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.
hines862009 Never driven a jetski, but I've done everything else you mentioned and more and this looks infinitely more fun than anything I''ve ever done on water!
Jefreeman13 ride a stand up jet ski. Sit downs are boring as fuck, regardless how much power all they can do is turn and go in a line. Freestyle is where it's at. This does look fucking awesome though :D
+mitchamus Dead right mate! I would have not one of my fishing mad mates that would ever refer to their TINNY as a dinghy. Isn't a dinghy a blow up thing the kids play with in the swimming pool?
+Freuds Cat I originally referred to any of a series of small wooden fishing boats used for various types of fishing, most notably in the Cod fishing industry in New England in the US
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.
12ft dinghy with 3, 15hp engines is actually slow. Too much drag. Two 15’s would be better on such a small boat. But ultimately you want a two cylinder 35hp two stroke 😂
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!!
Those 30 HP 3 cylinder Yamaha outboards are "stupid fast" when you put a tuner in them, change out the carbs for Mikuni's, toss on a low water lower unit and add a raker prop!!! I had one back in the late 80's on a 12 foot Cajun Special boat and would outrun guys with up to 80 hp outboards all day long!!!
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.
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.

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.
They race all the time in Lake Charles ,La...Kent Foreman and friends have folk all over the south meeting on the river
Every kid in Australia that lives near a river wants a tinny before a car.
They race in stadiums in Japan. Works just like horse racing. Cheap fun.
This is expensive though
Now I'd watch that on a Sunday over F1 any day!
Nick McCaffrey exactly
You forgot NASCAR
Eh
@@anonymouswombat9709 nascar is *shit.*
And golf
made me so proud of being aussie. just genuine blokes having some fun.
That looks to be about the most fun you can have on water!!
Jetskiing, wakeboarding and parasailing are just a few things that are funner to do on the water.

- if you've never driven a modern 4-stroke jet-ski, you haven't lived.
Jefreeman13 it is.. and you can buy an old one for about 2 grand, registered with a trailer

Dinghy???
That my friend is a TINNY.

:-)
helicopters with guns
+mitchamus I think if its a descriptive noun that ends in y, usually a sign that its Australian.
This is one of the many things I love about being Australian.We are such a relaxed mob until we get into sport, then we go nuts...:)
And then the Government bans it.
Robert Shepherd yep
go nuts or go home
You guys are nuts, I love it!
Wonderful neighbours of New Caledonia island .😊

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.
Aussies clearly know how to have a good time. Would be awesome to see here in the states as well.
This looks like an amazing sport! I hope we get to see more of it.
What a rush! Terrific place to hold the race. Australia, our beautiful country!
So sick i love it!
Instablaster.
there's something just mesmerizing about the way they turn.
This Dinghy Racing is like Sidecar Racing on TT Isle of Man! Fantastic!
That looks scary as hell but really fun at the same time.
Steven Vanheel it is with logs but fun

