    Skat Trak Magnum pump VS TBM pump insert

    I've run several mag pumps...I've NEVER had to rebuild. It works exactly the same way as the stocker. Unless something isn't done right,. or water is getting in, it should be every bit as reliable as a stock pump. Don't bother with the TBM, the mag works...

    Rickter FS-I/FR-1 Vs. FS-2/FR-2 for surf riding.

    The splash guard attaches with two bolts to the existing rails, and three self tappers straight into the nose.

    Rickter FS-I/FR-1 Vs. FS-2/FR-2 for surf riding.

    You don't need a Rickter to do straight jump tricks and fist pumps, I don't think you'd be wasting your time at all going back to a Superjet!

    Rickter FS-I/FR-1 Vs. FS-2/FR-2 for surf riding.

    Thats wiered...I've ridden quite a few Rickters, have since sold mine and am back with an OEM hull Superjet. If the Superjet had a nose rocker, and some decent material making up the bottom deck, I'd be quite happy. Don't get me wrong, I love the Rickter, but they have a few issues that need...

    Other Calling out Jeff @ Waterdawg Kustomz

    I know he has a bad rep as far as parts go, but me and several of my friends have ordered hood kits from him and recieved them. This was around 3 weeks ago, and the other a few months back. I know it doesn't help the situation you have but we have been happy with his service thus far, even...

    Surfriding tbm flywheel doesnt fit keyway or crank taper?

    I did just that,...I'm sure I posted the results somewhere too.

    Surfriding tbm flywheel doesnt fit keyway or crank taper?

    Not saying it is....what I'm saying is that this the reason I never rerally commented, because I know how most of these threads end up. I'm probably the most disgruntled customer out there when it comes to not getting what I paid for, but I'm not one to really put it out there, UNLESS I see an...

    Surfriding tbm flywheel doesnt fit keyway or crank taper?

    I couldn't agree more.... Yes, I did the testing with the Epic and TBM, and I can assure you that it worked perfectly. In saying that, the TBM flywheel that was sent to me for testing already had scuff marks all over the inner circumference of the flywheel from the teeth of the bendix that...

    Surfriding tbm flywheel doesnt fit keyway or crank taper?

    I hear alarm bells ringing...He knows all about the Epic, he just doesn't want to KNOW about it. Something is fishy with the TBM's...Nearly every flywheel I have seen has had some sort of problem with it. At the very minimum, the flywheel has somehow destroyed the bendix and then eaten bits of...

    Freestyle Best Freestyle Hull?

    Hey Norm...I'm excited to see what his new hull is like. From what I can see/have been told, it should be the ultimate surf boat!

    Freestyle Best Freestyle Hull?

    There is no such thing as one ski that is perfect for both surf and flat water freestyle. I think you need 2 ski's to be genuinely happy. I've ridden a fair few aftermarket hulls, including the Rickter, Matrix and XFT and I'm now building up a stock hull 98 Superjet for the surf. This ski is...

    More flatwater backflip attempts - still can't get it

    I'm certainly no expert, but when flipping on smaller waves (like 2 foot) I let the ski go up and I end up nearly looking at my feet with my arms fully stretched out. This allows the ski to gain momentum and forces you closer to the ski which makes your rotation faster. I think if you did that...

    Jets ski video Gold Coast Australia

    So I was going to write something smart, but that was pretty good, especially some of the angles etc in the first half of the video. Nice one Pete.... So um, how about some sound?

    Rickter fr2 set up wake help

    Check your couplers, you may have dropped your handbag in there...I hear that can really hurt performance, and effect setup wakes?

    EPIC cdi and TBM flywheel?

    There are some TBM flywheels that are not branded with the RRP logo on them that also DO NOT work with the Epic. At this stage I myself have been unable to identify the difference between a working and not working TBM/Epic combo without actually testing it in the ski.

    RICKTER talk

    When the pole is a bit short, I find that the handling gets a bit squirrelly as the nose rocker is in the water. Its nice to have the adjustment there though. You can also use the riser bars turned down to get the extra length. Yeah Chris has been working on them, but a short term solution...

    The pump discussion thread

    Just to throw something else into the ring. My engine builder advised me to use a 140mm mag pump on my 8mm/89mm Dasa PV engine. I'm quite confident that this will work great as the prop was supplied and pitched to his specs.
