Another record for the sport of Freestyle Kayaking was set today as
Jon Best show up with his personal pit crew. The story behind it is worth
telling. Jon flew into Prague from another location but really wanted his
car here. He recruited a friend to drive it from England to Prague.
Little did he know that his friend recruited three other friends and they
turned his car into a pink polka dotted race car with Team JB all over it!
The four of them made the road trip in his car and since arriving have been
cheering him on during his good moves, booing his bad moves, and taking good
care of his needs like the best of the NASCAR crews. If his helmet needs
unstrapped, they are there. Need a lift? Don’t worry, stay in your kayak,
we’ll drive you back to the top of the course. The only thing I am not
sure of, is if they left enough room for Jon to get in the car with his
gear, since the four of them filled the car to the top. Perhaps Jon will
have to Fly to Augsburg, as his crew continue their road trip in Jon’s car!
