The second annual Jettribe Mid-American WaterX Championship is coming back to Lake Coleman soon, looking to put on yet another spectacular event. The championship will take place from Thursday, Aug. 4 to Sunday, Aug. 7.

Jettribe is also welcoming Bailey Cunningham from Australia and Casey Leech from the United Kingdom, after welcoming them to their travel team. “This will be my second time flying over to race for Jettribe!” Leech said. “I can’t wait for the Texas weather, to meet all the riders, and of course the iconic Texas barbecue!”

“I will be flying out on my birthday, so get your party hats and cowboy hats ready! I will be competing in the two-stroke class after a good two years of racing four-strokes. I can’t wait to be back on two-strokes, it’s going to be interesting alongside all the other talented racers. I would like to say a massive thank you to Jettribe as they have been such a big part of my racing career ever since I started in 2015 which I am ever so grateful. I have made so many memories and can’t wait to continue making many more!”

Cunningham, who will also be making the trip to Sulphur Springs will be racing in a few events in the Mid-America Series, before coming to Sulphur Springs. “I am so excited about getting to Texas and spending time with the Jettribe team,” Cunningham said.

“I can’t wait to try some real Texas ribs, see the Jettribe factory, and go riding with new people. While in Texas would be great to see a sporting game, or just see all the different things Texas has to offer. Recently I competed in Ocean racing in Florida, which was a first for me and not like nay of our enduro racing at home, but I am enjoying it because it’s tough and is helping me get ready for the World Cup in Thailand this December.”

The event is free for spectators and will feature four days of jet ski racing. Food and merchant vendors will be on-site, so bring your chairs and heck out the action on the water.
