Brock flips out at Chicago Air and Water Show

Greg Brock completed his first back flip in front of millions of fans at the Chicago Air and Water Show. What a ride. My XFT modified Yamaha Super jet came through. This wiped out all the engine problems that I had at the 2007 World Finals last year. Thank you to Sergio at XFT and my team mate Gary Burtka for all the support and encouragement. Jet skiing is my passion and at age 50 I never thought that I would reach this level in extreme sports.


I can’t wait to go again. It was a riot. As the two boats that were creating the double up wave approached I saw Gary go in and then up and around (Burtka had been hitting back flips all day). I new this was it. I was sure this was going to be the one. My two previous attempts had landed me on my head (like in practice) but for some reason this time I felt different. Up and around I remember seeing ski ski ski then water. OH yea! Lets do it again!
