These good ol' tricks are pretty self explanatory since there is a video attached that I just uploaded.

This is a old skool video I got in 98 off the Westcoast website. As many know, Westcoast was a aftermarket company for PWC. They are no longer in business. This is Bobby Biggs in 97' on his FX-1 doing some of his patented moves like the Wango Tango, The running man, and the Undertaker. Good times! Enjoy the silliness!

I have a bunch more older freestyle comp vids with Rick Roy, Lloyd Burlew, Wood, etc. that I will be uploading this week. I'll post a thread up when i do. These are not the best quality as that was pretty much the internet standard back then.

Bobby was a very impressive rider at the time. Malone, Rachichi and few others had that much balance on that skinny ski. Nice real busy routine.

I'm pretty sure my '95 Havasu amateur video has him on his 550 doing several of those tricks as well.

Thanks again Superjett-113 and everyone else! That ol' FX-1 was a lot of fun on that flat water, choppy or rough water was a different story.

I think you're right Superjett-113, $3000 for 1st place. If I remember correctly I got $500 for 5th place that day. I remember we had to do a Freestyle show on Saturday and compete on Sunday to received the payout. 5th place was the usual for me when competing on the FX-1 with some of the best in the world at that time IMO. Rick, Lloyd, The Shark, Ken Wood, and Malone.

The wango tango I love it! haha :jester:

I couldnt imagine doing an undertaker on one of the current pro class freestyle skis. I wouldnt trust myself to put my nuts anywhere near the intake grate for that trick on one of those skis. :Eyecrazy:

I love the riding style. its crazy to see the diff from say That , to modern day Malone, Rok and those guys , to Pierre in the surf. I love all the different styles.


if i wango tangoed my luck the hood would come off and it would sink

even since i read this thread i've been all about mastering balance on and off throttle at low speeds. i've since managed the wango tango

the running man however is a different story !! three good face plants and a few gallons of swallowed water later i've come to learn that the running man is just about impossible for us mere mortals (at least for now)

the running man looks awesome, i think i need some hood mods for that though
