Thats good stuff....That guy on the blue Jetco ski with the #3 Jersey is Larry 'the ripper' Rippenkroger. I believe "Flyin Brian"Bendix was in that also.
My stupid sounding avatar name Jet Ski Fever is actually named after a show that aired on TV in the early 80's with the godfathers of the sport in it (rippenkroger, bendix, sidner, stricklin, celeste peterson, etc...). I tried to to upload it to youtube but it wouldnt allow me to for some reason. (if anyone can post it on another medium id be happy to email the file)
Nice Find on ebay. Love that old footage!

Yup, Rippenkroger freestylin it (@1:40). He's in Jet Dreams a video I had to have back, I guess, in the late 80's. I still watch it sometimes, corny but cool. My fav was Scott 'Hollywood' Watkins. He's the man. I'd study that video.
Anyone have any footage on Watkins then or now??? Post it.

Those shorts were the thing back then. Anything else you be commiting a fashion no-no. And a must was tube socks just below the knee. I prefer the style today to cover my bird legs as best I can.
