Because with enough cheap domestic beer anything is possible, this is a video of McCoy Lindquist steering his mini, metal-hulled jetboat onto land, through a campsite, and right onto its boat trailer. Impressive! Even more impressive? If he’d hit a jump in the water and landed it on the trailer.
These are a couple clips from the Madison Regatta Governor’s Cup on the Ohio River starring racer Dustin Echols performing an unintentional backflip in his jet-powered hydroplane. That must have been exciting. Especially watching the second video with the POV footage — it looks like the boat was about to
This is a video from a Malaysian police maneuvers demonstration of a police boat captain exhibiting his incredible control of the ship by performing an almost drift-style dock at high speed. That was impressive. Could I have done it? I could have tried, but it would have almost certainly ended
