Britain's new jet-ski champion

The 14-year-old clinched victory in the final stage of the Jet-Ski Freestyle National Tour last weekend.

He won the amateur competition by a staggering 41 points, and the professional class by 13. His older fellow competitors range in age from 17 to 45.

Jack, from Markyate, has only been freestyling for 18-months since he was deemed old enough to ride his own jet-ski.

He said: "I love jet-skiing - it's just an absolutely brilliant sport and even the training is good fun. What I really want to do is go all the way and become world champion.

"Sport is all about football for most of my friends at school but I wanted to try something different and more extreme."
