Air shots
Been done before - but thought I would add this one of Mel and Andy Wilby in one of our RIBs.
Great shot by Gingerpix.

Maybe it's something to do with the yellow tubes!
I took this one last Summer. Not as much air as the other pic, but he was probably only going half the speed.

that first pic was of andy wilby showing off, and he almost flipped it trying
Later that season he did a jump simlar to that one and hooked it straight infront of me and fabio Berrow
Anyway me and andy have had words about that in the pub and straightened things out,
plus he's got a bigger boat than me this year so he might run me over

If you look closely you can see that the engine hatch catches have come undone, typical Pascoe cant stand the sight of gastly duck tape.

when you do jumps in cars over bridges etc, throttle control can effect the cars landing and balance, keep it planted and it lands arse heavy, too much nothin and you land on yer nose.. so what you guys do in ur boats if the green is heading towards the windscreen

Works on the Bike for jumps, Open the throttle in the air if nose heavy, front will rise. Nose high dab the rear brake. Pull on the bars helps. Gyroscopic twaddle waffle whatever, It works, Dont Fink I't will work on a boat though. All landings hurt it's just how much !!!!!!

Agreed, all the work has to be done before/as you lose contact with the water....after that, you're just a passenger!
