River Rats Water Ski Team

Some of us made it down to the mighty Mississippi to watch and photograph the River Rats as they prepared for their Aquatennial shows this July. The shows include trick skiing, pyramids, line skiing and ski jumping. Below are some of the images we took.

You can view a lot more images of the River Rats on their Facebook page. Also, you can view the images that are shot every year by our good friend and professional photographer Larry Grace at: River Rats, or Larry's website on PBASE.

The River Rats perform on the Mississippi just North of the Plymouth bridge, and South of the Broadway bridge. You can view all of the action for free from the West side of the river. They will continue to perform through August. To see their upcoming schedule go to: River Rats.
