My favorites are the ones who limp in with smoke pouring out of the hood at 5 pm on a Friday, we are closed weekends, I have never seen them before and want me to come out and diagnose their issue, get their car back to them next day because they don't have another car. Me being in customer service has to go out, look at a 88 cadillac with ghetto advance auto hubcaps, missing a fender, leaking oil everywhere. You can tell they have never exercised an ounce of preventative maintenance ever. And on top of it want to buy their own parts and cut all of the fat out of the job. I live in a pretty diverse area if you can't tell.

This has been a entertaining thread guys. I really don't even care anymore, I will say I have received emails from highly respected companies that I don't even ride for thanking me for posting this. No ones else had the nuts to say it first, I'm glad I got to pop the cherry. Im not mad at all, where you buy your part does not affect me. I don't make my living in this industry.
You guys see the vids I post. Im about riding and progression. I have received SO many emails from people "tell me your set up" honestly it's all riding baby. Go out ride and practice because that's what it takes. Riders like Lucas, Eric Malone, and Lee Stone did not jump on 1000s and start flipping and getting gnarly there first day at the water park. They started just like you on your poopy set up. Ride it, break it, make it better.
What I will say is I'm riding all weekend with out a wet suite in sunny south Fl. I can't wait, super pumped. I will never open this thread again.
peace

Why don't you properly represent the several partnerships you have made with the companies in our community and set an example. Think you have balls by telling everyone what you think? Getting hopped up by a silly comment? Everyone I know holds back behind the keyboard because they are respectful. This is a forum. We make up maybe 10% of the jet ski community in the US. The other 90% have no idea who Dirkdiggler, Jetmaniac, DK1designs, XR-Tech or who KR Lines is. No, the other 90% go to Blowsion, Wamiltons, and Thrust. By the way Zeski, if you are not in the industry, why start the thread?

Welcome to the fabulous world of jet ski repair, I actually had one asshole rev his ski up over the phone, like I could diagnoise something that way.
You hear that, yeah sounds like a bunch of noise to me, what you think it is, I don't know man but hit that red button , that should fix it, have a nice day now !

Being self employed give you a whole new perspective, my place may look like Sanford and son, but I give excellent customer service, if you have a problem I will show up at your lake place and fix it, if I can't fix it on site I will tow it out , take it to the shop and fix it.
When I am done with your ski, it is repaired properly and it will not come back till you break something else. This kind of service is what keeps a business alive in hard times like these and one thing I never forget is that every single customer signs my paycheck, treat that customer like he is your only customer and you will never have a problem staying in business.
I started this business in August of 1999, its still kicking, there is a reason for that, ITS CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE !

what is the link between the fact there is competition in every market and the fact that Superjet0587 dont have the skill that you have now ??
sound to me a good question. If you are not making money with Jet ski industry why you care about that subject ??

thatnks for this comment, this whole thread makes sense now.
To the OP, no one cares if you started with all new parts with nothing refurbished. It's all used parts now, better sell it for less than cheap new if you want it to sell.

Hmm, this thread went downhill fast. :moon: Here I thought Zeski25 worked for Wamilton's?? (or used to?) I wonder how Wammer got started? I'm sure he didn't start in a big shop with lots of customers and $$. Everyone starts small, and builds if the market will support them. Jetmaniac is a good example. He started parting out skis, and moved up to selling new parts without needing a brick and mortar business with huge overhead. Maybe he'll move in that direction if the market will support more growth. If not, he's able to stay at his current level and run a legal business. No harm done.
As for Superjet0587's riding skills.... That was a number of years ago, and he later became a NATIONAL FREESTYLE CHAMPION. Zeski25: owned

There has been alot of bickering, sometimes low blows, and a whole lot of venting of frustrations etc.. going on in this thread. The good news is: things are out in the open. We are airing our grievances and expressing our concerns. I am in no way shape or form a distributor of parts, I am a consumer like 90+ percent of us on this forum. I may not know exactly how much $ the larger companies like DASA, X-Scream, Blowsion, Thrust, Superfreak, Atp, etc... spend on R+D on new products but I am willing to bet its substantial. Those companies and their efforts are furthering our abilities by improving Technologies and design. most of their efforts will gain them a temporary monopoly on their trademark products in which time I would hope that they both recoup those R+D costs and profit for their labors. No one works for free.
