I got to go for a boat ride!

Hi People
Sorry I have been hidden for a while (everyone knows what its like in the run up to Xmas)


I went for a drive to Wanganui on Boxing day for some jetsprint racing... Was super excited just to be able to watch.... But somehow I managed to sneak a ride on one of the boats! it was only a warm-up lap but was still good to get out there!

At least things didn't go as bad as this run..... The passenger in this one was a teenager who won a "ride of your life" on the craziest boat out there... 1500 hp of stupidity and his dad was about to go for a ride on the same boat as I went on until things turned for the worst!

Were the people alright? Looked pretty mean

How deep is the course?

Both here carted off to hospital. Both are sore but ok im told!
the boat however is a different story! Sardine can comes to mind! mostly a write-off is my Guess..

water in the pool it landed in is about 1m deep and they landed the correct way up with there noses just out of the water.
Most of the track is about half a meter deep.

Good to hear. They'll have a hell of a story to show and tell now thats for sure.

That's interesting I always gussed it at 1-2m deep all round

I saw that crash on the news last night and remember thing "fuck that for a joke". 2SK if I ever ask you for a ride please poke me in the eye with a blunt stick.

Good to see you are back in circulation MH. Someone told me you had married a pink baseball cap and she had quietened you down and wasn't letting you out with the boys any longer.
