650/X-2 2up X2

[Vumad]

I am sure these pictures make our preferances appear quite questionable, but I assure you this was simply for the challenge. :haha: The thing was designed for 2 riders after all, and most people just wouldn't believe me that she could ride with 2 riders, so naturally I had a point 2 prove.

Actually, the only challenge was getting up deep water. The X2 had plenty of power once we were at a stable speed, and it pulled plenty hard. This was when I was using the stock nozzle and had very little bottom end performance. I am sure with the larger nozzle it would now be much easier to get up in deep water. Still only running a 10/18 650 prop too.

I tried double again now that my girlfriend can handle the X2, and with 100 pounds less weight on the X2, getting up is much easier. It's nice to be able to take her out on a ride with me. Actually, she and I rode 2 up on the SJ, but naturally that was a little less accomidating.

That's why it was called the X2. It was the 1st ski designed for 2 riders. It is the grandfather of all the modern sit down skis.

I like grandfather. My X2 is much more powerful than my SJ. Also, the SJ is dainty, the X2 is a heavy pig in comparison.

But don't worry, I was greedy with the SJ all day. I like the SJ better, mostly because the X2 is just so dang heavy.

You can ride around with 2 people no prob. Starting is the only thing. It's a lot easier than 2 up on the blaster. You can ride 2 up on a stand up too which is the real challenge. Me and my cousin with a combined weight of 400lbs have ridden all 3 2 up. On a superjet and a old modded 550. I'm sure it looked a little gay but whatever. It was fun.
