I'm an old style jet ski rider!!

[SXIPro]

I know we bring this up all the time, but it still amuses me to hear it. I brought my SJ's hood and nose piece to get painted last week. When I went to pick it up, the body shop manager asks me if the hood was "For one of those old style jetskis where the handlebars go up and down and you ride them on your knees"

I said "Why yes, that is exactly the kind of ski it is for"

He then tells me that there was one guy that lived on his lake back in the day who owned one and could actually ride the thing standing up!!

I was tempted to ask the guy for the other fellows address, so I could look him up to get some lessons. He obviously had some mad skillz. :biggthumpup:

It's too bad they don't make those anymore.

 

[onesojourner]

its a shame. they had so much potential...

I love the way my SX-R circles around while I swim to it.

 

[Bruins]

I can't figure out how to turn mine, I keep leaning til I fall over. WTF, I'm going back to my sea couch!

 

[oxnard111]

i haven't seen one of those in years

 

[dogorbedogged]

i thought they outlawed those things years ago:dunno:

Those are lame. I want one of those big 3 seaters that you can do cool tricks on, like 360's and going really, really fast in a straight line.

You talkin' bout one of them there stand up type jet skis???

I saw one of those on a trailer coming home from school yesterday. I couldn't believe it. . . I wonder how old that thing is? Anyone know what year they quit making them? '94?

 

[Peter123]

If you had one, could you still get parts for it?

[TheLostOtter]

You mean those guys that ride within 1000 feet of my fishing boat? Damn them.

Junkyard? :dunno:

 

[750SX]

the look and the argument that follows the answer "yeah they still make them" is priceless

 

[Dirtybird]

They still make them? Aren't they hard to ride? Why would you want one? :dunno:

 

[Snackem]

I'd much rather a nice comfortable ski that you can actually ride and do things with. I mean who wants to get wet when they ride?

i'v always been afraid to ride one of those old style standup seedoo's, when you fall off you might get your foot cut off by the prop

You talkin' bout one of them there stand up type jet skis???

[Sanford]

Are you talking about one of those "cute little water scooters?"

(I heard someone say that about mine this month)
