DAN "THE DESTROYER" ROWAN

Age;15, occupation; unfortunatly still at school! This will be my second year on the tour because i loved it so much last year!
Been skiing around a year and a half now, slowly learning new tricks!
I ride a 2000 superjet with thanks to my moaning now has a few mods on lol.
I run a 760 Loki customs freestyle ported engine with tonnes of other bits on and it runs like a dream. Ski has got a front exhaust, b pipe, Loki cylinder head, aftermarket pole and bracket and finally footholds and handholds. loads of other little bits. tescos, every little helps.
prop has been repitched by Loki customs to cope with the extra power and the next mod is a Loki small tank conversion.
Hoping to ski at all the rounds this year and meet loads of new friends along the way and maybe learn some new tricks.
Most memorable moments on a jetski; recently landing my first barrel roll at rhosniegr in the surf and also skiing at abersoch with the crew during summer 2006.
Most scary moment: running my ski with no cooling at 6 hills for a few minutes(long enough!) and just hour before competition and then taking the hood off to see a glowing engine block through tonnes of smoke!
Many thanks to everyone who i ski with helping be learn tricks and special thanks to sponsors Loki Customs who have built me a great ski for this season (www.lokicustoms.co.uk) and radioactivecomms (AKA Dad) (www.664242.com),and Imagewerx.
Life ambition, to pull a flatwater backflip and to never stop skiing!

CHRIS "NO PUMP SHOE" MILLER

Age 35.
Occupation; electrician
This year I will be running in the new sport class with a blaster1.
It has a 701 engine with a single carb, after market head & protec pipe. There will be a few more mods to be done but it all takes time and money, so as soon as some is available I will take it to jetshed for a ‘good looking at’.The hull has a rear exit exhaust conversion & UMI steering system, other than that it is standard.The pump is standard and even runs a standard pitched prop taken from a blaster 800.
I also have a superjet with a 760 jetshed built freestyle motor which pulls like a train, footholds ATP pole & bracket, UMI steering, re-pitched prop and too many other bits to list.
But as my freestyle is not up to much I also bring it along and the other riders are more than willing to try to teach me new tricks.

PAUL "THE SCHOOLBOY" HEWITT

Age 39,Profession:-Marketing Consultant (run Ogam Marketing in partnership with my twin sister Karen)
Live in:-Reading,Took up jet skiing    September 2004
My ski:-The yellow bird. A 2003 Superjet with a nice paint job (in myopinion) Modifications:-Riva cylinders, dry pipe, bilge pump, pole spring,footholds, handholds, nice paint job, freestyle prop and scoop grate, UMIquick steering, freestyle pump cone. Shortly to add side exit exhaust and water injection.
Skiing ambitions    I’d love to be able to pull a back flip or barrel rolland live to tell the tale! Would also be nice to take a 1st, 2nd or 3rd placing in the AM section of the FNT but for me the most important thingis to keep learning and keep improving. I hired a jet ski at the age of 37, having wanted to do this since I was 12! Very jealous of kids on skis and wish I had taken this up 20 years ago!
Best moment :-Doing a head stand on the ski for the first time. I couldn’tstop grinning, and at that point took up freestyle because I started to think if I could do that, anything might be possible.
Most scarey moment    Accidental rodeo. Got my foot wedged on the throttlecoming back over the hood from a headstand, and did the world’s maddestand unintentional rodeo. When I finally got out of it I was on one side of the lake and the ski on the other. Needless to say I haven’t made that mistake again.
My idea of heaven    Skiing early in the morning with the sun coming up andold nog the heron catching his breakfast
Sponsors        Not yet. That would be nice.

lightened fly wheel, MSD enhancer and a few other bits and bobs…
Favourite trick : is always the last one I learnt - currently learning therodeo.

routine and have loads of fun in the process.
