Wyland Reden became the 2020 Vintage World Champion at just 16 years old.

Join us on the journey of how it all unfolded, starting from his early days on Lake Elsinore, to the feeling of crossing the line for the Championship.

He is articulate, humble and very funny and has some great tips on getting the best out of your Kawasaki 550.

Hailing from Northern California, a young Larry ‘the Ripper’ Rippenkroeger, was on the path to achieving his dream of being a pro-motocross rider. However, after purchasing his first ski in ‘76, a Kawasaki JS400, there was no turning back.

With Larry’s self-proclaimed ‘go for broke’ style, he won his first world title in ’82. He then joined Ed Miller's Performance JetSki and went undefeated in '84, adding a second world title to his long list of accomplishments.

Since then he has worked as a sports commentator for ESPN, including alongside Bruce Jenner, and was involved in the development of the SuperJet at Yamaha's headquarters in Japan.

Larry then used his jetski skills as a launch pad into the film industry. He worked on Water World with Kevin Costner and was even a stunt double for Bruce Willis in Die Hard.

Larry has recently finished creating his exciting new film production: Hot Water, which was shot in Lake Havasu, the heart of jetski racing.

We are back with the highly anticipated part two of our interview with Haulin Harry Goatcher.

In this episode, we begin with Harry’s race in Australia that left him with a pretty serious injury. His reaction to the nurses cutting off his favorite JetPilot wetsuit will have you in stitches.

Harry moved from R&R JetTech to WestCoast in 1991, but only spent a year there before moving back and you’ll never guess the reason why.

You’ll also hear more about what he considers his biggest achievement, which might not be what you’d expect, as well as the season where nothing went right.

As always, Harry tells it as it is. So, get ready to have a good laugh and we hope you enjoy the rest of our trip down memory lane.

If you’re looking to hear what it was like to be back in the glory days of jetski racing then we have the perfect guest to kick it all off and bring a smile to your face.

'Haulin' Harry Goatcher began his career at the ripe age of just 17 years olds. He made his professional debut for L&S Engineering in '89, and went on to carve out a career of more than 100 races in the pro mod class, also riding for the likes of R&R JetTech and Westcoast Performance, for whom he claimed a podium at the 1990 World Finals in Havasu
