[This will be my 2nd year traveling overseas for the Kings Cup race. I am truly honored to be representing the United States again in the Vet Open class. My teammates and I were very impressed by the hospitality that the people of Thailand had to offer to us last year, and really look forward to this year’s competition. Again, I will get the opportunity to share the field with a group of international riders ready to battle it out for 3 of the most exciting days of racing only the Kings Cup can offer. I am very excited that my teammates Jeremy Schandelmayer, Christine Milone, David Cabrera, Eric Lagopoulis and Rick Sherker and I will be competing for titles from the USA. We are all looking forward to this event!

This year has been exceptionally fun for me, not just on the race course but also off the course. As a Team Jettribe racer, I have had the pleasure of representing Jettribe as a seller of the products that we offer. Jettribe has really shown their support to all of the riders in our sport. After our week of racing, I will be traveling with Jettribe owner and founder Tony Vo to Vietnam to learn more about the business side of Jettribe. We will be visiting several different locations throughout Vietnam, but this in only the beginning. Next Tony and I will also visit some of the other factories in China to check out the latest and greatest items in production. I’m very blessed to be able to learn all about the business and production side, and this is an opportunity that will help me to promote Jettribe in the future.]

[Over the past 16 years I have trained hard to become one of the most well-known personal watercraft competitors in the world. 2011 will mark my 11th year competing at a professional level. 4 time World Champion & 6 time National Champion. Versatile both in offshore and close course competitions, my water training and marathon competitions give me an advantage over other competitors. Sea-Doo rider for 17 years. I am extremely excited for my return to Thailand to compete for the Kings Cup! Representing Team USA/Jettribe I look forward to bringing back the Pro Runabout 800 Kings Cup to the USA! This will be my 4th time competing in Thailand and with the support of Team Mean, Jettribe, Riva, Scott, Relaxzen, Seadoo, Promarine,Wamiltons, and Hydroturf I intend on winning! I cant wait to see all my race friends and fans in Pattaya!]

Eric Lagopoulos 

~~~~~~~~~

[As I complete my 5th year of racing Jet Ski’s, I am so excited to have an opportunity once again to represent Team USA/Jettribe Racing, at the 2011 Thailand’s King’s Cup – World Cup Grand Prix. After attending the King’s Cup in 2010 for the first time, no other race has compared since. The Country, the people, fellow competitors, and the TJSBA sanctioning, provided a great venue for us as racers. It was simply an amazing experience! The TJSBA’s professionalism and attention to safety are the best I have experienced.

The opportunity to race this year would not be possible with out the support of my sponsors, Jettribe, TialSport, Riva Racing, Champion Motorsports and Louis Milone. I will be returning with my Team USA teammates, Jeremy Shandelmayer, Derek Correll and this year David Cabrera, Eric Lagopoulos and Rick Sherker, are new and welcomed additions to Team USA/Jettribe Racing. I will be racing the Team Mean Racing/TialSport #696 open class prepared turbo-charged Seadoo GTI. This ski built by Louis Milone, has 400 horsepower and will be ridden by both myself and Jeremy Schandlemayer. “It is one very fast ski and will be one to watch.” ]

[With fifteen years experience racing, I'm thrilled at the opportunity to attend Thailands 2011 King's Cup - World Cup Grand Prix. Representing team USA/Jettribe is a great honor. I've traveled all over the United States and have attended the IJSBA World Finals several times, but have never had an opportunity like this, to travel overseas, have the chance to visit Thailand, and participate in what is known as the most prestigious race. The TJSBA and the racers from Thailand have had a huge presenence here in the United States at the World Finals and I'm very excited to compete in a TJSBA sanctioned event, with the Thai racers, and in front of the great people of Thailand.

This opportunity has been possible because of support from my sponsors. I'm proud to represent Jettribe, Riva Racing, Fly Racing, Full Spectrum, and Hydro-Turf. I will be racing my RSRacing #912 Open class ski. This is a ski I built utilizing a Bullet Generation 2 hull and a Kawasaki triple engine prepared by RSR. It has proven to be competitive.]

