- Jolly Roger’s is back in New Zealand for our second round of racing there. The Meremere speed bowl is the site and the last race they will hold. As I get more & more comfortable in the JRE Sprintec Boat I’ll push it harder & harder!

Love seeing JR in NZ....hope my fellow Kiwi's are treating you well.
Everyone has been amazing!!!
Eric I taught my daughter to drive one of my jetboats at the age of seven when she floored it she let back off and yelled out Holly f#ck... I burst out laughing... Know what you mean about adrenaline rush after a run... It was addictive in my old sprint boat...😉
Love this! 🤙
Love the view while you are running it's crazy watching you flick it back and forth killer video
I’ve tried a bunch of different camera angles and the centered GoPro between driver & navi where you can see the wheel input is the best in my opinion. I now have 2 cameras there just in case one dies, and then I’ll randomly put another camera other places on the boat too.
@@JollyRoger907 Yes see how you flick it back and forth like that gave me a new appreciation for driving a boat at those speeds and I think if you could bring the camera down 4 or 5 inches or above at your eye level sitting in the boat would probably make it feel like i was your navigator LOL
Man this new package is absolutely ripping!!
It is! You gotta see tomorrows video 😉
Bloody awesome racing, good to see the NZ videos, almost makes me want to go home
We’re all loving it down there. Could see spending much more time in that beautiful country.
Eric and Jen, y'all rock! That boat is fast as hell. Respect what you said at the front of this video. The way you explained what happened when you put water into that boat, but that wasn't your fault. They got to close, I believe. Peace
Thank you. I don’t think it was anybody’s fault really, just an accident. I just try to learn from those types of situations so they don’t happen again.
Do not edit out your character. Awesome driving, great video. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that and felt the same. Trying to be PC for YT, growth, sponsors and everything else but it’s just not worth it. Raw it is!!!!
@@JollyRoger907You might wanna reread this Eric. So your "character" is profane? Come on Dude. I have way to much respect for you for that to be true. It ain't about YT or sponsors or anything else except integrity. Integrity is what you do when nobody else is watching. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
I really don't know how you can remember the course I'd be lost after the 3rd turn 😂😂 great videos
Lots of mental visualization
Awesome work Eric!
One thing I like about you-is your very humble!
You shouldda ir couldda been born a Kiwi! ( most Americans I've met are quite up themselves).
Another top guy you need ti watch us Phonzey Mullan-hes very quick,ask Peter 😊 (he also backs a 1400+hp motor...hp is'nt everything,but can help when needed).
Big ups to you and your team-all good,genuine people!!
Thank you for that! Yes, Phonsey is definitely fast!!!
As a sledder and winter steelhead nut I'm not ready for summer yet but this gets me pumped for the sprint boat races!
I kinda re-caught the sledding bug last weekend! Had a blast.
lol, we call it "adrenalin rush" Eric, you won't say anything the kids don't hear at home,,lol
lol love it! Just thought a warning was appropriate
just wow Awesome driving
Thank you! It was challenging!
Great to see you rippin it up.
Thank you 🤙
Hey there Eric another fanfarkingtastic video well done for your Q1 times. Good idea for the profanity warning and being a responsible adult. Shame Tina couldn't make it over and shame Jen didn't get recognition from the announcer. Ye old humble pie is hard to swallow for some people, well done on showing us the incident and taking ownership, it wasn't malicious and I'm sure both teams learned a lesson. Looking forward to your next upload, thanks for sharing your journey. Jetsprint boats, Sprintcars and Trophy trucks f@#k yeah.
Thank you so much! Bean will be back in the boat next week
Nice how you were able to express emotion without profanity! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
That boat is dialed in great results for such a short amount of seat time ,loving the nz series
You gotta watch tomorrow’s video! 😉
**PARENTAL WARNING**
That fucking boat is on rails!!! I'm thinking that boat and motor combo is going to smash some egos here in the states this season. 😉
I can’t wait brother! And no, it’s not staying down in NZ. It’s getting shipped up, and back down for the 2025 NZ schedule.
Man Eric my brother, that damn Sprint Tech Boat hauls some serious ass, brother. Can not wait to see you in Port Angeles, WA this year with this awesome boat. That is a sub 39 second pass in Port Angeles. Wicked Racing and Dan Morrison are gonna have their hands full when you bring this rocket ship to the course.
Peter has it dialed in for sure. I can’t wait to unleash it on the U.S. circuit
I came here for Eric Lerner, head of the LPP Fusion energy project.
But I was not disappointed.
🤙
Those shirts are very nice too Eric 😉
That was a tribute to Ron’s team Bootlegger!
Love watching the videos I’m so glad Cleetus borough me and others to your channel. I have an engine question. Is a high rpm 5500-8500 rpm small block what seems to work good or more of a 3500-6000 rpm engine. Just wondering.
6500 is a rough target. 6800 is too high
That thing gits it!
Hell yeah brother! Thing rips!
