IT'S a safe jet that Kirkmuirhill lad Jason Young will speed through the water!

Kawasaki rider Jason finished joint first overall in the recent British Jetski Championships third round at Tattershall, Lincolnshire.

That result put Jason just 15 points behind leader and defending champ Simon Gill in the overall standings. With only three rounds remaining, it looks like it will go to the wire to see who is the fastest racer in the UK.

After leaving Tattershall, Jason then went north of the border to the River Clyde for his first experience of racing in his homeland. He thrilled the home crowds by finishing second at an invitation event held in conjunction with Seeglasgow.com

After back to back victories on the Saturday, Jason endured extremely choppy conditions on the Sunday. After a massive tumble in race one, he eventually finished in a disappointing fifth.

Despite this setback, Jason, who is sponsored by Champney Springs, still sat joint first with former Junior World Champion Lewis Goodchild. But the fairytale return to Scotland was not to be for Jason.

Although he led the race for the majority of laps, Goodchild eventually passed the youngster in the penultimate lap to win on the day and take overall victory.

Jason said he was upset for the loyal supporters he could hear cheering him on from the banks of the Clyde every time he crossed the finish line. Maybe he'll go one better next year!
