Thanks for the comment on the ski. I lag at realizing I have comments.

So I managed to crack my pole bracket on Sunday and figure I should get a new one before it goes all the way through. Currently I was looking at either the WDK or Blowsion one. Which do you guys recommend and why? Any others I should consider? Thanks.

practice, practice, practice. I found a stance similar to what I surfed with works well for learning the feel of the ski. Ride around with your body in different tray positions and just feel the way it handles differently with each. Bending your knees /squatting a little bit helps too. I don't...

Yeah, it sucks, some of my fav videos have been removed or are now silent videos. Some of these music companies need realize these videos can end up selling albums. I've personally bought an album after I heard a group I didn't know about on some action sport video. I found the best success...

Haven't tried the powder coat clear. Tried clearing polished aluminum before in a few different applications and found I prefer to just deal with quick wipes and an occasional good polishing. Seen little drops of misc contaminants that sometimes etch/stain the clear.

nothing really. Basically every couple of rides you just do a very quick polish with a fine or billet polish. Maybe 2-3 minutes total. Anytime the pipe comes out hit it with a polishing wheel on the spots you could never get to while it was installed.

Well, it's not perfect, some light swirls, but my polishing pads and wheels were shot but I figure the pipe will be out enough to finish it eventually. Strip Factory coating with Tal-Strip II (found at auto parts store) Clean with a good soap to remove residue Wet sand with 1500 or finer sand...

and I decided to remove the fuel selector, replace fuel and water lines, and do something about the faded coating on the factory pipe. At least it looks a bit better now. Only had this a few weeks and loving it, wish I could have rode this week, a bit cold and too much to do, maybe I'll get it...

Looks good!

heh, if there's a Nevada section this will definitely be my new home. Thanks for the reply about that.

Well, I must say I will be spending more time here now. I first found the other site, met JonnyX2 from the Nevada section and ended up buying an X2 from him for cheap that became my wife's. Using the vintage section there and the Nevada group I got back into riding, a decently quick 550 and...

I finally found a good deal and broke down and bought an FX-1. Actually I was actively searching for one. Best decision yet. Ski feels so much better to me over an SXR or SJ. I even got my wife hooked on it, who usually prefers her X2. 760, single sbn44, Factory B-pipe, Pro-tec plate & grate...

Just picked up my FX-1 a week ago and still learning some things. For an aftermarket steering kit (like UMI) I should use one from a 96+ SJ correct?

I have to disagree with the Pennywise support thing. I had 3 videos pulled that had Pennywise songs. The worst part was they came from the album they gave out for free and told people to do what they want with it. I was tempted to argue it, but figured youtube could probably pull most of my...

I was riding during that storm, haha. No rain at the cove.
