Extreme Dinghy Racing in Australia

[@deckert618]

We need more inexpensive boat racing here in the USA. Powerboat racing is a dying sport here, because beginners and hobbyists can't afford to compete. Back in the 70s and 80s, the sport's heyday, my Dad raced a J class several weekends per year, and was very competitive, even winning several races, and we used it as a family ski boat the rest of the year.

[@jaybrewster2475]

Natural life cycle of motorsport. Let it lie fallow for a while. Trying for eternal expansion results in stuff like the current state of nascar.

[@jonathancarnahan5180]

They race all the time in Lake Charles ,La...Kent Foreman and friends have folk all over the south meeting on the river

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Every kid in Australia that lives near a river wants a tinny before a car.

[@rnordquest]

They race in stadiums in Japan. Works just like horse racing. Cheap fun.

[@dirtyhooker6317]

This is expensive though

[@southspearmedia]

Now I'd watch that on a Sunday over F1 any day!

[@FANTAILhomepage]

Nick McCaffrey exactly

[@anonymouswombat9709]

You forgot NASCAR

[@mynamejev2489]

Eh

[@_chp_]

@@anonymouswombat9709 nascar is *shit.*

[@hugoaguilar3073]

And golf

[@mitchamus]

Dinghy??? That my friend is a TINNY.

[@FreudsC4t]

+mitchamus Dead right mate! I would have not one of my fishing mad mates that would ever refer to their TINNY as a dinghy. Isn't a dinghy a blow up thing the kids play with in the swimming pool?

[@NoviceindisguiseOfficial]

+Freuds Cat I originally referred to any of a series of small wooden fishing boats used for various types of fishing, most notably in the Cod fishing industry in New England in the US

[@FreudsC4t]

:-)

[@davidmorris4700]

helicopters with guns

[@earthwormjah]

+mitchamus I think if its a descriptive noun that ends in y, usually a sign that its Australian.

[@Jefreeman13]

That looks to be about the most fun you can have on water!!

[@hines862009]

Jetskiing, wakeboarding and parasailing are just a few things that are funner to do on the water.

[@Jefreeman13]

hines862009 Never driven a jetski, but I've done everything else you mentioned and more and this looks infinitely more fun than anything I''ve ever done on water!

[@rcbif101]

Jefreeman13 - if you've never driven a modern 4-stroke jet-ski, you haven't lived.

[@MB-rn6gh]

Jefreeman13 it is.. and you can buy an old one for about 2 grand, registered with a trailer

[@TheSnivilous]

Jefreeman13 ride a stand up jet ski. Sit downs are boring as fuck, regardless how much power all they can do is turn and go in a line. Freestyle is where it's at. This does look fucking awesome though :D

[@pbfamous07]

made me so proud of being aussie. just genuine blokes having some fun.

[@MisterPrecision13]

This is one of the many things I love about being Australian.We are such a relaxed mob until we get into sport, then we go nuts...:)

[@robertshepherd995]

And then the Government bans it.

[@momouppa]

Robert Shepherd yep

[@darrenharris6381]

go nuts or go home

[@senorgarzilla]

You guys are nuts, I love it!

[@snipersclan22]

Bruh it's rally racing with boats xD fuckin awesome

[@zander5068]

In straya their called tinnys not dingys

[@slyarsenal]

Well some people do call them dingys. You're just too Australian! hahaha

[@FANTAILhomepage]

Zander Gladman-Mitchell exactly fucked hell Fu can you red bull Fuck everyone at least someone bid fucked smart

[@harrisonsfishing9763]

jamie micheal harris or it is on his shirt at 2:40

[@sethrogers3892]

We use both well i use both

[@whoschinaman2200]

depends on the scenario

[@travispratt6327]

This is cool as hell, it reminds me of how NASCAR got started, just guys seeing how fast they can make their rig and get around a track.

[@brodymcmedia6187]

This looks like an amazing sport! I hope we get to see more of it.

[@MicBergsma]

So sick i love it!

[@stevenvanheel3932]

That looks scary as hell but really fun at the same time.

[@chrisvan5715]

Steven Vanheel it is with logs but fun

[@DKluvTALZY]

chris van they do try to clear it as much as possible. they only leave a few logs behind and those ones are ones that are clearly visible and left to be obstacles. its not like they host this event without searching for underlying logs and what not. point is the circuit is checked through first and made sure its possible. aslong as you're not a fool you wont hit any logs.

[@zackforister]

More often than not those go hand in hand 😈🏎

[@testy462]

Thing: exists Australian: I can race it

[@txrcnoob]

Aussies clearly know how to have a good time. Would be awesome to see here in the states as well.

[@slyarsenal]

What a rush! Terrific place to hold the race. Australia, our beautiful country!

[@crisrose9707]

there's something just mesmerizing about the way they turn.

