H1 IS SO AMATEUR.

[@barneymiller6204]

And their video quality live was pretty bad. It looks ok here.

[@tombutler876]

Then don't watch. You want to help volunteer or help get some major sponsors?

[@northwestrider369]

I’m from Seattle but live in NC now. Waiting for seafair.

[@adrianp3098]

Same, hope some of the crashed boats can be repaired for seafare.

[@redcedar777]

What I see: Jimmy flew the blue boat (now U-91) perfectly level. When the boat came out of the water, it was still at zero pitch. That bow never came up. Andrew is letting the bow up about a half degree. The boat looks out of attitude. Hard to tell if that is coming off the wing or because the prop is not giving enough lift to the stern. Sure does not look to me like that boat is running in its best trim.

[@redcedar777]

Why on earth won't H1 allow the streaming to coninue so we can see what is going on after a crash. That makes NO sense at all. Very discouraging to true fans who want to know what is happening. VERY BAD DECISION.

[@matthewa64]

My assessment is, Andrew held back and was getting the feel of the boat in other wakes, remember he is still learning the boat. We still need more top end. It would be even if all the boats weighed the same for the power supplied. Great run Strong Racing with in the rules!

[@rayburton5300]

They DO all weigh the the same, they all have a minimum weight, around 6500lbs I believe. Its up to each team to get their boat to the weight they can, but not below it.

[@matthewa64]

Great run Strong Racing! Keep digging, because Andrew was coming from fourth position and managed to claim second!

[@DwightPerkins-i7t]

Tate didn't get a good start but still almost ran everybody down. Great race especially on the last 2 laps and thankfully no flips.👍👍

And Miss Madison racing will have the U1 back on that boat for 2025. Tate drove a hell of a race to move all the way up into second, one more lap and Tate would have had it he just got a bad start this time

[@dzexperience883]

Wrong​@@therifleman5611

[@redcedar777]

Another terrible decision by H1 has to do with the U-number registration on the hulls. Other than the U-1 temporary designation for the previous season winner, no boat should ever be allowed to change its registration number. How can we compare one designer with another, one hull with another, when the hulls are always changing numbers? The current designation for U-91 is really crazy. I also object to the reuse of U-27 and U-37. These should have been retired numbers for the historical respect paid to the Slo-Mo's.

[@dzexperience883]

Yahoo Corey Peabody with the W and congrats to the Hopper.

[@thebetterlifepath]

Where’s heat Heat 2B with the flip??

[@DangerTurtle91]

The blow over was the day before

[@thebetterlifepath]

@@DangerTurtle91I was referring to the “crash” in the next race.. I found it after a bunch of “skimming” the whole day 😂

[@DangerTurtle91]

@@thebetterlifepath gotcha

[@therifleman5611]

Got to have it to andrew, even though he got a bad start he pushed that Goodman boat all the way up to second, one more lap and Tate would have won

[@MrRoute661]

You need longer strings between your communication soup cans…interesting …not!! View of the bridge and Laura and Hardy blabbing.

[@joea7339]

Maybe they could get 3 or 4 more announcers to talk all over each other?

[@JohnDoe-ue9zz]

Someone give Brad the AED!

[@jimpern]

What the heck is a DMZ violation?

[@MrRoute661]

Like watching amateur hour. Ridiculous!

[@markconner3234]

Tate was caught sleeping

[@MrNova1969]

I'm sure they told Tate after the weekend that they had to keep the boat on the water since their sponsor is based in Seattle and they want to make a good showing at Seafair next weekend

[@taunupe86]

That one dude has got to stop yelling on EVERY lap of EVERY broadcast. Annoying AF!

[@K2SKIER112]

Brad. FFS, yes