More often than not those go hand in hand 😈🏎
Thing: exists
Australian: I can race it
We've been doing this in Texas before it was cool! Love the Aussies! You guys got heart! Much love from gulf coast Texas!
Love from Gulf Shores
RedBull making the dreams comes true for the kids that never wanna grow up!!!
What a cool Aussie sport 🍻🍻
i do not think i have ever watched a motor sport more entertaining than that.
what kind of racing do you do with your mate?
Australia: yes
Incredible skill, nerve, teamwork and ingenuity!
the whips are so gnarly!
Damn, that looks fun! Would watch this if it was a tv series following these guys around
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
Kick ass, what a great sport! What an amazing sport!
They definitely deserve recognition.. but the Australian Waterways need even more concern
Good shit ...herbs kiwi experience 10ft dinghy with 3x15hp out board motors worth watching
12ft dinghy with 3, 15hp engines is actually slow. Too much drag.
Two 15’s would be better on such a small boat.
But ultimately you want a two cylinder 35hp two stroke 😂
Could never do something like this in the UK. Too much fun to be allowed.
In straya their called tinnys not dingys
Well some people do call them dingys. You're just too Australian! hahaha
Zander Gladman-Mitchell exactly fucked hell Fu can you red bull Fuck everyone at least someone bid fucked smart
jamie micheal harris or it is on his shirt at 2:40
We use both well i use both
depends on the scenario
Awesome...Aussies have too much fun!
Love everything about this. @4:10 awesome shot.
Tem q ter muita coragem e pilotar muito parabéns Deus abençoe vocês
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen, Freakin awesome , lucky Aussies
Definitely needs to be a support category for the ski races like the southern 80
Life's all about getting out of your comfort zone and enjoying these incredible adrenaline fueled experiences 😊
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!!
Wow I've watched this for the first time never knew of this and I'm hooked insanely fun looking.
That speed with just 30 hp? Insane, but so epic.
Aidan R. the boat probaly weighs less than 30kg without the engine..
akaSkItTLes23 I didn't doubt it, I'm just amazed.
They are 30hp when stock....
Wow rally racing made it to the water I'm hooked
That’s fully sick bro.👍👍👍
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
Love the video production quality and the introduction to the sport!
kudos boys. Balls out rip tearing fun.
I hate tiller steering a boat. I can't imagine racing along at this speed and controlling the boat. nice one.
Yeess love it! So happy to have watched it
awesome. This should be a televised action sport event sponsored by SanDisk and GoPro!
It looks like a quick death if you screw up. These guys are nuts
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.
THAT LOOKS SO. MUCH. FUN!
This is life, man! This is life!
Riding a stand-up jet ski would be awesome on those waterways.
This looks like a ton of fun!
Gotta really trust the dude driving the rocket sled
This looks fun as hell !
I cant imagine what kind of adrenaline rush that brings on ,wow what fun
Reminds me of motorcycle sidecar racing on water. Awesome!
Очень смелые ребята, на приделе возможностей !
Tough as nails buggers! Love it!
I just learned about this sport and I love it already
you people are nuts love it i ran offshore powerboats you beat that
Fun way to break bones... I LOVE IT!!!
Just curious, Does anyone know anything about a Yamaha right hand drive tiller handle? I can't find anything about them. I have one
@Turbo Last Name I found out what I needed. Thanks
Crazy!Then add Crocs to the mix and that's INSANE!
This Should be an Aussie nation sport!
You guys are so crazy lol but mad props to y'all gotta be adrenaline filled to the max!!!
What a cool sport!
Awesome seeing a video from somewhere that is driving distance from where I live.
Nice! But so dangerous! Respect!
This was awesome!
R.I.P ALIGATORS😢😥
Crocs..
Damo Mehlich
There never been crocs or alligators in South Australia.
Nice Holden Torana at the beginning.
When the hot spot is going off and you need to be the first one to get there 👏🏻
A very well done video. The producers could make someone painting a wall look like they were changing the world.
Taking nothing and making into a awsome sport,how cool is that.Two thumbs up!
What are the type of boats they use (Specifically the type of boats?)? Also what are the engines they use too?
+jon cabral we use a 319 stacer proline, with a 30 Yamaha engine
❤❤❤❤❤I’m 60yrs old and would love to do that at least once
Please! what is that second song!? so good. Also this sport looks like the best thing ever.
We all have a mate who is like this when you go fishing with them
These folks are awesome!
Looks like so much fun!

This is Great.
So close to taking off!

55-56mph on that little boat!! Fawk
This sport looks actually really cool...
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.
Absolutely awesome.
What top speeds do these boats run on average?
Thanks
90 klm/hr
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.
Had me smiling the whole time
Australia is so gnarly🤙🏽
Looks like a ton of 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.
What is the Soudtrack

Amazing skills
Thats awesomely insane
The first song is Fall Into The Party by Twin Atlantic
"I am an Animal" by Twin Atlantic. "Fall into the Party" is from the other vid
