    Does anyone else launch their ski from the back of a minivan?

    I do the same with my Suburban. I unbolted the 2nd row seating and put a 4'x8'x3/4" piece of plywood in the back covered in auto carpet. It makes the area completely flat, and gives me a cargo space underneath where the 2nd row seating was. I added 2"x2" rails/bunks for the ride down to...

    SXR Bow Stop

    I have photos of my SXR on the trailer on my Instagram account. The Bow Stop/Roller is position right in front of the bumper on nose of the ski. The Ratchet strap then goes down under and pulls up to hold them against each other. https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/hakunamajetski/

    Freestyle 2018 Daytona Freeride! Who’s going?

    Just checked into Ocean Breeze. The toilet won't stop running, the light bulbs flicker, the sofa has stains on it, there's no bar of soap, and the elevator smells like ganja. Party on Wayne!

    lt Just Sucks (at least Getting Old does)

    I started watching Last Man Standing with the girlfriend a year ago. It made me miss Home Improvement, so I bought the entire series on DVD.

    lt Just Sucks (at least Getting Old does)

    I just finished watching the entire Home Improvement series(the 90s sitcom with Tim Allen). There's a pretty good episode where he messes up his shoulder, but refuses to stay in the hospital. He's about to break the record of long running home improvement shows. "Does everyone know what time...

    Anybody else following the SpaceX Falcon Heavy?

    I've never seen a shuttle or rocket launch in real life. Daytona is an hour north of the launch site for the newly debuting SpaceX Falcon Heavy. Anybody else have their fingers crossed the launch window is the same week...

    lt Just Sucks (at least Getting Old does)

    I hurt my shoulder from doing yard work(weed whacking, leaf blowing, raking leaves, etc), and going duck hunting one day back in October 2015. It took a whole year for the pain to go away, and another year to have full motion of my shoulder. Luckily it didn't really affect my Jet Skiing, only...

    Compression change with altitude

    ...so now you have me searching the inter webs for the lowest point on earth(max PSI!), it's the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is 34% salt, which would increase the buoyancy of your ski. Maybe we should have flat water competitions there? Think of how much more power you'd be making along with the...

    800 SX-R Stability-Ride

    Your best bet for keeping water out, is to seal up the front breather hole on the hood. It lets in SOOO much water if you sub or plow through breaking waves. Add a second breather hole in the back near the tray area. Get the SXR Versi-plug to replace the drain plug. Water is stored in the...

    Other Anyone else considering changing jobs in this current economic climate?

    Just a rant on Blowsion steering.

    Krok collar is a joke. Mine kept coming loose then the allen bolt stripped out! I used a lock washer for a while, but that would come loose slowly. I've been using a double nut, and it seems to be holding. I also had the stud come loose, so I used Red Loctite to hold that in place. The...
