Drive your jet ski around the lake instead.
From Create Your Own Story
Races are boring anyway. You decide to test your jet-ski. You turn on your jet-ski and blast-off. You do all sorts of tricks and me all sorts of people with the raddiness of your new jet-ski. Greatest purchase you have ever made. You have a lot of fun. In fact, because you were having so much fun you accidentally crash into a giant rock that was in the middle of the lake. But you don't die. Not from the rock anyway. The crash flings you into the air and you land head-first on a flag pole. There, that's what kills ya.
