Jet Boat Marathon Circuit Racing 1500hp Turbine. Canada World Championship Day1

[@kevinsellsit5584]

Nigel Cromie has Tungsten Carbide balls ... that are even Nickel Chrome plated. The bridge made me very nervous.

[@danielwojahn5651]

omg, I cannot even imagine the adrenaline rush! you guys are nuts, and your boats are crazy cool! I used to be a jet mech on A10 aircraft, so my love of turbines runs deep! that looks intense! those boats sure dance on that water! stay safe guys and thanks for the insane footage!

[@nigelcromie990]

Oh Nice! We might need you to give our engines a tune up! thanks man. appreciate the comment

[@snydedon9636]

@@nigelcromie990 does that boat have a fish finder on it? Looking to upgrade my bass boat to something that gets me to my favorite fishing spots a little faster. BTW awesome video!

[@ericb6784]

that looks insanely dangerous and for some strange reason i want to do this.

[@Greg_Chase]

It's astonishingly dangerous. Hitting the water at high speed is completely different from diving in from the side of the pool. The elasticity of water vanishes as the speed of your entry into it increases. Water 'gives way' and elastic recoil is a 'gentle resistance' if you dive in from the side of the pool. If you jump off the high dive, your speed when you enter the water is much higher. If you 'belly smack' at that speed, you know what happens. In a boat at these speeds............ well I won't get graphic. There is no 'give way', there is no 'elastic recoil' offered by water when you enter it at high speed. There is no elasticity at all. Well, there is as much elasticity as that offered by a brick wall. .

[@jhosk]

Same, maybe a bit slower

[@User_USSR]

And it will be your last time 😂

[@АлександрРогозин-ц4я]

Powerful! On water, the control is not at all like on land, and when the pilot is walking in the wake of another vessel, it is generally incomprehensible how he keeps his own at such a speed. I was especially struck by the passage under the bridge - the testicles of the guys are probably made of tungsten))))

[@BlueBeam10]

Talking about the testicules of other men...You must be such a sweet heart.

[@JGCSRT]

You certainly don’t want to miscalculate going under that bridge.

[@georgevue8175]

Jet boat racing = Living life at the edge awesome show!

[@GR8W8north]

Wow, that was absolutely insane. These guys have no fear. Working that steering wheel like a boss, thought it looked like it wanted to spin out a couple times and buddy whipped it hard over…milliseconds for the save! Wow…gonna be watching a bunch more of these guys ( subscribed… ).

[@colinashby3775]

More intense than F1. Great stuff

[@myUtbechannelMW]

Nice boat !!! Good driving !!! Too bad the rooster tail makes it so hard to pass when maybe could have been done. The opponent is good too !!! Thanks for listing the speed - really interesting.

[@pauldevery6173]

Damn how do you guys sit on those brass ones? Man, those bridges come up fast.

[@joeprinsen1717]

that bloke in the truck on the bridge would've been like WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

[@vonJaerschky]

So getting some air just before one of those bridges would be bad?

[@mobilestech5052]

Ohhhhhh God! Simply amazing! I will even pay to drive at that speed! Truly, truly outstanding!!!

[@quadelewis6433]

Definitely In Whitecourt they know what there doing they do this race allmost every year in the same spot that beige really isn't as scary as it looks there just going really fast. excellent event it's usually talk of the town used to go every year

[@stevegauthier6694]

Nuckin futs! Some of them turns look sketchy AF. Looks fun

[@mcderpins7553]

Where was this bass tournament held at?

[@wadestipp1833]

Yeah they wanted to get to the fish first.

[@laundrieshanging9077]

Ahahahahahahahah

[@arthurbatti9854]

Can’t believe how glued in the bow of the boat is.

[@nigelcromie990]

Yes! along as you have some good throttle on there is lots of grip. It is when you are slowing down with low throttle they get a bit slippery

[@stevenlarratt3638]

What planet was this on? I didnt see the guage go over 1g like on earth

[@kurtkaster5666]

That's an entirely different experience for the one in the lead, than it is for the others dealing with that wake and spray. Wow!

[@pauldionne2884]

Looks like a lot more fun than power-washing the bottom of the boat at the end of the season!

[@haraldeberhardt4384]

I never thought that counter steering is a thing in boat racing!!!!

[@markjessurun1294]

Nice Run and Good Speed 2 !! I like these Jet Boats ! U Guys have a Safe Race and lots of Fun !!

