Finally anyway Im no expert but thats me on my FX1 Its only my 3rd time out doing fountains but at least give ya n idea how someone else on the same machine does it.

I dont have a lanyard anymore I eliminated the kill switch and my idle is turned down a little

You need to pick up mroe speed. I mean your doing them just fine but really need to keep it up on plane and faster so you can not worry about sinking first. Dont worry about getting ona fast line then doing it. just WOT the ski then jump into foutain.

I have the hardest time teaching my GF that she doesnt have to go a 1/8 of a mile before jumping on the hood. Do it withing like 20 feet.

I cant do fountains like that anymore...i full throttle my engine during one and it shoots my damn ski under:rolleyes:
 
Ive gotten them faster and smoother now but that seemed like the best for video purpose as far as visual for another guy trying them
Also that ski is pretty much stock except the AC pole and Blowsion low bracket Im still thinking about getting an SJ instead of modding this one
 
nice job. that is one of the first tricks I learned. Feels like such an accomplishment. By the way it is still one of the tricks I do. I am still a rookie. I will put my video up. took some this weekend. again nice job
 
Hey wasteland I know its not my thread and all but I hit it way faster yesterday and got the surprise that you can ride an fx1 backwards LOL Going faster than I meant to and my fountain turned into riding backwards for about 100yards that was fun LOL accidentally caught more throttle than I meant too But have now opened doors to new tricks and different back to back stuff funny what happens on accident! Still wish it was an SJ though LOL anybody want to trade LOL Tried the same stuff on my buddies SJ and damn it is so much easier!!! Thinking Im going to try and find me a roundy next year sure like that cleaner front end that pole and bracket can get scary!
 
Awsome video man,

That is just what I needed,

now I just need to get my idel adjusted. Mouthfulloflake told me about the screw I need to turn, but does anyone know with way to turn it?
 
I also went out right after I posted on sat. Its fun seeing myself progress. Did a tail stand for the first time yesterday, I can also do those spin out 360's and stay up everytime....and I learned to stand on it while the fx1 is not running, hard but I can stand a good 20 secs.
 
counterclockwise give it a little turn then blip the brap actuator to make sure and keep adjusting till it just barely stays running that should be about right
 
Oh boy, I can fountain now. I ll get a vid next time I go out, sure it will be amusing. Thanks for that video man, I copied that but with more speed and now I got it.
 
congrats man its pretty cool when you hit it the first time isnt it. Glad that vid helped I dont have anyone to watch or anything so thats why I tape myself to see what Im doing Im glad it helped someone else as well!
