How does he concentrate on racing with the bow rider's butt staring you in the face the whole time.... Bugger the race,, go find somewhere to moor up for "a bit". lol
I don't know anything about this kind of racing, but as the one who can see the furthest ahead, I wonder if it's her job to navigate and the helmsman's job to follow her lead?
@@hinnmanfamily ...... its a course guys.. this is low lying swamp land and they just have a course setup. ether they get to circle it once before or there's a lead boat with a camera or something. they usualy know well in advance what course their supposed to take. Similar to rally racing or those skimmer jet boats got in places like Louisiana
@@hinnmanfamily Yes! Look closely and you will see that there are several times when she gives the driver a definite signal about making a sudden correction - and that she does so a moment before the driver is able to see what she sees (perhaps this is sometimes because his view is partly blocked, but still, those signals were KEY factors a few times).
Her job is to be movable "ballast". The boat goes fastest with the bow up out of the water, but it won't turn well like that. For the turns, the bow needs to be down into the water to keep the boat from spining out. Her job is to shift her weight around as needed for the best overall speed. You see this in motorcycle side car racing as well.
This is the definition of steering by the seat of your pants. Looks like a brilliant rush, reminds me of the sidecars at the TT. Thanks for sharing, loved the vid.
This is a very skilled pilot... And Spidergirl balancing the boat at the front is... Amazing! The way she holds the boat, places her feet, her motion and position have such a level of precision that the execution simply is crisp. She even warns or reminds the pilot of places to pay extra attention on the track. These two make a FANTASTIC TEAM.
You Aussies are bad ass!!! That looks like some fun racing. Wonder if we have anything like that here in the states. Awesome teamwork and skill. Every time you'd fly by a log or stick pointing right at ya my stomach would tighten up. Nerves of steal!! Stay safe.
This stuff is completely awesome that young woman is fearless and that man is very skilled at driving his boat I've never seen such gnarly down under debauchery I love it
ну насчет молодости сомнительно судя по жопе и целлюлиту там 45-50 лет . а На счет доверия ...... мужик просто использует ее как авто трим ..при чем при первом же столкновении ему прийдеться искать новый авто трим
Watching these boats go around corners and leaning into them with the bow ridder. Fast and precise piloting. Great racing and the courage of the bow ridders trust is amazing. Thanks for the videos.
I am seriously impressed by the teamwork! Adding to the old trope “*everything* in Australia is trying to kill you,” we can now add “and you’re trying to do yourselves in too!”
Wow!! brings me back to my childhood in the early 90's I greatly miss Renmark and that muddy Murray River! Epic racing mad respect! Thank you! Keep it fair dinkum!😊
Those ladies are bad asses! And the girl that was the star of the event really had quick reflexes and she's also very brave! Good job guys! Looks wicked fun! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Amazing racing, I just hope for the young ladies sake you never have an accident. I guess I am getting old for this stuff. When I was young in late 70's I used to race bikes, hanglide, and white water canoeing. Now I am just glad I have a beer beside me when chilling in the lazyboy. Cheers from Canada, drive safe.
I was stationed in Woomera SA from 1992-94 and will attest…the Aussies know how to have fun!!! Loved the Aussies and Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still can’t believe they only finished 2nd. Holy crap! Who was first? Flash Gordon and Aqua Man?
I absolutely love races like this where its a genuine team effort between two people who need to be able to synchronize there minds together and communicate without talking, its amazing to see how well teams like this work together under stress
What a team, the connection was there with each other all the way. I've never watched this sport before but I'm going to watch that again.What a thrill to watch. Great win.
Unbloody believable.😯 WOW.😲 Incredible.😳 Insane Race.😱 Insane boat speed and driving skill.🧐 I had to watch it 3 times because It was so intense. 😬Scary? Yes. 😱frightening ? Yes .😱 Your teamwork from you both was just so incredible.👌 Hat off to the co driver👏 with her spotting and balance application.👍 Unbelievable.👌
I thought you guys killed it for 1st place until I read the intro below the video, but kudos all around for your perfect run and I am glad you made it back alive. One beautiful team! Man, you guys are crazy!!! Really nice video piece!
First time I’ve seen this heart in my mouth all the way serious skills both ,But the lady on the front OMG so close to some of those low branches much respect 👍
Didn’t even know this sport existed, frig’n amazing! Back in the day was the monkey a few times in a racing sidecar. Very impressed by Tahlia’s skill & courage along with Andrew’s piloting. I would have been one of the back marker boats cheering you on 👍😀😎
Anyone else unable to sit still watching this. I found myself leaning from left to right right along with her. Outstanding video!
i ducked for some branches as well yes..
I'd love to see a VR version. If they could record this in 3D from her view, holy crap!
I would get distracted watching her marvelous rear and run into something.😛
I'm all over my chair. Wow the copilot really had to be in shape. This was cool!
Hahahahahahahahaha YEA same here
To have a partner who shares the same outdoors fun and is committed to it. That's a keeper 👏
esp. when u have such a great view!!
@@hellraiser666666 how does he focus on driving?!
Bunz of steel.
No way! The whole point of having outdoors fun is to get away from your Mrs!
And the shorts.
That woman is absolutely fearless. What a team, great camera work too.
What about the driver?
Easy to be fearless when your IQ is 10
@@LocalMiataLoverhe said team …
The camera focuses a lot of the same passenger, so its normal to have comments like this one. Nothing wrong here.
The adrenaline rush of hanging off the front of one of those boats in a high speed turn must be insane.
The view is pleasent enough.
Yeah, I'd make a shit driver too😂
Agreed.
I definitely would of snagged a tree
How does he concentrate on racing with the bow rider's butt staring you in the face the whole time.... Bugger the race,, go find somewhere to moor up for "a bit". lol
So that's a butt clenching ride..
This is an impressive level of trust between driver and navigator!
Teamwork at its finest. That is one gutsy lady.
A great mix of skill, courage and insanity.
lol yep big on insanity i think, unreal and i would hate to see what a slip up would do,
Agreed one mistake and you take a branch right in the face... Scary stuff.
@@GoofBallGuru Well put
where is the line between insanity and crazy ?! :)
Top tier mullet, fit missus and a tinny that goes hard. Living the dream.
Yeah x3 on the sick mullet
Bro….mad respect for you and your swinger she was reading your mind that was some epic racing 🤙🍻🇦🇺