Preparing for Thailand King's Cup 2011

We cannot emphasize enough just how much Jettribe is stepping up for this year's Thailand King's Cup. We packed and shipped an entire display booth jam packed with merchandise to Thailand three months ago. Items include: Jettribe racing easy-up, chairs, banners, lights, retail display racks, international credit card process machines, and most important- over $20,000 worth of commodities. We really just want to make it our little home away from home. And it's all geared for a one-way trip. No returns allowed at this occasion!

Due to our good relationship with TJSBA and Motorfield of Thailand, Jettribe was the first to see the layout of the King's Cup race as well as the first to call dibs on our booth space! We are so stoked that Jettribe was chosen to be the official safety gear brand for the safety course marshal in Thailand! Jettribe is the ONLY Team USA that is sanctioned by TSJBA to officially represent this great country of ours. Go red, white, and blue!

Thank you Johnny at Blowson for stepping up and contributing to Jettribe's Team USA's traveling expenses to Thailand. We have so much gratitude, admiration, and respect for you! Companies like yours are what make our industry grow. Jettribe would also like to thank Hot Products for all their help in getting our Team USA to Thailand. You guys are amazing. We'd like to especially thank Scott Siato, who not only helped out with expenses, but is also going to be flying to Thailand just to hang out with us at our booth. What a guy! If only there were more industry companies that would do the same...

And last but not least, we can't possibly thank Sam from Motorfield- our local friend and distributor in Thailand- and his family enough! They are responsible for making our trip possible with in-country local support in so many ways that it's mind-boggling: airport pick-up, hotel stays, food, fuel, race pit accommodations, quads, 24-hour security for our boats at the race site, booth set up and break down... The list goes on forever!

Then, as if all of this wasn't enough, there is also the continuing countdown for Jettribe's first ever Thailand King's Cup fashion show! All the fun starts soon so stay tuned!

Team Press Release

The logistics of shipping our whole team to Thailand is mind-boggling.

We're flying people in from Washington D.C, California, Florida, South Carolina, and Vietnam.

It's a good thing so many people are coming because we need

all the help we can get to support our team and our fashion show.

Team USA King's Cup Thailand Pit Shirts

What's better than being a fan Jettribe? Being part of the Jettribe team! Not least of which because if you were a team member you'd be able to get your hands on one these limited edition Team pit shirts. These beauties are made out of a breathable material perfectly adapted for hot and humid weather, just like the kind you'd experience in lovely Thailand. Which is pretty good seeing as these will be shipped directly to Thailand and will be waiting for our riders at the airport!

"Back to the drawing board!"

That phrase is usually meant for when someone's plans end in failure, but here at Jettribe it just means one idea down and a gazillion more to go! We're so full of creativity that we can't stop ourselves! These words may only start out as strokes of dry marker on a whiteboard but with hard work and inspiration, we will never be satisfied with just "good" or "the best"- we will always aim up, up, and higher!

Thailand King's Cup 2010

     

Can you believe it's been a year since Jettribe Team USA went to Thailand's King Cup? Crazy! Where does the time go?

Last year we reunited with many members but got to meet a lot of new ones too!

Thailand is a beautiful foreign country- different yet familliar in some ways- but in the end everything comes right down to the best part: racing the jetskiis!

However, all good things must come to an end but luckily we do not have to say goodbye for long. Thailand's King Cup 2011 is coming up fast and we look forward to having another great adventure! Stay tuned because all the fun starts again next week!

 

Thailand King Cup

Hey everyone! We here at JetTribe just love sharing good news! Like how stoked ...we were to be working with Motorfield of Thailand and TJSBA to premiere our 2012 JetTribe lineup, which was greeted with quite a lot of excitement at the World Finals. Also, as some of you may already know, the Thailand King Cup jetski race is coming up fast and as usual, JetTribe HQ is rising up to the occasion! We've shipped over a whole booth totally loaded with merchandise to the scene. However, the fun doesn't just stop there! Of course not! We never stop thinking outside the box for bringing you the best of the best fun. So to push things up a noch we are also hosting the first ever Thailand King Cup fashion show! Just check out all these local hotties! Oh man, it's so hard to choose between them! Maybe you guys could help us out a bit?  Just go to our facebook page and let us know which of these lovely ladies is your choice for Thailand beauty queen!

Our Jettribe Asian buyers just love paying in cash! (To be honest we love it also...)

