    Spare ski poll (550, fx1 or b1)

    So I've found a very nicely modded Fx1 for 3k but it shows it's age and I've found a showroom mint (seriously looks just uncrated) 96 blaster but bone stock for $2,500. Leaning towards the b1 now.

    Spare ski poll (550, fx1 or b1)

    My friends dont get a say! Haha that's why I'm probabaly going to get either an fx1 or a blaster because I want to ride it!

    Spare ski poll (550, fx1 or b1)

    Just bought my 13 a few weeks ago after being out of the sport for 12 years lol. Haven't even ridden it yet! I dont want another SJ because I want something I'd want to ride, too. So for me it's those 3 skis. Well, mostly the b1 and Fx1. The 550 is just an idea because they're cheap.

    Spare ski poll (550, fx1 or b1)

    You guys are starting to sway me back towards a b1. I'd prefer to find a nice condition b1 with a pipe and heads for 3k or less but I havent seen any in that price range. I'm looking at a really mint (looks brand new) 96 b1 but she is bone stock. Might consider it for the right price but man...

    Spare ski poll (550, fx1 or b1)

    I'm shocked there isnt more love for an FX-1. I've never ridden one but I'm leaning towards that. I figure it could bring more stand up riders into the sport, too! If it wasn't for a friends 440 back in 2004 I might have never had my eyes opened to stand ups! Plus I just really wanna ride an...

    Spare ski poll (550, fx1 or b1)

    I owned a 701 SN before. I can't say why but I didn't like that ski.

    I had a b1 a long time ago and I do remember how much fun it was trying to watch people get on that thing!!

    Spare ski poll (550, fx1 or b1)

    I'm considering getting a spare ski for friends to ride. I've found some nice 550s with the typical mods (pipe, heads, etc) for around 1k. I've also found some decent fx-1 and blasters for around $3k. I don't wanna blow more than 3k for a spare ski and I want to fit it on the large single pwc...

    Custom lifters question

    I saw them, but why not just use wood as long as I coat them in epoxy which should water proof em?

    How bad is this?

    We all have our tastes. Out of all the skis I've ridden the 650 is the only ski that I really didn't like at all. Maybe it's because I only rode it for 30 minutes but it felt like riding on a piece of flat plywood. If the OP is just looking to cruise an SXR might be a great option if within...

    Custom lifters question

    I'm planning on making some lifters for my SJ. I plan on making them out of wood, coating them with epoxy to waterproof em, using contact cement and a few stainless wood screws to attach to the sides over the existing hydroturf, and then adding turf over them. I always wear shoes when riding. Is...

    Thanks to Paul and the X! New to me SJ

    I left this sport 12 years ago and got into boating for various reasons but always missed my 97 limited setup SJ (and all the cool people I rode with). This year I decided I was going to jump back into the sport and when I posted an SJ I was looking at on this site Paul sent me a pm saying he...

    Paint code for yamaha black

    I'm dropping the hood off to a body shop this week. If it's primed correctly it shouldn't flake... I hope! I know my old SJ never had this flaking problem.
