Six days prior to the Pro Ski race one of the top European riders, Frenchman Michael Poret, rider for team JFC, rode the Rius Racing carbon hull Yamaha Super Jet. After completing a few laps on the practice circuit Poret mentioned that this particular Super Jet was the best handling Ski he had ever ridden. He was surprised by its amazing handling at corners and its sharp response in turning. Still he will race for the JFC Team at the World Finals in Pro Ski class.
