Are you helping the sport grow? Or watching it die??

[WFO Speedracer]

Over the years I have taken several people under my wing and helped them along, I sold them parts , answered countless questions over the phone, still do in fact , I have reupholstered seats for them and dropped by helping them out when they hit snags working on stuff , both of them are now flipping skis and one rides standups and a new style X2 , in turn he is selling good quality skis , a lot of them standups and he is helping others get into the sport , this is the way it is supposed to work.

I am going to have to say over the years I have done my part especially on the 300SX end of the spectrum, that little ski that everyone here said would never work has sparked a firestorm of builds all across the country , also if you are riding a Seadoo HX and you were able to buy a new shock boot for it , yeah you are welcome ,me and Grumpy old guy made that one happen.

Funny story , Fox river PWC sent me a link the other day to an ad on Facebook for a Waveblaster ll in my area , it was Keith , who is one of the guys I referred to earlier , he buys and flips skis , I also bought a 3D from him a few years back and we trade back and forth all the time , the Jets ski world is a small , small world indeed .

I'm confused on how you have so many copies of waverace 64. Like actual N64 game cartridges or a PC version?

 

[WFO Speedracer]

I am going up later this week to help one of those guys out on a sunken Waverunner four banger , he has no oil extraction equipment , no clue what to do and the starter is dead , I am bringing a starter , a bunch of used oil to get the milkshake out and my oil extractor so he doesn't have to buy a bunch of equipment to do one job.

I am also going to help him set up an oil extractor like the one I have ,instead of him spending $300.00 on one you have to pump up , mine you plug it in , hit the switch and walk away and go do something else , all for under a hundred bucks .

The guy is willing to pay him a RIDICULOUS amount of money if we can save his engine. I am of course not working for free but I think this will benefit both of us in the long run., the ski also has a hole in the bottom so I may be getting a hull repair project out of the deal as well.

I kinda collect them. Me and my kids still play it.

It's probably the reason why I bought a superjet.

It's like gonna cost me 15 bucks probably to ship to 48 states.

Plus I'm gonna buy a SN soon and break stuff, might as well build some good will on the forums (2 stroke university class for free), and have a laugh.

You guy's don't play wave race 64 sitll? Wanna buy some N64's lol.

Also you won't catch me dead with a go pro, lol.

I only rented wave race 64 from blockbuster a few times. I was just a kid.

I had these games for PS2 which were actually pretty good.