The First to Wear the PWC Carbon 7 Helmet!

Erique Chai from Peru is the first rider in the World to sport our PWC Carbon 7 helmet! These are produce at a very limited quantity. 65 % carbon Fiber and 35 % kevlar! lighter and stronger!

New Helmet Goggles

Our 2012 Helmet Goggles just rolled in!  Yay!

Jettribe helmet collar tested by Vasilis Moraitis

Lately Jettribe has surprised the personal watercraft riders and enthusiasts with its unique and innovative products. One of its latest products is the illustrated helmet collar. According to Jettribe this particular accessory limits side and snap back motion during a fall from a personal watercraft while wearing a helmet. I...t is equipped with an elastic front and rear Velcro system that allows greater flexibility. The rider who uses a Jettribe RS-16 race vest can easily connect it directly on to it. The particular collar fits nicely around the neck, it is extremely lightweight and it does not minimize the neck movement at any direction. Possibly a stand up rider might have less mobility on its neck only when he/she leans too much and his/her body (and his/her neck) is in an extreme angle. But his happens only in the holeshot buoy or the first couple of buoys on a racecourse and it depends on rider’s riding style. When you wear it you do not feel it exists round your neck. Stand ups and Runabouts are very fast nowadays so give your self a brake and protect properly your neck. Wear Jettribe’s helmet collar even when you practice.

Jettribe rolling gear bag: Tested by Vasilis Mora from jetskiworld.gr

Features: High quality durable zipper, tough Dual skid rails, heavy duty handles, foldable anodized handle, stainless hardware and unique colors. Its dimensions are 17”W x 9”H x 28”L and it easy to carry due to extended, foldable anodized handle. Also, it features one extra plastic and two soft handles which makes it easy to li...ft it in order to place it in the rear storage compartment of a car or minivan or even to put it on a buss. The tough side wall construction is very useful since the gear bag does not get deformed under heavy load and the two built in straps secures it even better and the overall construction. The built in waterproof liner protects the outer shell from getting wet. On the bottom where the two wheels are situated there are also two plastic studs that enables you to rest it in vertical position which is very handy when you walk around the airport or the paddocks. The unique aesthetics will enable you to identify it easily at the airport or elsewhere. We had tested the new Jettribe rolling gear back for 10days in Havasu by using it every day and through two international flights including a week of testing back home, in Greece. For its reasonable price it is a very good product and can withstand lots of abuse. So next time you are thinking of buying a gear bag visit your Jettribe dealer and take a look at this product.

Jettribe@the 2011 IJSBA World Finals

The 2011 IJSBA World Finals Summary


With months of preparation and lots of last minute hustling, it's hard to believe that the week of the 2011 IJSBA
World Finals came and went just le that. And what a week it was. While it was a great event all around, Jettribe was proud
to have a fantastic showing. Once considered no man's land for vendors in previous years, Jettribe turned that corner parking
lot area into a hot spot for everybody. We put up our biggest booth to date at a 100 feet long (or 1000 square feet if you like
big numbers). The introduction of our RS-16 line of race gear was a big hit and before you knew it, a ton of racers
were sporting Jettribe before the week was over. We enjoyed greeting our "regulars" who just loved to come and hang out,
check out our gear again and again, and probably kept trying to convince themselves of just how much gear they can get
away with taking home.
But that was all on the surface. There was a lot going on behind the scenes. Here are just some of the backroom deals
that Jettribe closed on at the World Finals:

- We signed on an exclusive distributor for France, with non-exclusive distribution rights to Europe
- We welcomed Russia to the ranks of international Jettribe distributors
- We signed a trademark agreement with South Korea
- Jettribe is in talks with China's racing association as well as Yamaha Vietnam to help them build up their
professional racing circuit

So yeah, while Jettribe was busy outfitting everyone in race gear and sexy casual wear, we were also doing our part to
help grow the sport internationally as well. I think the saying was "think globally, act locally". Ok, so we got it a little
backwards.
Once the work was done, Jettribe ended the World Finals cosponsoring the After Party at Heat Nightclub with Monster and
Yamaha. All in all, an IJSBA World Finals for the books. But now that the dust has settled, we haven't. Back at HQ, we're getting
our showroom ready for distributors to make their final selection of gear to take back and prepping is still under way for the 2011
Thailand King's Cup. Jettribe is proud of our racers for managing to pack up and load their boats and gear for the long haul to
Thailand after a week of racing in the World Finals. We've got a lot of exciting announcements coming up so stay tuned!

