i watched this video when it came out over 6 years ago...still watch it from time to time...so peacefull...love the music

[@peterbell2446]

If you are interested, the music up to 6:27 is Greenland, by Emancipator kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6THf6iXa5hlppI

Me too.Love the music as it goes well with the vid 😊

[@andersisacson8262]

Must have seen this movie 50 times. Amazed everytime of the river and it's surroundings. The music is perfect for this scenery. Greetings from Sweden.

[@goatracing610]

It was a perfect day to go up there, I normally get up there in the boat 2-3 times a year, thanks for watching

[@PapaWheelie1]

Little known fact- that five gallon red tank has water in it. Just enough to get home if the river runs dry.

No big deal. Just cruising through middle earth on my speed boat...

[@nikolai3620]

Well since middle earth is in New Zealand, I would say no.

No, the term is equivalent to what it's being applied to. Just give it up, man...

Waterjet Propulsion boats were first developed in NZ by Sir William Hamilton who started out in 1939 at Irishmans Creek. They are the only way to get up the braided rivers of NZ.

[@sbrunner69]

i don't think Ive ever seen more beautiful place. so open spaces, large, wonderful. would love to go there.

[@nudist0885]

[@gardenguru461]

I don't care if this is a year old comment! Theirs a company that offers rides through the mountains where Lord of the rings was filmed. 12 people in the boat, can travel on 30cm of water, the arsehole driving then decides to start doing 360's. The most amazing country I've ever been too

[@generalkayoss7347]

The mini boats like this can run in as little as 4 inches of water.

[@brianmoore1820]

I appreciate you video. It's the only way I'd ever get to see such beauty and your skill at handling the craft. Thanks.

[@reneshay889]

Absolutely amazing! Such beautiful scenery and was shocked how shallow water was . Wonderful music also.

[@TranceFur]

This is extremely impressive. Both the driving and the fact that the boat can run in a couple inches of water and make it over rocks. 6:10 was so good.

[@blueskiesnz]

The BEST small jet video clip ever. Excellent scenery & top class (in sympathy) music. Congratulations

[@amerj5243]

I could watch this all day !! 😍🌈🌞🌄🏜🗻⛰🛶

[@Simon-gj2yc]

Listening to 1ZB talkback on that sweet headset radio while fanging a mini jetboat in literally centimetres of water. Entertaining! Love NZ. Scenery is amazing. Perspective works really well.

[@ModifiedMachinesUK]

Awesome video, shocked at how well that boat coped with the shallow water. what an amazing looking place too!

[@martondaniel1]

This is the peak of life, having this journey, the driver has a style and what a style

[@flintfinderkb]

probably need to trade that life preserver in for a helmet. your not gonna drown in 2 inches of water.

[@flintfinderkb]

ULTRA NOOB wow. I make a comment about a helmet and a life preserver and I don't know about water sports. your name is very fitting. ultra noob. perfect

[@MarksTournaments]

ULTRA NOOB fucking destroyed

[@montegb2951]

New Zealand, like most shitty countries in this overly-regulated world, requires a properly sized life jacket for every person on board.... considering the size of the boat, it's probably just as easy to wear it as stow it.

[@fredfredburger1511]

your first sentence is extremely false. Use some logic lmfao...

[@Alfsp1]

Hahhahah zz top dude nearly went rocking and rolling ass up ... head first into all them rocks ...needs a helmet l reackon

A Most excellent example of shallow draft boating as I have ever seen. Few people are actually away of how serious a sport it is . Well Done. G'Day Mate.

[@LatelyDrowsy]

Jet boating was crazy fun! Last summer or their winter, I went in the freezing cold and it was an amazing experience. What so cool is that the boat barely touches the waters surface so you’re literally flying and can get crazy close to the shore and make impossible turns!

[@MrJordib14]

After working 10 hours a day, these 7 minutes made my day. Life is a hoax as Alan watts would say...

Any idea what this track is called or who it is?

[@ukmudlover7839]

RekLes not sure but I think iys some kind of deep trance music

[@DanaChapman1]

It's called "Greenland" by Emancipator

[@ukmudlover7839]

Dana Chapman cheers buddy

[@DesertPackrat]

Greenland may be the trance version but it's a spinoff of the song "Fade to Grey" by Visage from the 80s( maybe 90s).

[@Daniel_Kro]

A beautiful landscape. I hope people will not destroy it. Thanks for movie ;)

U should love country it's 😍

[@andreitelyakov6352]

agree 100% ! Unreal nature ! Love it!

[@toddbrackett4277]

Amazing scenery. I know that these jet boats draw very little water but how can you tell that you have enough at these speeds? How often do you have to repair the hull/replace the impeller?

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

If you come to a stop...you have too little water. Usually it is stones being sucked off the bottom and blocking the intake grate. No intake= no jet=stopped. The impellor is stainless steel and the wear ring (the orifice in which it works) is custom machined brass..not standard plastic...so it can take the small stones without smashing up things... Goatracing 610 has in other videos, (especially when he moved to an inflatable with a Tohatsu 50hp jet leg) stated that he constructed 7 new hulls in 11 years. Just click on his channel name above and this will take you to all his vids...

Av987 Google 'UHMW plastic'. The bottomside of the boat is clad with it.

[@james1377c15]

[@VancouverCanucksRock]

Probably the same Alloy as his Balls, STEEL!

[@ericheagan3624]

The whole body is made of aluminum.

[@crisbrackett2067]

Eric Heagan and the motor? Jet propelled, correct?

[@DanTweekStudios]

So Cool! I used to drive a Jet Boat similar to this one. A small 14ft Boston Whaler with a 115hp OMC . They only made them for a few years i think, they were INSANELY fast, but I was lucky enough to have one and would tear ass around tiny back waterways. Some were only a few inches deep and 4 ft wide in sections, but you take it to a whole other level! this looks insane and great fun, plus your view is MUCH nicer than NJ back waters lol. Great video! Made me a bit nostalgic...

doesn't the water intakes and impeller get damaged by the rocks and sand it takes in?

[@lastmanstanding5261]

Ripped Up1 I believe that 100%. bloody awesome. F yes.

[@loooseunit]

Ha ha yeah , by a farmer who wanted a faster and better way to check on his stock . It was in an area not too far from this very river . Remember watching the black and white video just after Hamilton invented it . Dam I'm getting old !

[@kylabinghay3277]

So how does it prevent small stones and sand from being sucked in and damaging the impeller?

[@benwhitmore2265]

Kyla Binghay it dosent, just eats me up, big ones will break or stop the impeller tho
