I started a similar thread to this a while back also and I got some different responses so I was unsure whether it would be worth it or not. Anyways I found a good deal on a new one so I figured I would give it a try. I had been running a stock cdi previously and then added the MSD by...

:haha: That's the only thing that sucks about relying on your limiting rope as your tow rope. When you ride someone else's blaster(cough cough:biggrin: ) and it takes a crap on you in the middle of the break at Daytona you don't have a tow rope cuz your tow rope is on your ski.:banghead...

I heard that someone was thinking about making a conversion hood for the SXR to make it like an X-2 and it's not 24-7.:sneaky:

Not necessarily. You can bail WOT and still hang on. You just end up getting dragged on your back like a barefooter.:biggrin:

haha. I can't believe Tim hasn't seen this thread yet.

There are two things I don't like about the Blowsion besides the price: 1. It's not very strong at all so you can't use it as a tow rope. 2. It is setup so that it wraps around the hood latch instead of clipping into a designated mounting location. I made mine for about $12 and it has...

I agree. For an experienced rider like Paul I don't seem them as being AS necessary. I myself am in the process of learning to barrel roll so mine has come in handy a few times.

Here is the best picture I could find of mine.

As far as what length to make the rope and bungee material I would do the following: -Make the rope long enough to where when it is fully stretched out there is about 4-6 inches more of travel before the handlepole maxes out. -I would then make the bungee material short enough to where...

Does this help?:biggthumpup:

I would definitely run one. The AC pole and xmetal bracket are definitely stronger than stock, but if you torque it really good you could possibly rip out the bracket or tear up the fiberglass a little. It's a cheap mod that provides peace of mind and the best part is that if you make it...

They are awesome. I would love to have one. I have ridden Wavedemons a few times and I really liked it. Once I can afford to buy one and have another ski to put it on I plan on getting one. If I had to decide between a pole ski or a conversion ski I would pick the pole ski, but if I had two...

Chuck @ Team Scream in Clearwater is by far the best in the area. He is also on the boards and his username is Supertune. Whatever you do don't take it to one of the huge dealerships in the area that have mechanics fresh out of school. This is our local riding group. There are a ton of...

Not for Cracker. I think he primarily rides surf. I definitely admire what he has done by shedding all that weight and he can definitely back it up with his riding skills now, but to ride a ski in the surf with no reinforcement and NO FOAM AT ALL seems crazy to me. I just can't afford to sink my...

you sure about that:biggrin: http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/16342 After you reinforce a stocker I bet it will weigh more than the xmetal. Pat must have made changes to his pole because I don't remember it being this light.:dunno:

real riders ride barefoot.:bigeyes: that being said I must not be a real rider cuz I ride with shoes.:biggthumpup:

I have posted this before, but I figured I would copy and paste it into your thread so you can see a good step by step break down for modding an SJ.:biggthumpup: Honestly I think it's best to take it in stages kind of like Wamiltons steps he has on his website. I know they're kinda cheesy...

My philosophy on Scuppers is that if you are the type of person who takes on a lot of water and needs the water out quickly for the nest trick(i.e. freestyle competition) then they are a must for you. Now I also think you can still be the type of rider who does the harder riding that takes on...

I'm gonna try and make it. Anyone have a beginner's stock SXR that I can use to give racing a try? I've been running bouys for years on blasters and riding superjets, but I have to warn you that I only have about 10min on an SXR. :bigeyes: I'll go easy on it though. I just want to get the...

yeah, but scuppers get the water out of the boat sooo much faster.
