Did you see the guys on top of the billboard checking their undies?

YUP!!!!!!

My buffering was up to 35 % but I did manage to freeze it when the entire hull lifted and lost directional control, What did he hit first that flipped him backwards onto the billboard?

Heading straight for the filled grandstands Rinker cranked the steering wheel hard left. It was too late. The 1150 pound boat never settled on the water long enough to execute a clean turn. A ramp used by skiers launched man and boat into the air. The lower unit ripped through the plywood. Photographers ducked, skiers dove for cover and spectators froze as the boat barrel-rolled and landed upside down pinned against a ski show backdrop.

Found that in the storyline for the race day.

That was pretty scary, to put it mildly....