World Finals 30th Anniversary: A Bittersweet Trip

Making the trip out to Havasu this year was a bittersweet experience for me. This is one of the races that I always look forward to the most, but this would most likely be my last trip to the World Finals for awhile so that I can focus on starting my future career after graduation this spring. The trip to Havasu was a frustrating and exhausting one filled with flight delays and late night driving. But all the frustration was worth it so that I could have a week-long vacation where I could have nothing but hot weather and hot racing action.

The first few days were filled with riders’ meetings, practice, and making sure everything was running like it should. My first two races took place on Tuesday and I made it through my heat race with no issues, but when it came time for my first moto the ski didn’t want to start. After having my team of mechanics putting their heads inside the ski and throwing parts left and right trying to figure out what was wrong we just barely got it running before the start of my race. It was such a close call that my ski was delivered to me down on line right before the skis were fired up. I finished with a 7th place for the day and still had to get in my final moto the next day on Wednesday. When Wednesday rolled around I had similar issues with my ski but we got it running so that I could get through my last moto and I ended up finishing 7th overall. My results were disappointing but I was grateful that my ski survived through all of my races and I was happy that I could even be in Havasu to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the World Finals.

When I wasn’t racing I was spending most of my time working at the Jettribe booth which was also a sad experience because it would be one of my last weeks working for them. But it was definitely a fun experience getting to meet some of the new Jettribe staff and being able to interact with so many of the foreign racers who add so much to this event.

And when I wasn’t racing or working I was in the stands or down on line catching the intense fiberglass warfare. Hands down my favorite classes to watch were Pro Ski Open and Pro Ski GP. It was so amazing to see how fast some of these guys can go on stand-ups. But the whole weekend was filled with awesome racing action and it was cool to see the vintage skis and sport boats brought back to the starting line.

The week came and went so fast and my trip to Havasu was over before I knew it. My days in Havasu were filled with memories and new friendships that will last a lifetime. I was so happy to be part of such an awesome event and I can’t wait until the next time that I’m able to be out there. I would like to thank my amazing dad for for loving this sport as much as I do (and footing the bill for my racing expenses). I also have to thank the Block and Carroll families for being such an awesome pit crew, these two families are truly some of the most hard working and honest people around; they also, with the help of Bill Haig, got my ski running so I could race my last two motos and I would have been so lost without them. I would also like to thank the Jettribe team for being such a big part of my racing life. Hopefully I’ll be out at some races next summer so I can enjoy the racing scene for a little bit longer and see all of my racing family again!

The Frame Brothers in Havasu

Everyone comes to the World Finals with to compete against the best racers in the world. Its also a great place to hangout with old friends, meet new ones, and see what's new in the industry.
This World Championship would be tough for the Black Star race team. Cameron Frame would be injured in the first turn of Pro Runabout Limited and I would be dq'd after missing 2 buoys while in the lead of the Pro Runabout Open lcq. Even though the we did not ride up to expectations, it was exciting to watch other Jettribe riders shine. Rick Sherker rode awesome in Pro ski and Alec Hohnadell won a Junior World Title.

Watching Pro Ski was great, but honestly, walking around seeing athletes wearing the new Jettribe / Black Star Signature Series gear was the highlight of my week. Not many people knew this but this same time last year Tony with Jettribe and myself partnered up to bring to industry some unique designs and protective equipment. To see the end products of our hard work was unbelievable. Believe it or not I actually have an apparel design degree from many years ago, and although life took me into a different direction for a decade, it was Tony who gave me the opportunity to make a dream come true. Hopefully, people will dig the new gear and we can continue developing new cutting edge products that offer racers more style and protection than ever before. Time will tell! Big thanks to Tony and all the crew from Jettribe.

Jettribe Crew Prepares for World Finals and King's Cup!

It’s been a hell of a week for the Jettribe crew. Most of our crew is frantically packing and prepping for the World Finals in Lake Havasu, AZ which is less than 2 weeks away. The other part of our Jettribe crew is in Thailand on a recon mission to prep for the King’s Cup Race!