The only thing that should be changed is no bottom still A 10+

Awesome my hats off to you guys specially the navigator that sheela knows what she's doing
I do this by myself on the Waccamaw river for my own amusement. Most impressed by the copilot's feel for the boat. She is the boat.
This is the definition of steering by the seat of your pants. Looks like a brilliant rush, reminds me of the sidecars at the TT.
Thanks for sharing, loved the vid.
That chick is absolutely mental, dude can steer too🤙👍
Fun is what I would call it lol
rear end looks tight enough for me ,to head up the dirt track
Fuckin jammer bro. Jammers hard.
@@larrydowlingno...ya...no
How many fatalities in this race?
That has GOT to be the most dangerous wild badass form of racing there is! Huge respect and totally awesome!!! BTW, nice view!!

No man should risk the life of his wife for his little sport events like that.
@@sungazer454 I'm in agreement, considering the VERY high likelihood of head, neck and spinal injuries for the counterweight or "auto trim."
Yall have any stats on injuries to support your concerns? Or just any risk is too great?

There were boats in the video? I was kinda fixated.
Incredible team work! Smoking all the competition!
This needs to be a VR video game!!
I am seriously impressed by the teamwork!
Adding to the old trope “*everything* in Australia is trying to kill you,” we can now add “and you’re trying to do yourselves in too!”
Wait until you look up Aussie motorbike chariot racing
Tahlia is badass, respect.
That was sensational . That was the most exciting race I have ever watched . 👌
Reminds me of motorbike sidecar racing, except much more pleasant view, excellent skills to race at this level, congrats.
Wow!! brings me back to my childhood in the early 90's I greatly miss Renmark and that muddy Murray River! Epic racing mad respect! Thank you! Keep it fair dinkum!😊
That was so cool, I have never heard of anything like this. Thank you for sharing.
Search for Australian river ski towing racing, very similar
Those ladies are bad asses! And the girl that was the star of the event really had quick reflexes and she's also very brave! Good job guys! Looks wicked fun! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Have never watched this racing before. Wild stuff, kudos to the crew.
That was great ! I was swaying back and forth in my own chair. I felt like I was there. Thanks for the fun.

