Jeff Kamikaze Kantz 2007 Video Riding X2 backwards

Let me say I was fairly new to personal watercraft freestyle and racing when I found myself at a racers practicing beach waiting for someone. It was funny how I met these two world champions. I was waiting on a friend that went to get some X2 experts for opinions on modification done to my PJS X2 when Kantz and Prieur approached me on a big ATV. It became an embarrassing situation because I didn't recognized them, I though they were PWC racing fans looking at the racers practicing at Crazy beach that had gotten attracted to my vintage PJS racing X2 jet ski. To my surprise, my friend had accomplished to find two X2 world champions, an old school freestyler and a racing one. I had hope on getting info on my ski, but instead, I got a video clip with "Kamikaze" Kantz doing 180s at full speed and seating backwards.

They hadn't come prepared to ride and Kamikaze, being a freestyler, was having trouble doing tricks without water shoes. Well, I'm glad to said for my ego trip, that a famous freestyle world champion did wear my water shoes during this riding test. Actually, I didn't fully learned who they were, and their status in the personal watercraft scene, until after I returned from that trip. Cool people... Jeff "Kamikaze", thanks a lot for allowing the recording, Lucky!