At Jettribe we take overseas racing very seriously. We flew to Thailand to case out the race site in Pattaya, Thailand so we could see what the water conditions are like in the morning, afternoon, how much chop there is, and what the conditions are like when the wind picks up. We also looked at the sand and shore, water temperature, elevation, etc. We had sent the pictures directly from Pattaya Beach from our blackberry instantly to Rick Sherker who was waiting for the info.

On top of checking out the race site for our team riders, we scoped out the local accommodations from the host hotel, which is totally nice by the way for local food. We also looked at places where we could take our team riders to eat and not have any local food “issues”.

We at Jettribe are obsessed with our gear’s performance. For 2012 we have released the RS-16 race edition performance gear! Just to make sure that our Jettribe gear performs at its peak for our riders, we threw all of the gear into our luggage and tested them out in Thailand’s harsh, hot, humid weather. Plus, the Pacific salt water is tough on any gear! We strive to provide our PWC riders with the best gear worldwide. We test our gear from both sides of the world.

Our Jettribe crew definitely cannot give enough thanks to Sam our local Thai distributor for helping Jettribe with the testing of our new products, as well as driving us to the race site in Pattaya which is about 2 hours away from Sam’s warehouse in Bangkok! Plus, he and his friend took out his huge boat and hummer to take us cruising.

For those who do not realize, luxury items like Sam’s friend’s H3 Hummer are three times the cost compared to in the US. The H3 is close to $100k in Thailand and there is no financing; cash is the only method of payment…ouch! The boat is probably over $100k. It’s a totally different world here in Thailand! We are glad to spend some time with them, it was priceless!

While we were over in Thailand we saw lots of crazy stuff. One of our encounters included seeing a scooter pulling a PWC…and we thought we had seen it all!

After our trip to Thailand we found ourselves in Vietnam hanging with one of our local staff members, whose family owns a ranch. We absolutely love getting to have experiences like this! It makes our job so rewarding to be able to have priceless moments like this with people who treat us like family.  

Jettribe's Trek to the Blowsion Surf Slam from SoCal

We at Jettribe were so glad that we were able to participate at the Blowsion Surf Slam. Seeing all of the familiar faces that we have not seen all year is a cool treat. More like a family reunion.

It was a tough week for Jettribe, being a little short on staffing. Part of our crew had to fly to Asia to ensure that our product is being produced top notch, and we are working with Yamaha of Vietnam to build and introduce the locals to the watercraft lifestyle that we love so much here in The United States.

If it weren't for Derek Correll who flew in from North Carolina to man our booth and Eric "Rude Dog" for flying in from Arizona to haul our race rig from Southern California to Oregon, it would not have been possible for Jettribe to be at the Surf Slam. Not an easy task, it is close to a 2000 mile round trip!

Team members like these are what make Jettribe perhaps the fastest growing PWC gear Company in the world.

2011 Blowsion Surf Slam Recap by Mikey Young

Blowsion Up In Pacific City, OR, With The 2011 Surfslam!



The 4th Annual 2011 Blowsion Surf Slam was held September 9-11, in Pacific City, Oregon. This has been one of the largest draws in the watercraft industry for sponsors, spectators and competitors...and 2011 would be another stellar year!



On Course Events produced the event and Carol Ann and Rob Guistina paid attention to detail and left everyone on the beach with a big smile as there was plenty of swag including t-shirts from Blowsion, Cold Fusion, and HydroTurf, while other sponsors had unique gifts like the SPY wraparound coozies and Pepperoni from Tillamook Country Smoker...all being tossed out by always friendly emcees, Dawn Dawson and Mikey Young.



The event featured Amateur and Professional Freeriding as well as a Ski Division Moto-Surf race. There were several vendors that had awesome products like Blowsion, Jettribe, Gasket Technologies, Massages by Jacqueline, and great food from The Q Crew and Dog Gone Good Things.



The IJSBA sanctioned Moto-Surf race featured 15 racers 10 Pro and 5 Amateurs. It was a run what you brung melee that attracted feature athletes like Jordan Fielder, movie star Mark Gomez, and last year’s champ, Jeff Troegner of California.



