    300/440/550 1988 650sx pipe and carb question

    That should be a nice pipe juging by the sise. No idea what it is though. Make sure that carb is not a 28mm. Dont waste your time on that tiny carb. Pick up a 44 for a stock 750 or 701 and jetting should be close for a modded 650. Good luck. Fun ski!

    What engine to put in 650sx build?

    I tried to verify the weight but could not find the specs anywhere. Anyone know how much they weigh? I think all the ones I've had must have been waterlogged. But I don't see why it isn't a good freestyle boat. It slides well, it dose hood tricks well. If it really is lighter, that's a...

    Freestyle project hull

    Love to see this thing on the water. This could be the new go to hull. Looks like it will be a lot of fun and really easy to hood trick on. Let's see some footage. GoPro!!!

    Logo for shirts and such

    OK Mick. I guess I missed it too then. I still haven't found the official site for this ride this year. I guess someone else is going to have to take care of these shirts. I can probably get them done for $10 a shirt. I just need the file and everyone's Moola first. If someone else can't...

    What engine to put in 650sx build?

    Agree here. That was my first ski too. Lot's of fun till I got my SJ. The 650 sx hull is wayyy to heavy for it's size. One suggestion though is to ditch that tiny carb and drop a cheap 44 on it. That makes a huge difference on the stock 650. Any more work than that is a waste of time and...

    What is the X Video Project?

    I don't think I can get the guys out to the dam any time soon. Most of them are scared of the cold and the one with the other Hero cam is one of them.

    What kinds of different riding footage do we want/need?

    We need it here to get some footage of me and possibly others jumping over/off the Guadalupe river dam here in New Braunfels. I did it once but with no cam:17:. If I ever try it again, we'll have to take as many shots as possible. We have one Hero, we need another for different wiew. We can...

    What is the X Video Project?

    Maybe we'll use it to shoot me jumping off the Dam on the Guadalupe. I wish we had a camera the first time!

    I think maybe it was too soon? It's still 3 months away. :thumbsdown: Ask us again in late march and I'm sure there will be plenty of us ready to pony up 10buks. I'm in for a couple when your ready let me know and I'll send my moola in. BTW, Aprill is warmer but it's tooooooooo late. I...

    Square nose old school carbon top deck!!!

    OK, I have a deal in the works. Once I get the proccess started, I'll post up a build. As soon as I have some extra $ or one of my FX-1s sell, I'm going to get started on a Carbon/Kevlar bottom deck conversion with the '08 style deck. This should be a killer ski losing 20-25 lbs. plus gain a...

    Square nose old school carbon top deck!!!

    OK, that's a great Idea. I bet you shaved a ton of weight on the bottom deck too. How bout converting the bottom to a set back '08 at the same time? Save 30lbs and improve the carvability too. That's the way to go!!! OK Who can build me a Carbon/Kevlar weave '08 style bottom deck? I'll mod...

    No, I've have never completed a backy. I have gotten all the way around but I was kinda sideways. I guess I have been upside down but it was a roll not a flip. But it was 8+ years ago. That's what the "BS" flas was for. It was a bad attempt at a joke. I honestly don't know if I'll do a roll...

    Square nose old school carbon top deck!!!

    Yea, much lower pole mount, and the pump intake is smaller on the square like a stuffed pump roundie. The Sn is a little more stable and predictable at all speeds.

    Square nose old school carbon top deck!!!

    I know I'm just dreaming I guess. Maybe I'll chop up a hull one day and do it myself. I have thought of a Matrix. The Rickter looks sweet but I haven't seen pricing for a bare hull. Besides, I know how a square feels, I like it. If you lighten it up, It makes a more predictable change than...

    Square nose old school carbon top deck!!!

    OK, I'm a square guy. I love the look and feel of a square. I truly believe they are a superior ski to the roundy. If you disagree, this thread is not intended to hash out an old argument. This is for guys like me that prefer the lines of a modern Cadillac to the lines of a '70 Vette. My...

    FX-1 144 in fx-1 pump question

    I did the 144 mod. I completely changed the intake and mounts so that any old 144 with a FX shaft bolts right up. It dose not cavitate at all any more and it makes the ski soooooooo much better than a SJ IMO. It is still sqwirly but, that can be fixed by extending the depth of the chines...

    Spring 2010 ride

    Just me I guess. From a remote hotel location somewhere near area 51. Let's decide soon so we have no excuses this time. Wherever we ride, lets get a huge group and make it count. Last years season was a joke for the GRR. We rode like 5 or 6 times. I want to go big this year. I need some...
