Hydroflight Team Challenge
Hydroflight Team Challenge – Fantasy Sports
Our experience at Hydro Fest inspired us at H2RO to look forward at 2017 and think of new ways to bring Jetboard, Jetpack and Jetbike athletes together. One competitive format we thought we would have some fantasy sports fun with is teaming up top athletes into teams and creating the Hydroflight Team Challenge. This freestyle competition would see both individual scores for athletes as well as cumulative scores for their teams.
We think it would be cool to have these freestyle runs alternate through boards, packs and bikes so the audience remains engaged and would ensure they see all the rides and appreciate the athletes diversity of skills.
Introducing the Teams
This order is random (and yes some of the names are cheesy but we’re having fun here) and we are interested to see what our readers think of these groupings and who they believe would win the Team Challenge. Ben Merrell is in the Top 10 H2RO World Rankings on both the Jetboard and Jetbike and so you will see him flying both for his team.
(Note: Jetboard Ladies, Vets and other Pros we love you but for this fantasy session we’ve begun with only our Top 10 Pro Jetboard, Jetpack and Jetbike ranked athletes.)

SO WHO WINS THIS COMPETITION?
Two runs for each competitor, they each take their highest scoring run and add them together to get their team score. We think that something like this would be exciting and fun to watch. We also like the idea of formats that can further build the comradery between athletes in each division.
