you'll need straps. Where are you in florida. there is a guy in tampa and sebastian who've done them.

If you do a search you'll find a write up I did on installing straps on a blaster.

if you don't make it all the way around on the roll you'll crack the hood up. so when you go for it go hard good luck :bananalama:

i was going to say .if you are worried about a few holes for some screws then dont try a barrel roll. landing on the side is going bust a lot of stuff. i have one thats split down the bond line from a failed roll!!!

true, I broke lots of parts trying to roll my blaster. I ended up just buying a SJ once I decided it was time to start getting upside down.

Tim these guys were out at the same time as we were riding they were the three blasters you might have missed them.

I see. I don't think you can roll a pretty blaster. I suggest you beat it with a hammer first cause It's going to look like you did when your done learning to roll.

You should think about re-enforcing it now or you'll be doing repairs later.

i got one all beat to hell just for this lol.

I've been reinforcing myself blue in the face with these and still keep breaking hoods. If my vacuum bagging efforts this off-season don't last I am officially done with blasters. I want to spend my money and time on brap, not mother flippin fiberglass!

:grumble::tapedshut:

Wanna sell the beat to hell one lol Cheap?=)

ive done them.....and my boat is pretty........this is what you need....footstraps....and take my word when i say nut and bolt the foot straps. Its more work but worth the time. And make sure you got the steering right. Meaning you need to mod your nozzle and adjust your cable for max throw....and the rest is practice. I also found with a bigger than stock motor with 46 carbs will break your steering cable, so i put a B2 cable on mine....that takes a little work to,but pm me when you get to that point and i can make it easier for you than it was for me.. church hope this helps ....after alll this typing i hope you reallly go for it or i will be disappointed

 

[waveb1]

Thanks for your help Ill be ordering some straps after christmas I will pm you. Maybe you can come out and give me some pointers on the next swell.

 

[ryan]

doing them is not what breaks stuff !!! its the trying part that does!!

as with any roll don't bail dude. seriously... lock in and nut up. I don't roll blasters i'm just sayin. : )

 

[WaveDemon]

bailing on rolls is not that big of a deal. the rotation throws you away from the ski.

but you didn't learn to roll on a blaster.
