In case you missed it, a lot of good stuff happened this weekend at the first round of the Hidden Trails Pro Watercross Tour in Panama City Beach, Florida. Besides the triumphant return of 18-time IJSBA World Champion Chris MacClugage to Pro Ski Open, besting the likes of Dustin Motzouris and Rob Flores, the Pro Watercross witness history as Pro Freestyle’s Daniel Martin came roaring back from a successful bout in Hollywood to wow attendees both on the beach and beside the pool… Wait, what?
That’s right, Martin, owner and operator of 9 Mile Motorsports, took his Team XScream Open class freestyle ski to local nightspot, Club LaVela to show off his backflip prowess in the swimming pool. Reminiscent of Lake Havasu’s long-running tradition of carrying the party over to riverfront club Kokomo’s, Martin wowed the Pro Watercross party with five consecutive backflips, which might not sound like much when a standing record is set at over 30 by Lee Stone, but this was within the confines of a swimming pool!
Martin, who is also a supported athlete of Jet Renu, recently graced a newly produced advertisement for the total PWC care company and their new Jet Pak Essential Kit, including Protector, Purple and Pink wash, wax and quick shine sprays. Although we couldn’t embed the video posted to Pro Watercross’ official Facebook page here, we did manage to hyperlink it. So click the highlighted sentence to watch Martin in action.
