?

That looks like the Niagara River but slower. They need to give those skis some gas and rip through those rapids!

It is actually easier if you are standing. :fing02:

Looks like a blast, but it definitely seems like it would be easier with a bit more speed. I assume its deep enough to let you punch through some of the swells. I could understand going slow if there were rocks under all that, but since it's man made all they really need is some :brap:
