Hundreds of Jet Ski riders join in annual event<\/p>\n

Jet Ski riders were seen zipping through the East River in New York for annual Jet Ski Invasion.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of jet ski riders took over the East River in New York City last week, providing New Yorkers with a stunning visual.<\/p>\n

The jet skis were part of the annual NYC Jetski Invasion that has been running since 2017. According to the event\u2019s website<\/a>, the invasion brings in about 600 to 800 riders per year.<\/p>\n

The video, taken by Jessica Smith in Brooklyn, shows hundreds of jet ski riders parading down the East River and under one of New York\u2019s many bridges.<\/p>\n

“New York City has many historic Landmarks, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center, and The Intrepid Museum, just to name a few. So, what better way to enjoy the best city in the world than from your own personal watercraft!” the site said.<\/p>\n