[@red_pills]

what kind of racing do you do with your mate? Australia: yes

[@tahsin8296]

RedBull making the dreams comes true for the kids that never wanna grow up!!!

[@pattyleabo426]

We've been doing this in Texas before it was cool! Love the Aussies! You guys got heart! Much love from gulf coast Texas!

[@anthonydaniels9199]

Love from Gulf Shores

[@ofamilyonthemove1238]

Damn, that looks fun! Would watch this if it was a tv series following these guys around

[@mattt4145]

i do not think i have ever watched a motor sport more entertaining than that.

[@muhammadlim3525]

This Dinghy Racing is like Sidecar Racing on TT Isle of Man! Fantastic!

[@peter1708]

Incredible skill, nerve, teamwork and ingenuity!

[@thiagomerlo8067]

Tem q ter muita coragem e pilotar muito parabéns Deus abençoe vocês

[@wadebenn4529]

What a cool Aussie sport 🍻🍻

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

the whips are so gnarly!

[@jvaughn090284]

Kick ass, what a great sport! What an amazing sport!

[@herbskiwiexperience4824]

Good shit ...herbs kiwi experience 10ft dinghy with 3x15hp out board motors worth watching

[@YouTube_user3333]

12ft dinghy with 3, 15hp engines is actually slow. Too much drag. Two 15’s would be better on such a small boat. But ultimately you want a two cylinder 35hp two stroke 😂

[@donbetz9611]

I'm a million and 5 miles away lol but I was holding my breath as y'all slid thru those turns i love this vid

[@SteveSalstrand]

Love the video production quality and the introduction to the sport!

[@MrOgre1110]

Definitely needs to be a support category for the ski races like the southern 80

[@cookinitmax]

Wow I've watched this for the first time never knew of this and I'm hooked insanely fun looking.

[@joenicholls4328]

Life's all about getting out of your comfort zone and enjoying these incredible adrenaline fueled experiences 😊

[@Echi1d]

never seen this before and im highly into motorsports. This is awesome! everything from the small boat to huge engine on the back. Let alone the navigator is literally hanging out of the boat. and to mention that they aren't even using a steering wheel! CRAZY!!

[@dylanmilne6683]

Could never do something like this in the UK. Too much fun to be allowed.

[@joncabral9019]

What are the type of boats they use (Specifically the type of boats?)? Also what are the engines they use too?

[@foodland2011]

+jon cabral we use a 319 stacer proline, with a 30 Yamaha engine

[@ericsfederman]

awesome. This should be a televised action sport event sponsored by SanDisk and GoPro!

[@sharkfin2009]

Awesome...Aussies have too much fun!

[@tobiasjohansson1]

Yeess love it! So happy to have watched it

[@nickburke8729]

Reminds me of sidecar racing but a little bit wetter. Would love to see this become a well known motor sport. Pure racing at its best

[@DENMONKEY]

kudos boys. Balls out rip tearing fun. I hate tiller steering a boat. I can't imagine racing along at this speed and controlling the boat. nice one.

[@ripme6616]

They definitely deserve recognition.. but the Australian Waterways need even more concern

[@joelyboyblue]

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen, Freakin awesome , lucky Aussies

[@BatMan-oe2gh]

There is the Avon Descent in Perth Western Australia. 124 kms over 2 days. It is a wild event as well. Same thing, Tinnys going flat out.

[@iNeedtofocus]

Second song? sounds like m83 but can't find it anywhere...

[@markhoffmier1386]

Riding a stand-up jet ski would be awesome on those waterways.

[@RookieTiger]

That speed with just 30 hp? Insane, but so epic.

[@akaSkItTLes23]

Aidan R. the boat probaly weighs less than 30kg without the engine..

[@RookieTiger]

akaSkItTLes23 I didn't doubt it, I'm just amazed.

[@barje.waffles5461]

They are 30hp when stock....

[@jacedetweiler7147]

Wow rally racing made it to the water I'm hooked

[@fishingbrazils.a.2640]

This is life, man! This is life!

[@toddbrown1902]

A very well done video. The producers could make someone painting a wall look like they were changing the world.

[@BradBrother]

THAT LOOKS SO. MUCH. FUN!

[@Jeffrey9In4Chains]

I just learned about this sport and I love it already

[@MrGlossyEdits]

This looks like a ton of fun!

[@MurzikTV]

Очень смелые ребята, на приделе возможностей !

[@chriscastaneda7350]

This looks fun as hell !

[@jeffstryker1454]

That’s fully sick bro.👍👍👍

[@andresaguilera7245]

What a cool sport!

[@BOURNE354]

I cant imagine what kind of adrenaline rush that brings on ,wow what fun

[@yohon8977]

It looks like a quick death if you screw up. These guys are nuts

[@JSINNXS]

You guys are so crazy lol but mad props to y'all gotta be adrenaline filled to the max!!!

