In racing, the expression of going from "hero to zero" or "zero to hero" can many times sum up the roller coaster of emotions and results that go hand-in-hand with being a racer living on the edge.  This past weekend in round #8 of the DJSA Outlaw Jet Ski series, Muscle Milk Extreme athlete Memo Gidley experienced just that.

Dubbed the "Jet Effect North/South Shootout," this DJSA event attracts many of the best California jet ski racers to go head to head for bragging rights of which region has the best riders.  The usual three race format for the overall would run like normal - however, the top three from each region would then advance into the "North/South Shootout" at the end of the day.

"I was feeling really confident going into the weekend," said Gidley. "I have been training hard and pounding out a lot of laps on my buoy course riding better than ever before."