[@MrAnderson234]

Yo, i've never seen this before. This looks like an absolute riot, GOOD GRAVY

[@kalaspears6288]

for the people in the US top speed at 205 kph is 125 mph and that is fast on water

[@seadoomania]

You guys are fearless of death and I love it 👍👍

[@georgevue8175]

Open throttle on Covid-19 empty roads.

[@doca8792]

“Honey, just gonna hit the river, see what we can catch. Might never come back. Luv ya.”

[@DiabloOutdoors]

I want that boat for fishing!!! Imagine, trolling with this boat would allow you to catch your limit within 50 or 60 seconds!

[@joeprinsen1717]

how does the paint manage to stay on the bottom of the hull??? crazy

[@bakkerem1967]

Now this is what insanity looks like... Amazing shots ! At these speeds the water is more harsh than concrete. On concrete you don't sink when you've ejected and eventually came to a halt.

[@Robert-mn8gc]

The SOB infront of U was Fast . U took some faster lines . Gr8 Driving

[@SlayerHawkX]

The 1st boat was just too fast..good stuff!!

[@Ralph2]

Just watching has me exhausted!

[@LiquidAudio]

Scary and super impressive, the motorcyclist in me especially loves the acceleration from 50 - 150 km/h!

[@None_yabusiness69420]

things got three speeds here there and gone

[@levimurcer9520]

Wait is he flying that jet boat like literally is it flying or on the water that’s wild. 80/20 flying while wet

[@Elchapo62]

Looks like you are in Peace River, beautiful area.

[@Vidar.m]

got more in common with planes than with boats. crazy fast !

[@emanuele5799]

1:16 this moment under the bridge scared the shit outta me

[@philipf8774]

200 kmh on the water. Insane!

[@blipco5]

F'n crazy. Especially under the bridges. 😳

[@8180634]

4:27 yikes! Not a good place to lose control!

[@terryfonz4603]

This has to have a high death rate between the bridge pillings and the logs how do they make sure somebody just won’t be fishing in a kayak on the course that day?

[@quadelewis6433]

It's a well know event and that rivers not the safest anyways it's not advised to go in it there neer Whitecourt the death rate usaly come from people in kayaks getting stuck in the log jams and the people drowning and the bridge really is like a 75 foot gap it's pritty easy to miss in a 6tf wide boat even if your going stupid fast they pritty much hold the races there because it's to dangerous for anything elce but it not white water so the boats can actually go fast

[@quadelewis6433]

One year they had to use the other river in town and the actually had problems with people on the river and they shut it down on day 1 so there usaly pritty good with that I think they even banned the really fast boats that year too

[@Андрей-ъ4с4д]

Что за материал? из чего сделаны яйца этих ребят?

[@absynthetheartist]

Fish just sitting there chillin', till they're not.

[@dericklong6191]

How much fuel are in these things? And are they sucking in water and blowing it out the back?

[@MrCoreystorm]

Was this near Whitecourt? I know there's boat races there once a year.

[@nigelcromie990]

Yes, that's the one. This was right in Whitecourt!

[@MrCoreystorm]

@@nigelcromie990 Right On! Thanks! I thought I could recognize the built stone walls on the bank.

[@jamestemple5696]

The wind sounds fkn amazing.... ????

[@thomasulbrich971]

Sorry guys, but what means KPH, is it the rotation of the turbine ?

[@Андрей-ш4д5ь]

Если я правильно понимаю они летят со скоростью 320 км .ч ?

[@doktorzappergeck492]

What is the job of the second person on board?

[@mwooly1]

Great driving seems other boat is faster looks amazing adrenaline rush watch those bridge column....😳

[@Headerflame]

I’m not sure if it’s the potential of having a blow over or the accidental wake bouncing the boat into the pillars that’d be worse. Honestly, I’d say it’s not if it’s going to happen, it’s just a matter of when!

[@SHaughom]

Ehm… I believe (hope) that that telemetry shows km/h and not knots!? 😬

[@JxH]

I've done about 140 kts (~260 kph) on water. It was aboard (LOL) the neighbour's float plane (a good one, with a big engine). He took me for a flight, and he did a very high speed, very long duration extended touch-and-go, skipping across a nearby lake at an indicated 140 kts. Then, for the icing on the cake, he slammed the throttles forward, yanked the stick back, and took off near-vertical up to 1000-feet before leveling off. Yeah, float planes are very very very fast boats.

[@thedude3291]

No.

