Not a good Idea! I had a hull that had this done and the styrofoam turned into hard little balls over time. Not quite sure how this happened but it was all bad trust me. I refoamed with regular two part foam. you can get different densities.
Ahh Yes... The monkey jump
I remember that trick like it was yesterday. Get in a solid tail stand with a very small amount of steady throttle to keep the ski a little higher out of the water. This is the tricky part though. All in one motion you let go of the throttle and let the ski dip...
We're Ready!
Thanks to the guys that gave Our trim system props. We have tested several different components and configurations and have what we feel is an awesome system. For anyone interested please contact the ski clinic and we will fab one up for you. This is a must have component once...
first roll
My first roll was on a 550 back in 1998. I tried for about a year straight and finally got lucky once or twice. I got an SJ and was rolling every time in two weeks. Now as far as the backflip is concerned that's a completely different story. 1200cc WDK otta do ya. But I have...
Top Angle
The top angle of the handle pole needs to be a little less (almost straight) to keep it from hitting the hood without using a bunch of pads. The new bun pole has an adjustment for that very thing. I am having Jeff from Waterdawg Kustomz build me one with less angle.
Here!
I'll be there, I just put my ski in a crate and on a truck Nashville bound. I'm the only one from Cali that I know that is coming. I love Pat but me and him are gonna battle if he's going for first place. I'm not really into trash talking but it sounded good.
Rev
I am on a REV til Jeff decides that he wants me to ride an envy. I know the new pipe does wonders for the 1200 and I can't help but think it might work on the 800. Waterdawg Chris is making a manifold for the 62t right now and testing for 1000cc lameys will begin real soon. As soon as...
little clip
here is a short little clip of the performance of this pipe. We only had a cell phone to record with. This wasn't even one of my better backflips but it should give you some idea.YouTube - Dry pipe test 08
No Changes
I don't think that there will be any changes due to the the fact that these are stamped aluminum and he had to have custom dies made and they are very expensive. Jeff had to put out a lot of dough up front to get these things going. Delivery should be just around the corner, I...
I just got back from Oregon from testing the new dry pipe this weekend and I hope that my arms will go back to their original length. This thing makes crazy power over the old pipe that was originally designed for the 800 and used on the 1200. Jeff has finally came up with the ultimate...
I agree
I did the same thing to my rev footholds and it was a good move. Also underpadding is a wonderful thing (get a sheet). Sometimes when I get a sore spot on my foot I will put underpadding inside my shoe til it get better.
Probably heavy
I'm sure that the RRP is almost double the weight as well. The RRP weighs aprx 13 lbs. and Bun had a non adjustable pole at the finals one year that weighed 4.4 lbs (we did the conversion to find out). However it looked a little too light if you know what I mean. I'm sure...
TBM Is Awesome!
I ran one with an 800 flat top and it worked great. Its a great magnum pump substitute. I am now running a Waterdawg Kustomz 1200cc and a 148mm mag. TBM is a Great product for the money.
summer spring dilemma
Without looking at it I am going to tell you that you don't really need the hole for the spring as long as it has enough tension just sitting on top of the bracket. Maybe you could get your hands on some other springs from different skis and try them. I feel you on...
Close!
That was pretty close to a backflip. Vee wake is a little harder than the surf with no power. I prefer being broke (no money) and doing them on flat water. Its just more exciting.
The first stop of the National tour is this weekend and who wants to see some flatwater backflips? Then get off your couch and come on down. Who's going this weekend? Freestyle-FX1 you in still? Going to be an exciting weekend. How bout a roll call.
