Freestyle Oh my, I am getting a Rickter X-FS

[Polish jet pilot]

I've been on the forum for about 3 years now and I can say this has been a wonderful time for me with all the knowledge and friends I acquired durng this time. I got hooked up on jet skiing badly and cant imagine a summer without riding.

I started with a 550 had it for 3 seasons and learned all about skis with that platform (hard but good times). Then I moved onto a RN SJ, which then was modded and ridden till this day. I have to say that I looked with some envy at the guys here who have some amazing multithousand dollar machines and can perform amazing tricks with them...I decided that If I want to keep on improving my skills and do it on a budget I would need first a short and light hull with all the new features, and then think about bi big engine..

To make a long story short I will star posting pics of the "swap" into the XFS around may, when they arrive here.
If anybody has any info on what to look after/ watch out during the swap/build - I will be greatly obliged!

Thank you guys. This is a huge step for freestyle in POland - hopefully more people will understand what a great sport this is.
I will need to eat bread and potatoes to get this one, but, hell I have few pounds overweight anyways and you live only once.
Quik poll: white or black?

[Matt_E]

[chasingdaylight]

[Suprapto]

White......I just got one white ricketier for me too:burnout:

 

[Polish jet pilot]

Cool! I also like it in white very much - looks more "pimp" I guess + white is easier to maintain !

What about the back tank @ 300 usd? I think with a hull of such a caliber it is mandatory..(especially if I have a 727cc motor now)

My vote is white, Thats the colour I ordered. What delivery date were you given?

 

[harrypotter]

Nice ! White all the way . There's a long wait for these . I rode tc one at daytona as soon as I got up on it I was like where the front gone ! It's tiny like the pole is underneath you . Fun little ski I would advise loosing any access weight I had trouble with the ski constantly tail standing weather recovering from a roll or just slowing down a tiny bit . Conditions were more like big chop than surf so that didn't help . Would think it's much better on flat ,what it was really made for anyway ! Im may be getting something from mr Roy aswell in White of course

im going with the firewall gas tank in mine but im worried it'll just tail stand all the time.. ill give it a try anyway "when in rome"

 

[junkyardj]

id like to see a good pic of the firewall tank if you got one?

 

[Jr Freestyle]

The rear tank is cool, but keep in mind you'll have to jam all you electrical somewhere else
