Jettribe Daytona Free Ride Update Part 2

When Saturday rolled around the jettribe crew Tony, Doan, and Derek Correll were pretty worried that Daytona was hit with some pretty cold weather! Man it was 38 degrees! For us Southern Californians that is dang cold, plus the wind was blowing also. But these freeriders are totally hard core! Despite the cold weather they showed up in the masses! We think there were at least 400 skis there and they were all riding and having a great time.
Being at the Daytona free ride was especially cool for our Jettribe crew, we had a chance to hook up with our team USA again, the last time we have seen Louis, Derek, Christine, Wilson, and Jeremy from 10,000 miles away in Asia after the King’s Cup. It was a nice reunion. We all had a chance to hang out and plan for the 2011 race reason. It will be awesome!
One of the folks that Tony from Jettribe had a chance to chat with was Arnold from Hydroturf and we all view him as one of the PWC industry's icons. And having chance to hang with Johnny and Scott from Blowsion was priceless! Spending time like this is worth the trek from California to Florida; emails and phone calls can only go so far.
Many thanks to Nick and the city of Viola for greeting us hard core PWC fans with warm welcome.
See all of you next year...........

Daytona Free Ride 2009

What a great experience! The beach was lined with trucks and Stand Ups skis as far as the eye can see! The Daytona Freeride brings back the true core PWC sport as close to where it all began. Stand up riders pulled up in any form of vehicle that can pull, hauled, or carry a Jet ski. We saw guys had their ski stuffed in the truck of their Honda Civic! Or other small 4 door sedans pulling two X-2's. This is what the sport is all about, down to the simpliest form, bring your ski, and some gas. We are proud to be in such a cool event. It made the 42 hour-haul from Southern California to Florida well worth it.

Many thanks to Nick for pulling off such a cool event and the life guards for making it safe to pull our Jettribe ridge on to the beach each morning! Word up to Steve, Dereck, and Kevin our sponsored riders for helping to break down and set up the Jettribe booth. Ronny...............keep shooting those cool photos!