[@j-cuts9396]

anyone know what happens when a human body his water at 200kph? you dont want too

[@chadthiem8371]

you guys have balls of fricken steel man holy cow

[@stuffedgrubs]

The Holden sticker on the dash definitely an Aussie.... Won't see those stickers anymore sad sad day for Australia that was.. 😔😥

[@savagemako17]

I'm guessing that the 1500 HP was not the boat shooting the video!!

[@lbeck119]

At those speeds.,. Why wear a helmet?

[@lililililililili8667]

Are those winglets fixed position or does it have active aero to keep the bow from flying up if it gets out of hand

[@nigelcromie990]

We run lift wings so mainly trying to keep the front of the boat up, but not too high!. Constantly adjusting them with buttons on the wheel depending on the wind and trim of the boat

[@denislemelin7653]

That looks like a really good time !!! Seems like the heart rate is pretty high most of the ride, all the drift wood and/or logs on the shore line is a bit concerning ! 185 KPH !!!!!

[@Dr.IanPlect]

Are you blind?

[@denislemelin7653]

What ?!!! Did I miss something ? Please tell me.

[@Dr.IanPlect]

@@denislemelin7653 Yes, you did and it's obvious.

[@paletats15]

one hell of a ride dude.

[@Z-Ack]

Friggn 100mph minimum the entire race.. jeez.. fastest ive been on the water ever was 87mph and that was fast as hell.. fastest ive wrecked on the water was 72 and i skipped for a whole 20 seconds seemed like before i dug in and splooshed.. had a jet sky i was hitting top speed and front decided to take flight and came back down sideways enough to eat shit..

[@edbroaotearoa1198]

I honestly wander what the fish think as these go by.

[@DV7Dave]

You can't think when you get sucked in to a jet pump and come out of the other end the same consistency as the water that went in with you. lol

[@volvo245]

I don't want to die alone. Will you join me on this trip up the river? Great!

[@scottsthaname1]

This is the craziest ride I've ever been on without leaving the house... wonder what the fish see when it goes by...👍

[@russellking9762]

F , , K THAT…it only takes a log in the water and you’ll be chewing the fat with The Grim Reaper…respect bro!

[@greyguy.960]

Windsurfing at 40knots is fast enough for me. Especially when your head is 2 ft above the water. The best thing about wind power is no noise except for the board planes .

[@BC-ni3sk]

Amazing the speed with which these boats travel but one placed rock or stump brings it all to a halt.

[@Mephistopholies]

So COOL! Why aren't dudes doing this on Seadoos?!

[@quicksilver462]

Boat still has better steering control than a 1970 Roadrunner I used to have.

[@user-cb1vo1ik4b]

man o man, you have to work so much harder to keep up to the lead boat let alone pass him...pummeled by the lead boat's rooster tail, poor visibility, and taking whatever line the lead boat leaves you to name a few, makes for a busy and challenging day...it would be cool to see heart rates...I know mine is higher from just watching...

[@alexandermathar7780]

We need real 1000 mile endurance races. Yukon, Lena, Irtysch, Danube...

[@acerc.e.4279]

Tell me How do you damp all distructive vibration to protect your split shaft engine? And is it affecting your clearance from blades tips to the inside cowling walls? Does your labyrinth seals wear more? How's your engine thrust bearing and radial bearing?

[@MrBlaadieblaa]

Wow you know some difficult words!

[@nigelcromie990]

Hey mate! we have the engine mounted on nylon bushes at the back and also on a hanging mount at the front which allows the engine to grow and shrink with the temperature it produces. But at the sometime it is resonably solid so we don't have any issues with blade clearances, bushes or bearings. Unless something else goes wrong which puts pressure on the bearings.

[@elisabethvilcot865]

La pile de pont ou un bois flottant 200 à l’heure en brûlant plein de carburant hummm…. Ça vaut l’OFNI au Vendée Globe

Makes the Isle of Man tt look safe!😳

Couldn’t catch the Chevy sprint boat, should’ve changed the speedometer to miles per hour and would’ve gone faster lol. Awesome video!

[@Bobby8451]

At 0:39 I was ducking watching this. Lol 😆

[@joshuajones634]

Hitting 190 kph or 118 mph on water would be like driving on the surface of speed bumps with limited steering at 60mph really cool

Мне показалось или они и в самом деле по кругу ходят?

Is there not a windshield wtf. Lol water hits you at 120mph its gonna hurt
