Jacobs looks like he is just taking a quick break on that bouy while the ski makes the turn.

These are some great pics back in the haydays of jet ski racing.

We should all sell our skis and buy 550's so we can try to be real men.

What the hell happened ? Why doesn't the kids of today rip turns like that ? DNA break down ? TV ? Drugs and alcohol ? lack of drugs and alcohol ? So many questions, I need to meditate on this .

I'm sorry, there is no excuse for wearing that wetsuit anytime after 1988.

Trying to figure out what's going on in the bottom left of the first picture in post 10. I see a foot.... but....??

Kids always want the "easy way", never want to work at anything..... Great example

Whats wrong with these kids today?
