    Ballastic lithium battery on fire in jetski!

    Sorry but I refuse to put a battery in my ski that has a tendency to blow up when dropped, jostled, hit with a hammer, you get the idea. I've had 2 LiPo's go full retard on me while flying my video rig, not fun....

    Ballastic lithium battery on fire in jetski!

    I would NEVER use a Lipo on a total loss system. Hell, I would never use a lipo in my ski period! They are great and maintenance free yea, but they are SUPER temper mental.

    Other The Idiots Guide of What Not To Do...or forget to do.

    Not ski related, but 2-stroke related. Found out the hard way that a fuel petcock on my KTM 360 was backwards.... I spent well over an hour putting the petcock to ON (which was off) it would run until the carbs went dry. I thought I flooded it, so I would switch to OFF (which was on) to clear...

    Surfriding Best wrist watch for jet skiing?

    I second the Nixon watches. I am a HUGE fan of their styling, but I have no use for a tide monitor. I love what Ross had done in Champion Timepieces, but it's just outside of my reach financially...

    Joy...... (knee injury)

    I've thought about riding the yamaha (couch) for the rest of the season, but I know I couldn't just take it easy on it... that was the whole reason for not solely owning a couch lol. I've come to the conclusion that my season is done. I've debated unloading everything to fund an AM hull, but I...
