Oh Yea!!! A custom free ride SXR!! This is gonna be sweet! Whats Jeffro gonna do?

 

[Johnnyhaggest]

Does it have to be custom ski or can it be a very nice painted ski with real clean motor and pumpsection.
Maybe we can add another class.
There are lots of freeride skis with hood kits and nice paint jobs but they do not fall into custom cat.

Just a thought.

 

[Big Kahuna]

yeah, lets make it like racing is today, 50 gazzillion classes (catagories)...

Only way I see to do it different is PRO Vs. Am.

 

[Big Kahuna]

Yes, Wammer was the true innovator in freestyle. He did all the origional boats as far back as 88 I belive. He built for the likes of Ripper, Watkins, Roy, Berlew & many many more..........
I hope it is true that he will participate. I can only imigine what he could come up with. This would be a great compition for sure!!

I dont think he did anything for Ripper or Watkins........

I think they guy that did Watkins was something like "Looper or Loopers House of Kolor - somehting like that.......... may be the same for Ripper.
paint jobs were similar.

 

[Jr.]

I thought they were both riding for R&R jet tech. The guy who was doing the paint at the time was a Brazillian from So Fla....... Wammer???
Maybe I'm wrong...... time to go thru some of the old mags

 

[Big Kahuna]

who wasnt riding for R & R at the time......... Ripper was with PJS for most of the time..........

I know Looper did Watkins for sure....... may, wish I had my old mags still!!!!!

this is a great question. I think that Riot and the big dogs should
talk about this, Pro and Am class, or anyone can enter ?
This will open up build to lots of heads.... Be very cool,
but it is also peoples choice votes. So 2 class would be good
so pros boats dont miss the votes.:wink:
Like if I wanted to enter, would a boat made by WCF and an engine
by Jr.magoos be allowed or custom enough to be entered, Mind you
I am not building those 2 things but i would be making it a custom
install and doing other custom personal things to it. Tough call.
is others boats a total custom... :cool2: I think 2 classes would be cool.
I would love to see what people think of different boats.... like sluts
parrs, superjettdave, geeks, and a bunch of others... that would be cool.
I could also see like 100 people entering as well, tough call....
what you think X-h20 ?

Here's the problem Pete................... This compition is about FUN!
It's not about classes, or who beats who, or anything else. Racing has so many classes, it basicly bored everyone to tears............ Thats not going to happen here. This is Fun, For Bragging rites. for ooohs & Ahhhs.
Win , Loose, or Draw, we are all friends in the end.

Last year there were more custom boats on the beach , than were entered in the build. This year, in expanding on that, everyone was welcomed to participate. the only basic rule is, you have to build (assmble & customise) your own boat. going up against, whoever might enter. Pro's included. All for FUN!! It's not about having more winners, it's about having lots of boats on the beach. it's about FUN!!

 

[Waste Land]

IMO - Keep it one class

Run what ya brung style. Adding classes will just make it more trouble. Keep it simple. Sack up or sitdown....one vote one person.

I think keeping it simple is the way to keeping it fun.

well said...its really just about the fun of building the things and showing off your craftsmanship.......or lack of:frown:

I think these rides and buildoffs are an excellent way to grow the sport. Me and my freinds attended the Fall lanier ride last year. It was our first ride, not that we havn't been riding along time, but just found the boards Last summer and learned about the rides. Anyway we were truely inspired by the skis we saw there and their wasnt even a buildoff. I went home that week and tore my ski apart and all three of us currently have builds going on.Whens the deadline? You guessed it, the spring Lanier ride.Our builds cant even compare to the skis some of you build but have been fun and a great learning expierience none the less. I cant wait to see what people pull out of there hat and I bet there will be alot of customs not in the buildoff just like ours. They will be awsome to see too.http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/96

 

[PancakePete]

Ok. Sounds good.

 

[RonnyMac]

All great points guys!
I think this year we need to keep it one class (everyone).
maybe next year we will split it up to am/pro classes. This is getting big!
Amateur would be tough to figure out who qualifies. A guy like T-Bone would have to spend a lot more $ than a guy like Pete with all his sponsors.
Lots of things to consider to split it up.

Really Good call. Thinking about it, I would much rather vote and spectate. Seems like it should be for true customs builds from the
bottom, up. :Banane01:

 

[waterfreak]

The more the better!! I hope we have 100 people in the buildoff (that would be everybody there!) it's about the commadery and sharing a passion we all have .

let not forget all of the drinking too!!:beerchug:

Oh yeah, who ever wins get's the bragging rights

Who will it be?????
:bow28:

who will lose?
:rippedhand:

 

[michael950]

Not that I have attended a Riot Ride... yet... but it seems the build off is to see who has the best ski (function and style). I would definately hate to compete against Paul or Steve, but I also do not think if I had a WCF hull with a Magoo Lamey special I would not be allowed to enter. Remember, there is also pole, hood, pump, paint, inginuity, creativity, and bling.

The question to ask when voting:
"Which ski would I want to have if I could take one?"
