Anyone ever barefoot on an X2?

I did it on monday night on glass water, it was cool until I lost my right foot and slammed my ankle into the bond rail.:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

yeah i used to ride mine all the time in bare feet , the only reason i stoped is its winter here and im useing a pair off jet poilet booties now to keep my feet warm . plus you get so much more grip with shoes even in summer ill keep useing them now

Not in bare feet:cool2: , like barefoot waterskiing. The Ripper use to do it on 550's, you stick your feet along side the hull in the water and just hold onto the bars.

I can put more than half my weight on one foot - can't seem to find the nerve to step the other foot off the ski! BTW You really need to be in the high 40's at least for this..

water cant support my 200 pound ass, even with my huge feet...

tried once, didnt come out of it too well.

I just was finally able to do it on a 650sx. Its hard to swing the inner leg out. 2nd time I did it, I ended up eventually rolling the ski on its side even at full throttle.

Just wait for glass to try it.

Just put your feet on each side of the hull and stand up.

Ah.. the Old skool barefoot... I think the Ripper was the one who invented that.. Cant think of anyone earlier than him that did it..

I never had a X-2 but dont know why you couldn't barefoot from it!
I've done in on my old 650SX's, 750SX/SXI's and my current Superjet, and I do it on my XP too. You just jump off and commit around 50mph(looks best) and yes the glass helps.. A little regular chop is cool but any unregular wave pattern makes it looks like crap, you bounce all over hell and you can hurt yourself .
I jump right off to both feet then quicly go to 1 and raise my other leg as high as i can. Makes a huge spray! and is fun too.. I like to go into a huge power bulldog after a barefoot run. If you pansy around and lay your feet in the water slowly and dont really get all your weight into the water and on the support of your feet, throwing huge spray.. it looks gay IMO.
Fun trick.. once you grow the nads to jump off and commit.
