Bushell To Compete In US IJSBA National Tour

World champion to race on Sea-Doo RXP-X

Multiple watercraft racing world champion James Bushell will be racing in the United States this year in the 2013 US IJSBA National Tour on his 158-Performance/Sea-Doo RXP-X.

Bushell, who is from the United Kingdom, has won back-to-back IJSBA PRO Open and PRO GP World Championships in 2011 and 2012 since teaming with legendary Sea-Doo tuner Les Cooke of Australia’s Sea-Doo Centre. Bushell will compete in the PRO Open class aboard a modified Sea-Doo RXP-X in all seven 2013 tour rounds. Bushell has competed around the world including Europe, Dubai and Thailand and has dedicated his 2013 season to challenging the best of the United States.

“I want to come to the United States to win the PRO Open Championship,” says Bushell. “I want to race in the US against other former National Champions, help promote the sport, and bring another Championship to BRP on my Sea-Doo RXP-X from Sea-Doo Centre.”

According to BRP, Bushell was an integral part in the launch of the new Sea-Doo RXP-X platform in 2012 as he was the featured talent for print and video promotional materials. Bushell also teamed with Les Cooke early in 2011 to develop the racing elements of the Sea-Doo T3 hull.

“I am coming to the US to show that Sea-Doo watercraft are the best PWC on the market and to shake things up as some other racers have won the tour for too many years, ” says Bushell. “I want to win!”

James Bushell will be working out of Greensboro, NC and travelling with the Optima Racing team. His 2013 efforts will be supported by: 158 Performance, Sea-Doo Centre, Jet Tribe, and SB Components.
