Can a 92 square backflip????

[mademan9]

I have a 92 sq 650 and I was wondering if I had enough power to do a backflip?
mod list:
dual Mikuni 44mm carbs
Protec pipe and manifold
Rule bildge pump
Solas Impeller not sure pitch
Jet Ski Dynamics ride plate
K&N flame arrestor
Blowsion finger throttle
R & D sponsons
Rickter footholds
new ignition coil and plug wires,
refurbished stator plate (refurbished by Jet Ski Solutions)
Blowsion stubby pump cone
Intake grate, not sure make

In big enough surf, yes.

Flatwater, hell no.

Agreed.
My first backflip was on my old square in 6ft waves. I had a little more motor than you, but you should be able to do it.

What about off a boat wake? In south Louisiana we dont have to much surf. Maybe one day I'll get a 701. Would that do it?

factors....

your weight
your skis weight ( water clogged ?? )
your prop/pump set up

I havent measured pitch yet and I think my pump is pretty much stock. I actually just got it in July so havent had time to take things apart to check. I would say it weights about 280 to 290

unless boat = supertanker :biggrin:

 

[mademan9]

Lol. I got it.

Yeah, I tried quite a few off of a double up with my old boat and no luck. There are a few people that could probably do it(superrob), but not many. I would like to try again with my current ski. Should be do-able.

Here's my best attempt at a backflip on flatwater. It was off of mcdogs wakeboarding boat that was putting out whitecapping swells of about 3-4 feet. I've got 3" chopped off the back of the hull and I've just about maxed out my 701 with porting, total loss, etc. (see build for more details).

Anyway I'm sure I could make it around with some balls and some practice...and easily with some trim but for now, I still haven't pulled one off. The nose hit the water first but it still wasn't that close to nosing it in vertically. Thanks to mcdogs wife for the pictures.

that statement is just so wrong i have to say something. thats maybe a 1ft tall wake.
hit that thing closer to the boat, like right where it first starts to break.

 

[Matt_E]

No kidding. 1-1.5ft max.
3-4 feet is chest-high.

What about 2 couch waves?? They seem to make pretty nice caps.
