    Other Building a Textreme Hybrid Rickter XFR-LT... maybe, probably, likely, hopefully!

    Right on! Some one correct me but an xfr is just an xfs with a heavier layup?

    Is it worth it to buy a Yamaha Superjet hull

    Always cheaper to buy one ready to ride. It'll cost you twice as much to build it as it would buy 1 running

    Looking to buy Freestyle ski but need advice

    Superjet is a great choice for %95 of riders. I moved onto an fs2 evo after a year on my superjet and could never go back but for others the fs2 hull may ride to aggressive for them especially if you're just starting out. You can't quite ride as "lazy" as you could on an SJ But still easy...

    The usual pipe enhancer flywheel head. Not all am hills will flatayer flip with a 701. And you need to be one hell of a rider.

    Question on ride plate design vs pole length

    You can remove the pole or just be very careful when cutting. I'm doing mine in the off season so I plan to remove my pole and take my time. The cable juat pushed down onto the hull. Shouldn't require any adjustments

    Question on ride plate design vs pole length

    Chop it! My SJ has minus 2 steering and I could easily loose another 5" ontop of it. Once you ride am am ski with a shorter pole you'll know why. Going from my fs2 with full length rrp tubes to my superjet with stock pole is BRUTAL im chopping the stock pole asap. You can even chop it and stand...

    Looking to buy Freestyle ski but need advice

    My SJ has a stock 701 and the piped 701 in the fs2 feels WAY better. Hard to explain but if you tap wot in my fs2 the whole ski will pop out of the water 1-2 feet. you hit wot with the stock SJ and it kinda just water wheelies. The fs2 is probabaly only 20 or 30 pounds lighter but the hull...

    Looking to buy Freestyle ski but need advice

    170 lbs, just a 701 with a pipe and it's still a rad time. Obviously after riding it a few years you may want something closer to a 900 but I still think I have a ways to go skill wise before just jumping to a bigger engine. I'm more into reliability than a bigger engine for now. All i ride is...

    Looking to buy Freestyle ski but need advice

    Also doing water wheelies on a spark and riding a 900cc freestyle boat is like comparing a 90hp daily driver (oil change and brakes every few years) to a 10 second purpose built drag car that that requires constant attention. Are you able troubleshoot ignition problems? Ignition curves? Tune...

    Looking to buy Freestyle ski but need advice

    I've never ridden one but its just a new and improved fs2 evo so it's a surf ski. It's going to ride more like a short superjet than a freestyle boat but 10x as fun than a stock hull. If you want to flatwater flip an edge or fs2 your going to need a big CC engine and be extremely skilled.l but...

    Looking to buy Freestyle ski but need advice

    I was in your shoes few years ago but coming from a superjet and ended up buying an fs2 evo which I'm inredibly happy with. I'm glad I didn't buy a full out freestyle ski because I enjoy stabs/spins/chasing wake boats and just slashing around cruising lakes and river enough that I don't need...

    Krashindustries.com is selling 997cc RTR Skis for $12,000.00

    You get what you pay for and if youre ok with having a new ski that may need some immediate retuning and warranty work im sure they are ok for you. I always say you either spend the big money up front or you spend the money trying to make the cheaper product feel like a high end one and in the...
