777 River Racing - New Downstream record on the DART RIVER 2018

[@777RiverRacing]

We pre-run the river a number of times before the race. You’ve got to have a good idea on what channel to take. Some areas there are a number of different options!!!

[@academyforums]

How did you start doing this? Very interesting stuff. Very scary for me.

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

1st off. I’ve never seen a river like that in my life. 2nd. That’s 1 of the coolest things I’ve ever seen..

[@Lucalikesstuff]

Most New Zealand rivers look like this

Вообще что - то невероятное! Круто!

[@hadrianwall9157]

Agreed.

[@wildmanturner]

High speed low drag. White knuckle bronc busting pure adrenaline. Balls of steel and deep pockets make for one heck of a ride on an aluminum water rocket

[@777RiverRacing]

Cheers 👍

[@colesteven1123]

[@ss-5553]

Really great landscapes!

[@ARandomSavage]

Now THIS is pod racing!

[@ss-5553]

Now I have to say that this video is really fast and great. How fast was it?

[@VividDroid]

A gliding bomb. Sweet. Jason's Rock is scary.

[@colesteven1123]

How deep is this water?? 3-4"? Jeeeez this is amazing!

[@coolcat498]

I've looked at a few pictures of the boat and some others and I've seen that the nozzle has quite a peculiar shape compared to jet drives used on jet skis and fast ships, is there a reason for the different shape?

[@laal87]

Congrats! How much draught do you have?

[@777RiverRacing]

Only 4 inches at speed 👍- do run across a lot less sometimes😳🤦🏻‍♂️

[@tommybokelman5565]

Nice. What was your average speed

[@mikkopow4528]

Should be 200km/h or 124,3 mph

[@dannydarko6929]

Was that trump in the passenger seat with the hands moving.

[@bushmanbill8923]

How’s the scenery. Looks like a post card picture.

[@hadrianwall9157]

Crazy,crazy..

[@tatradak]

Holy Moly this is awesome!

[@KartiacKID]

…and awesome job driving

[@JGodbolt73]

3.30 mark, narrow and shallow! How much time do you and your nav get to work out a course?

[@777RiverRacing]

We pre-run the river a few times before racing 👍

[@colesteven1123]

How do we go about introducing yall to Garrett(cleetus) this type of racing needs spectators otherwise it will die! Garretts amazing at bringing a crowd

[@nosman069]

What jet drive and specs also whats top end speed.

[@davidsnyder2000]

God’s holy numbers 777🙏😄

[@FreerideHellDriver]

awesomness! 7:01 was pretty close huh?

[@BluSTi]

Insanity!

[@АлександрВасильев-х7е]

Река как скоростное шоссе!

[@gafrers]

Insane. 👏👏👏

[@777RiverRacing]

Cheers

[@LscottD]

what happened? no more post?

[@KartiacKID]

Amazing

[@R3DLiFE]

How is throttle control done ? Foot pedals ???? 🤔

[@davytheswag9370]

yeah foot pedals are more common than hand throttles on boats like this

[@ats-3693]

Foot pedal throttle with a thumb switch on the steering wheel to control the bow winglet angle of attack.

[@777RiverRacing]

Foot throttle 👍

[@evren7563]

Where is locasion ?

[@Pete856]

The Dart river feeds into the northern end of Lake Wakatipu in the South Island of New Zealand.

[@MrAugustus2020]

How much this boat cost?

[@777RiverRacing]

How much you willing to pay ?????🤔

[@MrAugustus2020]

@@777RiverRacing an arm and a leg? 😅 Interested in getting into it one day

[@aylahughes9185]

200k us minimum for something like this. one with a conventional engine can be had for much less but this thing has a 2000hp jet shaft motor. its a jet engine with a shaft output. its like 400lbs fully dressed or something ridiculous making 2000hp so the power to weight on this boat is insane.

[@гдзс1плюшкин]

Да я на восьмом ветерке быстрей хожу😄

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Are these driven blind? Or can you recce the river first?

[@777RiverRacing]

No - couldn’t lay a run like this without pre-running 👍👍

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

@@777RiverRacing Phew, was wondering!

[@777RiverRacing]

Sometimes you are boating blind when the wrong channel is taken!!!! Can make for a exciting ride 👍

[@gizard4117]

Hydro Thunder!

[@777RiverRacing]

Cheers

[@MyConcreteGuy]

about 55 MPH average! Woah...

[@deasystems]

I'm pretty sure 35 km in 10 minutes, 30 seconds is about 125 mph average.

Scary and small room for mistakes. Also not rly a deep water

[@Stinktierchen]

[@adamsmith5913]

Put a turbine engine on that pedal bike and you might be around 20% as cool as this dude