Confucius Say: As we age (me too) we transition from "participants" to "spectators". Its a FACT !!!!!!!!!!
Mad respect to keep the hammer down through those mazes ! The bowperson must have some hella nerve too. 👍👍
Couldn't hardly stay in my chair. Amazing video, you two are certifiable.
awesome! i could watch this all day!
A lot of trust between that couple - And incredible skills! Much respect. Great video.
That is a race which requires unshakeable trust from both involved.

THAT IS BAD ASS....
Wow never seen this before and that's some crazy racing for sure and a buttload of crazy respect for you and yours! Awesome stuff
A butt load. Lol

any racing you can do in shorts and a tee shirt is awesome in my books
i love everything about this, outboards, helmets ,speed, spandex, nearly dying, knee pads. how did you know . well done
I’ve never seen anything like this before. Absolutely amazing!
That is awesome badassery! Cool stuff...your bow crew is doing all the work and having most of the fun! Ya'll take care and be careful too!
You guys down there are crazy. Looks like fun.
I love the fact that ole buddy is Rocking the Mullet!!
Wow! Just found my new favorite sport. That is hardcore! big props to both driver and bow rider!
They don’t all look like that mate 😎
Big props for the boat
I was stationed in Woomera SA from 1992-94 and will attest…the Aussies know how to have fun!!! Loved the Aussies and Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still can’t believe they only finished 2nd. Holy crap! Who was first? Flash Gordon and Aqua Man?

You all are insane! But Mad props to you both! Fantastic video, and victory! Congrats, and thanks for sharing this epic race!
That looks fun as anything, new thing on my bucket list. Build a race tinny!
Great pilot flat out! And Tahlia did one hell of a job on all the corners. Awesome job to you both!
Australia Kicks ASS 💪🏻💃
Yall are an awesome team, great racing action, looks like a blast to do. Thanks for the video, from Texas
Didn’t know about dinghy derby until this video. Good stuff!
You two are awesome. This is sidecars mixed with sprint boats an can tell people do try to respect each other when racing which is how it should be :)
Great Adventure, Six Flags, you only think you have the ultimate thrill ride! Man, that girls tough, brave....and trusting.
Fantastic - stayed to the tail end. Great skill and what a blast!
Insane video. My heart was in my throat on every turn.
Respect from the Northeast of USA. Amazing 🔥 work. Wow 🎉.
You guys are absolutely crazy. Great vid!
The ballast is AMAZING AND FEARLESS !! While both of them have an incredible view!
Wow my hats off to that young lady . Great footage 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
all because you got to see flappy butt?
This is absolutely grazy!!!
woe ! had me ducking is several spots, wow this is awesome.
Outstanding teamwork, folks!
I never knew this existed, it looks a right blast and great fun! 👍
Ok, this is my new favorite. This is crazier than anything, wing boarding, ski diving, thisnis awsome!
The best view I’ve ever had of Australia!
lol I laughed so much. Good one!

Crazy and dangerous .. but soooo cool! Those Aussies know to have a good time!
loved it! that is impressive to watch
Glad you enjoyed it!
The raw courage of this young woman is remarkable. She has a LOT of confidence in the pilot!
What a fantastic fun/cost ratio! I thought dirt bikes offered the most adrenaline for your buck till I saw this video.
This was pretty cool to watch. These guys def know to fly thru the tight turns in the water. Kudos to the racers.
If I had the high potential of being yeeted into a tree like that I’d be wearing moto X body armour. Nice work.
Yeah think I'd add some body armour, a neck brace at the least.
Good job guys Was great to watch Thanks for uploading 🤟
That's badass right there. 🤤✌
I thought you guys killed it for 1st place until I read the intro below the video, but kudos all around for your perfect run and I am glad you made it back alive. One beautiful team! Man, you guys are crazy!!! Really nice video piece!

Helmet check. Kneepads check. Hotpants check.
I'm wondering is the helmet an OH&S thing, and lucky we don't have those jumping carp over here.
You forgot the champagne cork for the butt, to have something to clench.
That looks really exhilarating…and totally crazy cheers!
Beautiful that you have a race that the rich haven't started buy wins.
The presentation is spectacular.... Every single one of you know it!
That is my kind of race in in Florida I used to do similar race in different type of boat but I NEVER HAD A COPILOT THAT LOOKED SO FINE WHAT A VIEW ❤😊
Absolutely FANTASTIC
Aussy women are just built different.
outstanding coordination, complete trust between the crew is the key to victory