Just let it all out. Kids have to learn its ok to express emotion. Plus ive hit my thimb with a hammer before so they already know. Great to see more of you racing down here. Its odd im supporting a USA boat in NZ. But give it hell.
lol we really appreciate the support Shane! Thank you
Eric, most hammers do not float- your hammer, it flies! Awesome boat, great day. I'm trying to get Woody of Skid Factory to take a hop- if it has a loud, obnoxious motor in it, he's up for it, and he's just become his own solo host, looking for something to see. Know anything interesting? On the language thing, I'm gonna go with Cleetus Mac; "Hell yeah, brother!"
Love it 🤙
What happened at the launch ramp is common on dirt tracks in a way. Under caution before the turn us loose we(mod(especially) and late model guys) like to blip the throttle to pitch the "car up on the bars" to get ourselves used to that jump. It can be quite violent. Some guys will do it under a caution in the middle of the race. On a hot day when a caution comes you flip that helmet shield up for cooler air! Find yourself with shield up behind one of those guys and you end up with dirt chunks in your face and eyes! I never did do it much myself. But after my friend did it to me a couple years ago i learned from his mistake to NOT do that. Lol. And yea me and him are still friends after me cussing him for that. Literally gave him an air compressor this week to keep him going with his new small business.
I appreciate you sharing that experience. Discussing these things is how we fix them!
Looks like you put on a schooling. Congratz.
Ehhh nah, but making solid progress on learning the boat
They're fast as f boiiii!
lol yep
This is the only thing I ever really watch at normal speed....
lol love it! Yeah it goes pretty quick!
Just wondering do u have use all quality passes or do u have to take them all.
Your fastest qualifying run is what’s used to determine the order of the top-9. After that it’s each run.
@@JollyRoger907 ok thinks.
The Bro came to NZ, saw how rough with our language we are, and decided to stop editing it out of his video's. In Awe of Kiwi's?
🤣🤙
Lets Goooooooooooooo !!
Yessss 🤙. Tune in tomorrow for eliminations
Eric, you know that I have supported you from the getgo. Not that hard to edit out the profanity and emotions are still easily discernible. A gentleman doesn't need profanity to express himself adequately. My two cents worth, for what it's worth. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
I appreciate your input and haven’t taken it lightly. Editing these clips isn’t easy and I’ve left out entire sections before because of all the F-bombs. One thing I love about my BFF Ron at Bootlegger is how he is 100% himself, 100% of the time, around 100% of people. It’s very respectable to have that strength and I envy him for his ability to do that. I still have to muzzle myself at work and around certain people but TH-cam is an outlet for me to show who I am, what I’m into, show the friends I hangout with and the things I do. Pretending to be somebody I’m not cheapens the whole channel. I’m not after $, I’m not after sponsors…it’s just me being me. If that’s not gentlemanly enough, I understand how you’d chose to not watch, I really do. But I owe it to myself to just be me. I hope that makes sense? ✌️
@@JollyRoger907 I grew up with a 28 year Army First Sargent Father who couldn't string a sentence together without profanity. I was a three year Navy Vet stationed with the Marine Corps as a Hospital Corpsman. I certianly know how to cuss. I simply choose not to do so. Watch Steve Morris of Steve Morris Engines. He is highly emotional and never uses profanity in his videos and knowing his character, most likely not I real life. It is a choice Eric. I understand that you don't care about sponsors or YT, but you should care about your integrity. An Officer and A Gentleman. Remember? As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
I want you to know that I appreciate your reply and I enjoy watching what you do. I'm 63 years old and can easily overlook the profanity. It's not all about me though and there are kids that would be interested to watch, but their parents may not be as tolorant as I am and stop them from watching your channel for something that can rather easily be bleeped out. No need to toss it. Just bleeping bleep it. Lol! Love you Brother. I'm not the man I used to be and I like myself a lot better as I now am. Something to think about, If it was someone that you 100% respected i
or cared about and it offended them, you could control what you say. 🤔 As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
Hitting your own wake looks like it hurts!
It kinda does lol
Don't worry about swearing as we teach our children to swear from 5 years old in NZ
🤣. Good to know
Letssss goooo
Great AAR. Always learning
Hell yeah brother 🤙
@@JollyRoger907 when's the season start over here... I gotta coordinate work with halibut/shrimp already lol
@@ericjohnson5617 We only have 4 races on the calendar unfortunately.
Webbs Slough 6/15 & 8/24 one day events
Port Angeles 7/27,28 & 9/7,8 two day events
@@JollyRoger907 nice Thanks! I'll try n show up!
Fuck yeah I'm a potty mouth myself.
A rear facing camera view would be awsome.
I think I put a couple clips of rear facing in the video coming out tomorrow. Can’t really do an entire run with those off camera angles but they do give a different and cool perspective
Wow! And proud of it to. Just what America needs, more "Potty" mouths!
Too many mind, just relax. KiSS😅
🤙
Nobody cares if you don't swear. Lots of people dislike when you do..
🤙
Don't apologise for swearing we all do it.
Kids hear worse things in songs. 👍🇦🇺
Good point 🤙
