Right on.:biggthumpup:

That's the first time I've seen an FX-1 where the ski actually looked too big for the rider. :biggrin: That's awesome. How old is he?

[felix5oh]

Very cool.

[Mouthfulloflake]

10 years old, 4rth grade.

he told me after that day of riding
" Dad, I dont like the rev limiter on mom's boat"

:biggthumpup:

Cool video! My little 4yr old guy rides ...but not alone yet! That's him in the avatar with me. Probably a ticket waiting to happen but at least he can swim and wears a secure life vest..

I've always wondered if there was anything wrong with riding like that also? Every now and then I will take one of my fiance's friends for a ride like that if they don't feel comfortable riding alone.

[aqua]

very cool man....very cool. looks like he is a pretty good rider too and he knows how to look before turning. :biggthumpup:

[Dirtybird]

That is sweet! Did anyone else think he was gonna try a sub there at the end :haha:

[gj_fx1]

better tell your boy to watch his back.. :woot:

[SXIPro]

Awesome!! He really does have total control and total confidence when he rides.

Lake, you are a cool Dad. The only thing my father let me ride when I was your son's age was a Craftsman riding lawnmower...they didn't even make B-pipes for them back then :banghead:

[Mouthfulloflake]

thats how I started him and his sister out Motobando.

first riding a couch with me, then once they were comfortable with that, riding in the tray with me on a standup.

[Mouthfulloflake]

there was a boat coming thru from behind him, and exactly as I instructed him, he went way to the side, and got on his knees until it passed.

This is an awesome maintinence free freeride boat IMO, I love it as does he.
So get ready to step up X two Mouth, it aint cheap but its kinda fun.

[sjetrider]

Its funny how when they are light like that they porpus no matter how far forward they get in the tray. My boy struggled w/ that and kept saying I need to gain wieght LOL, I told him no worry it will come, he prob. doubled in weight in the last 4 yrs. LOL, He rides really good and I am waiting for the day he passes me on up on skill level LOL. His 1st time actually riding by himself was at a Lanear ride over 4 yrs. ago, then he was hooked.

Is your sons also a Protec ported cylender?(crazy looking port job) but very very effectiv. That 650 Protec set up is the friggin shiot, Travis (beochsadie) has this and it rocks. The boat was built by a local guy & Protec in early 90's and is still hitting awesome, it has been owned buy like 4 local guys here since it was new. We decked it out w/ a roundy pole and footholds and internal filler w/ smoothy nose pc. for Travis this past winter, Nice boat, I will be sporting it this w/e as my Rev is not done yet:banghead:.

[Mouthfulloflake]

Ive never had the head off of it, I am unsure if its ported or not.

from the way it feels, I beleive it might be.

its got 185psi on one cylinder and 155 in the other.

so its time for a top end job, but its still plenty of power to play with, so im not messing with it.

[Mouthfulloflake]

starts easy, idles well, and pulls solid to 7500 rpm.

IM not worried about it.

Cool, is it a protec milled head w/ the pipe mounts and stuff milled off? I think they called it the sleeper head?

[Mouthfulloflake]

No, it is the typical black head, the pipe mounts to it. black and has a silver pro-tec logo cast into it.

That FX looks like a 3D with your son on it.
