So I finally put the new MONSTER ENERGY jet ski in the water and started the break in phase. I've been racing and running these crazy devices for some time, but I have to tell you. this one really scares me. So im idling down the canal at my house and finally get to the main channel. So I throttle up and the damn thing had so much torque and power it threw me right off the back. I crawled my butt back up on it and eased into it a little slower. Well slow and this thing don't go together. It turns out it only weighs 375lbs and has 350HP. I weigh 195. So do the math, its a death machine. I only made 1 higher speed pass in the smoother water, but inside of 1/8 mile I had it at 98mph and was only running at 4500 RPMs estimated top speed 140mph. I REDLINE AT 9100. Its holding up to what MONSTER told me. This animal will be setting the jet ski world record for speed for sure this year. Im meeting the MONSTER and JETTRIBE race reps in JUNE to do the photo shots and promotional for the XGAMES. Bad thing is, they're talking about doing the speed races in ARIZONA at electric lake, wherever that is. Supposedly its a canyon lake with very little wind as a simple ripple will destroy me and I will break every bone in my already broken body. If anyone sees me tooling about on it send out a shout.468x80 Banner

You know me kenny. Hard core from start line to finish line.have to admit though. It scares me a little. But in a good way. Kind of what my jump instructor told me the first time I wad jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. ALL YOU NEED IS A SECONDS WORTH OF COURAGE. THEN IT REALLY WON'T MATTER. YOUR COMMITTED AFTER THAT. TIME TO DEAL.

Wonder what kind of fish you'll be catching trolling at that speed. Maybe a flying fish. Just be careful going at that speed. Hitting the water at that speed is like hitting concrete. Lord Bless.

Thanks Robert. You know. The wife actually just sat me down and really got on to me. Look im 44years old. Ive broken 32 bones. Ive raced dragbikes, hotrods, and of coarse jetskis. She really voiced a lot of concern about this race. She has never asked me to back out before but she saw the jetski run first hand and it scared her. The funny part is. In the middle of her intervention. The damn UPS guy shows up with my impact gear and race gear from jettribe with my sponsor stuff. She's not a happy camper.
