Also avoid spending money at companies that support stuff like this. I believe the owner of one of the casinos here is responsible for some of the Tahoe ban which set the standards for the current bans happening.

I think in the past they used jetskiing pics on their tourism site. makes me believe they are cashing in on the Mead/Mohave/etc ban, lol. Saying, "come visit us, we like jet skis."

See different story for Mohave than Mead. People are riding Mead every week right now and not being bothered. Not to mention last year riding from March to Thanksgiving on weekdays (no weekends) I saw the rangers all of twice. They were lacking staff because of funds last year and are hurting...

And a big problem with all this is that depending on who you talk to, you get a different answer. Most of our info is related to Lake Mead, but even some guy at Powell was told this would be an "education year". Many riders here have contacted the actual Rangers, NDOW, NPS, etc. and nobody gets...

Yep, I was talking to Chad and he grabbed Steven (who I'd never met before) to show us the video and was laughing about it. Some of the companies out there honestly used these as demo skis for the average person that may be interested in a hull soon. From trying a few out I knew right away what...

Yeah, was pretty insane yesterday. Huge flips and rolls everywhere. Was intimidating to ride around those guys, almost all were very cool and friendly too.

Only took a couple. Thought a thread needed started with all the cameras we saw yesterday. Gorilla suit backflip was funny and cool.

No :-):-):-):-)! If I came back to my ski with a venomous snake on it, my ski would have bullet holes in it. I don't know how people do it.

Should be there Sunday (no skis) and Monday after (with at least one ski). Possibly w or th as well. Depends on a few things including job situation.

The new one is definitely quieter than the old style. Actually sounds less "tingy" and deeper than the stock one.

^What he said. I used to have a hard time telling, but after a few times of feeling a lean hesitation it was way easier to tell the difference between the two.

I had this question the other day. My buddy told me the way it's supposed to be and I looked it up because I didn't believe him. I happened to find a factory manual/diagram. Factory diagram showed one going each way with the round edges on the little pin facing the outside of the hood on either...

Oh yeah, forgot that point. The weight is a little noticeable too.

As mentioned above, it's not a huge increase on most skis. My wife's ski has the new gen X-Metal box and we have tried it on a single carb 701 and ported 760 and compared it to stock water box. Really it just made the bottom end a tiny bit crisper on the 760 and seemed to help response through...

Should lightly sizzle first few inches per Factory pipe instructions. http://www.factorypipe.com/t_pipetuning.php