[@woodduck97]

Where can you find the velocity stack for the carbs and also what kinda mods are done to the motor carbs and such? Thanks

[@tearsofrageclan4143]

Those 30 HP 3 cylinder Yamaha outboards are "stupid fast" when you put a tuner in them, change out the carbs for Mikuni's, toss on a low water lower unit and add a raker prop!!! I had one back in the late 80's on a 12 foot Cajun Special boat and would outrun guys with up to 80 hp outboards all day long!!!

[@slurpnterps698]

Gotta really trust the dude driving the rocket sled

[@davidheitman7004]

if you ran a merc motor you'd win all day long bro!. as swampers as they called us in high school. in long beach ny. we ran yammies. good, but now merc is the best on the highend!

[@GodBlessedAmerica]

Absolutely awesome. What top speeds do these boats run on average? Thanks

[@sparkymizzo]

90 klm/hr

[@dylansimms5551]

Awesome seeing a video from somewhere that is driving distance from where I live.

[@rAustinBall]

Please! what is that second song!? so good. Also this sport looks like the best thing ever.

[@antman4646]

These are flat bottom boats right? How do you keep them from porpoising? With electric trim, adjustable trim tabs, or is the boat manufactured with a hook on the pad? I've been doing this kind of thing for 25 years through the marsh lands here in Amityville, New York. My Carolina Skiff lays down nice sliding threw the turns with precision but sitting two guys in the back makes it porpoise down the straights.

[@Thetimbercruiser]

+Ant Man I know they use manual hydraulic trim. I assume the beat some sort of hook into the hull to keep it from porpoising and to make it float the nose the way it does on pad.

[@robertshepherd995]

V-nose with a slight V shape in the bottom of the hull.

[@ryanpierce9793]

Love everything about this. @4:10 awesome shot.

[@MR_ii_5150]

Reminds me of motorcycle sidecar racing on water. Awesome!

[@BigBen1991]

I used to do this with my 14 Foot John Boat, but it was 0 degrees F! My buddy would run the 18HP Evinrude and Id lean and call out turns up front. So much fun especially on a 8 foot wide river.

[@TylersTheName]

This was awesome!

[@nicholaschristophorou3087]

Fun way to break bones... I LOVE IT!!!

[@gregc6661]

Tough as nails buggers! Love it!

[@ImZoik]

When the hot spot is going off and you need to be the first one to get there 👏🏻

[@AdamArtzi]

This sport looks actually really cool...

[@D4RKDJBJ]

I've canoed here many times as i live only 1 hour away from it. it's so much fun. but in summer there are little (but heaps of) spiders on the water there at renmark... but i definitely recommend ppl to try out.

[@Mrmegamiloman]

This Should be an Aussie nation sport!

[@BradGryphonn]

Why the hell have I NEVER heard of this? Cheezuz! This is mad crazy scary dangerous but would be more fun than a spa party.

[@JnTheRealWorld]

I hate to be this person... but please tell me the song in the background around 2 minutes. Shazam couldnt even find it.

[@johnkang2000]

So close to taking off!

[@simaomoreira2903]

[@BruceBusby]

These folks are awesome!

[@zgambler1]

you people are nuts love it i ran offshore powerboats you beat that

[@rchrd1bolt]

Taking nothing and making into a awsome sport,how cool is that.Two thumbs up!

[@TinnyBashing]

This is Great.

[@randyneil6161]

You guys should visit Trinidad and Tobago once every year there is a boat race that starts in Trinidad and the finish line is Tobago

[@markusantonio4866]

Nice Holden Torana at the beginning.

[@BM205]

Crazy!Then add Crocs to the mix and that's INSANE!

[@nathanallen2051]

You all have good vlogs red bull and romanatwood I wish I cold met you

[@TheRealArtofSports]

Nice! But so dangerous! Respect!

[@samp.8781]

Looks like so much fun!

[@Pablo-kt7cz]

[@larryjones9868]

Just curious, Does anyone know anything about a Yamaha right hand drive tiller handle? I can't find anything about them. I have one

[@larryjones9868]

​@Turbo Last Name I found out what I needed. Thanks

[@Snowboardmaster023]

does the guy in the front just add weight to the front of the boat?

[@flavourboss4997]

Yeah i'm assuming they try and keep the majority of the turning surface in contact with the water and to stop it rolling on turns. But at the same time balancing that with speed by bringing weight back a little on straights so that less of the boat drags in the water enabling higher speeds. I used to race thundercats and it's similar but these guys have tree branches and shit to worry about.

[@johncuervo3019]

55-56mph on that little boat!! Fawk

[@9thGenerationCajun]

Love it,This kind of looks like Louisiana,People here are raised running boats through the bayou's like this.. We call them Flat-boats here.

[@vitiate111]

at that speed how do you keep from hitting any wildlife in the area?
