Hey I am brand new to the forums. I am actually brand new to stand-up ski's. I grew up riding sit downs. Really enjoyed riding them but always had this fascination with the stand-up. They look like so much fun but unfortunately have never had the chance to get on one. Still to this day don't know a single person that owns one. Yeah it's sad. I really want to start getting into this hobby as I am bored with the other stuff I am doing. I have spent the past couple of days on here reading through just about every post I can. I have learned a lot already. I am considering buying an old ski that I can get and learn on. I want to learn how to get in an do all the repairs and mods on my own. I have never done any mechanical work on engines but I am extremely handy so I am hoping that I can learn how it all works and be able to pull the engine apart and fix things. I know it would be best to learn from someone else but at this moment it doesn't really seem like much of an option. I am probably going to be spending a lot of time researching and posting on here for all the questions that will be coming up as I am able to get into things. I am quite excited for all this and hope that I am able to get my first ski sooner rather than later but we'll have to see what the wife says about that.
