OT: How not to pilot a jet ski

Black Diesel Bomber
I know, it's not moto but good filler for the week. I figured if you guys haven't seen this already then you'll be amazed with this guy's pilot skills:

Travis caught this on film when we were training for the 2013 Season. Pretty gnarly stuff. This went down at 3 Palms before they put in the cable park.

Which guy would you rather be? Your buddy or this guy with his chic on the back...took her straight into the rock jetty and they are both lucky they had life vests on....amazing all he had to do was turn left and gas it to the beach.

Most likely a newb on a ski, and in the ocean. From his angle that wave looks like a mountain chasing him. It's simple. He panicked. And probably didn't realise that in this spot the waves beak right on the beach.

Reminds me of that video of Herlings trying to ride a supercross track - painful to watch...

I kept thinking they would turn left and whack some huge spray off the lip, and then to my surprise the idiot goes straight to the rocks. What the heck? They are both lucky to be alive. I feel sorry for the lifeguards!

I'd rather be the dude with the camera. Always the dude with the camera.

I don't know what they pay those lifeguards but, it's not enough.