The first moto was taken by England’s Jordan Fielder who earned his stripes by taming the extremely rough Pacific Ocean. When asked after the race, he didn’t know that he actually won the first moto, but it wouldn’t be enough to get the Overall from Mark Gomez, who starred in I am Number Four! Gomez would take the Moto-Surf Championship after falling in the ¼ finals of Pro Freereide.



Blowsion sponsored Jordan Fielder would take second and would fill the podium! Congrats to the winner of the Amateur race!



The Amateur Freeride Competition was awesome! The younger freeriders always go huge at this particular event. Sunday was a fun day for the youngest of the freeriders, Christian Young who deposited his biggest win of his young career and made his father, Michael, a very proud poppa!



There were several amazing runs, but the podium only takes three...so backing up Christian on the podium was South Africa’s Jake Montadon, who did it on borrowed Blowsion property. Newcomer, Wesley Krautkramer, had an epic debut as he also landed a podium spot in third! Hard Luck award this weekend would go to Tanner Thomas, get well soon and if anyone finds his boat, please contact us!



The Blowsion Surf-Slam Pro Freeride was completely sick! Beginning with qualifying, this international field that featured racers from France, Brazil, Japan, South Africa, and of course the good ole USA. France would make it to the ¼ finals with Pierre Maxient representing against Taylor Curtis, who starred in an episode of MTV’s Nitro Circus, teaching Travis Pastrana to backflip a watercraft! Curtis would take that in the best showdown I have witnessed!



Curtis would work through the Semi-Finals through Banzai Takaaki Murao to face the winner of the other bracket! Speaking of the other bracket, it was stacked as well with free riders like Ross Champion, Zack Bright, and Jerry Brandon to name a few! Last year’s champion, Ross Champion, worked through the brackets skillfully as he tricked his way in to the finals against Taylor Curtis!



Curtis, however, introduced a new level of competition and degree of difficulty as he completed several re-entry variations, though he would have mechanical issues which led to his demise. Champion would complete the back to back victories and is the first free rider to win back-to-back titles at the Blowsion Surf Slam!



Special thanks to Boy Wonder John Dady, of Blowsion, Jeff at the Pacific City Inn, Jess at the Oar House, the dude who sold me the winning lotto ticket at the Shell, Mother Nature, Scott Frazier, and NO THANKS TO THE CHICK WHO KICKED US (Derek Correll and I) OUT OF SPORTSMANS FOR BEING COOLER THAN HER...CANK!!! Haha! Great times...



Hope to see everyone back in 2012!

Jettribe's Commitment

When Tony at Jettribe said to Johnny at Blowsion that Jettribe would be at his Surf Slam event this year it is a done deal – no matter how crazy it gets at Jettribe HQ! Jettribe is flying in team rider Derek Correll from North Carolina to Oregon to hang out at our Jettribe booth. Then Jettribe is flying Eric aka Rude Dog from Arizona to Southern California where the Jettribe HQ is based! Eric will drive our Jettribe race rig to the Surf Slam in Oregon for 3 days.


During that week, Tony will fly to Taiwan and Vietnam to work with our Asia office. Yes, Jettribe has owned and operated our own factory in Asia for over a decade! Plus, we are meeting with Yamaha of Vietnam to establish some cool events for 2012.

Jet Effect: A Huge Success

Jet Effect was a huge success and I thank you and your team for being part of our racing family. The event attracted racers from northern and southern California, as well as from Palm Springs, Las Vegas, Utah, Reno, and Alaska!

Amy looked awesome in the JETTRIBE outfit she wore, and I am working on having her become a regular part of our post race activities. In the future I would like to have the JETTRIBE banner displayed in the background where the winners receive their trophys or certificates, and get their photos taken, and have these presentations named after JETTRIBE.

I'll send you a full race report after I catch up on some much needed sleep, but I wanted you to know the "xtreme 550 All Out" racer who won the $640 cash can and your certificate, was Michael Prodanovich of Marysville, California.

Our safety skis looked pretty impressive pulling into the pits with brand new JETTRIBE ski covers, and I don't think I have ever seen a similar product with better craftmanship than yours. They look incredible! I thank you for your support and interest, and we are proud to fly the JETTRIBE name.
