Nice! :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup:

When I checked the USAToday website this morning, imagine my surprise to see a a little photo of a chick on a Rickter hull in the "Photo Galleries" section of the home page. Sure enough, I clicked through to a full size photo of Anna Gonek in a Moscow freestyle competition [but there was no...

Thanks for making me like less of a loser for spending my time taking care of my family, job, house, etc. Its only taken me a year to strip my old hull and flip it over. :ugh:

Yes, FHA, VA, etc., are non-recourse, but not all original loans are non-recourse to start with.

I moved back in with my parents from ages 25-28, and it was a really positive experience. I am much closer to my parents now because of it. Of course, all my sisters had already moved out, so it was a pretty calm household. My folks had always told us kids that we could live at home for free...

I went ahead and uploaded my worthless ATC2K video to YouTube, just for comparison. My ATC2K was velcro-mounted to the rubbery handlebar cover of my WaveBlaster2, which I thought would provide some isolation from the ski's vibration. It didn't. As soon as the engine starts, the vibration ruins...

I checked Mark Gomez's blog. He used a Go Pro Wide. That setup seems to be the hot ticket currently. You'd never get that quality with an ATC2K. Well, not my ATC2K anyway. The newer 3K or 5K models may be able to deliver this quality; I have no experience with them. You might find this...

Also, you instinctively tend to keep your head fairly level. Mounted to a hardpoint, your camera will tilt with every tip of the ski, which can be annoying. The only time I've seen ski-mounted cameras work really well is when they are pointed back at the rider, so that there's something that...

I tried mounting my ATC2K on the handlebars of my couch once, but the vibration made everything really jerky and shaky. I can post the resulting crappy vid if you'd like to see it, but trust me, it was a lot worse than the video quality when helmet mounted.

Yes, I think these guys are dreamers and jerks. But no, I don't think their ski is a bad thing. It surely needs more development, but that's good. Right now, there's a lot of home-brewed innovation in electric vehicles I think is exciting. The average joe has been able to tinker around with I/C...

It seems to me that once you went through the effort to transform a 'biler engine into a PWC engine, you'd end up going through the all of the same sort of mods that Yamaha, Polaris, and Rotax did to come up with the existing ski motor options, probably at a higher cost in the end, lower...

Regardless of of the fading issues, I have to give HT kudos for taking the time to get on here, connect with their customers, and try to investigate/ address the problem.

Good point. I'm 45 and never touched a computer until I was in college. First home machine was a Commodore 64 hooked up to a 14" TV. But at least I sprung for the 340K floppy drive 300 baud modem.

I don't understand why people complain about how they keep getting older — isn't that the whole point in life?

I had better get busy modding, or get busy dying...

Dang, I'm older than 94% of you! I didn't realize that 45 was so... old.

You're quite correct. I forgot the thread said that it was an 08 bottom.

The design patent on the bottom hull shape has expired. The 14-year limit on the roundnose top deck is about to expire. It would not be worth trying to sue. Even an immediate injunction would not be effective for very long. Add in the possibility of a counter-suit, plus the PR hit, and legal...

is that the Mach V Quadski?

So, what's the status on this build? Is it still being worked on, on the back burner for "someday," or ???
