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.

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.

Bruh it's rally racing with boats xD fuckin awesome

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.

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

Thing: exists Australian: I can race it

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

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

Incredible skill, nerve, teamwork and ingenuity!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is Great.

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!!

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

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

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

the whips are so gnarly!

I just learned about this sport and I love it already

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

Had me smiling the whole time

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

That’s fully sick bro.👍👍👍

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

Reminds me of motorcycle sidecar racing on water. Awesome!

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

This was awesome!

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.

Tough as nails buggers! Love it!

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

TOTALLY LOVE THIS ! HOW DO I WATCH MORE OF ?

This looks like a ton of fun!

This looks fun as hell !

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

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

Nice Holden Torana at the beginning.

THAT LOOKS SO. MUCH. FUN!

Looks like so much fun!

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.

That's really extreme bro.....

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

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

That looks awesome

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.

Looks like a ton of fun

Thats awesomely insane

I think of Evinrude the dragon fly on the Disney movie " the rescuers "when I see these races 🤣🤣

That takes a lot of skill. Wow

Well that just looks fun as all hell

Looks like duck hunting opener morning, everyone racing to the best spot at 4 am.

now That's Exciting I'd think some protective clothing like motorcycle leathers.

holy crap that looks fun!

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

KZread shows me all the things I never knew I wanted and can't afford lol

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.

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

Ya! That's unreal!

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

this is INSANE

This sport is... AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Decided, Australia , There I go!!!

These folks are awesome!

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

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

That looks so fun!!!!

Great fucking edit, beautiful piece.
