Ratti Joins Worx Racing Components Team
With every newyear comes new excitement. Worx Racing Components is excited to announce a new addition to the Worx Racing Components Pro Freestyle competition team, for 2011, with Pro Freestyler rider Michael Ratti. Michael Ratti, who lives in McDonough Georgia, is the recent 2007 Amateur United States National Champion, and 2008 Pro Freestyle United States National Champion. By routine training, practice, and teaming up with the world’s top Personal Watercraft Industry companies like Worx Racing Components, Eric Malone Enterprises, X Scream Inc., and Hydroturf to name a few, Ratti is able to push his sport and abilities to the next level.
Ratti, a recent bachelor’s graduate of Clayton State University, is constantly exploring new ideas and opportunities to push his sport to the main stream level. In 2008 Ratti joined forces with BOLD Entertainment and Turner Broadcasting to explore production opportunities for a reality television program and is hopeful for production in the upcoming future. Ratti has also been featured in a variety of prominent local and national media publications such as H Magazine, The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Ride Magazine, in addition to appearances in the Action Sports films, “Stunt Scene Investigations”, and “The Addiction”.
To kick off the new season, and the end of a long awaited recovery from a severe foot injury in late 2009, Ratti plans to attend The X-Scream Daytona Freeride, held in Daytona Beach Florida, from January 15 through 16. Additionally, the Ratti team will make highlight trips to key tour stops featured in the IJSBA National Tour and Hydro-X Winter/Summer series, while hitting as many freerides, events, and filming opportunities along the way. Ratti is currently assembling his competition equipment for the upcoming season. His skis, an EME Q8 powered by an X Scream SS865cc motor, and a Q8 powered by an XS 1000cc motor, will feature the Worx Racing Components state-of-the-art Kawasaki Intake Grates to ensure maximum thrust and performance.
