If you guys want to see REAL jet boat racers watch "The Prophet River Boat Pull". It stars Phillip Dexter, Mike Phillips, and Tim Harding. With Rubin Hansen there for technical advice!

There are 5 videos, so don't miss out on a single heart stopping minute. NGU.

@rockinpiano1 Saw it about 9 months ago on the Eagle site. James put it up back when he was working there.

did they die? sorry if someone already asked but i didnt notice if so.

[racing16]

No they explain what happened at the begging of the video. No need to apologize.

[TheLinkify]

drivers are still in the boat or have they got them out?

[racing16]

They were out at this time.

[speedbanana2008]

I feel sorry for the fish - I bet it was thinking:

"Hey this is a GREAT place to live - I just got my own jetboat - wait 'till my girlfriend sees THIS!!"

and then suddenly you are back in the river, like all the other fish :-(

[Siskuwihane]

Why are so many on the river not wearing PFD'S?

@HOPPERFZR

Pay attention to what? There's absolutly nothing in either video about the crew. The boat is more important than the crew, right? Idiots racing in rapids like this, is bound to end this way.

[memilesb1]

Do the guys on the rescue boat regularly travel in those ice cold churning waters without life vests???

[HOPPERFZR]

@rockinpiano1 saw it sorry it doesnt cut it

[HOPPERFZR]

@420jered  your the dumbass, they didnt die , pay attention !!!!

[HOPPERFZR]

a little wd- 40 and it should fire right up

[2bornot2b1984]

Awesome job guys.

That boat would have been a liability sitting at the bottom, and could have become an unexpected problem at some point.

Excellent work.

[AngryNerd07]

@420jered they didnt

[ambertjeblue]

This was a really great clip to watch. Really showed the way people work together. It's something about boats. I love deep sea fishing, and the vibe between the guys was similar. You race or fish against each other, but when it comes down to the line, everyone helps. Love it. Thanks.

@airborne373 LMAO - great punch line. I hope all your jumps are glorious and incident free :) You ever done any Base jumping? (think that is what it's called)

[airborne373]

@Sparta2310 Airborne School is three weeks long. In the first week they separate the men from the boys. In the second week they separate the fools from the men. In the third week the fools jump. lol
