Impeller, Pipe, rev limit disable/adjust, head

Ratty was doing one handed with that setup last year and landing back on the hull

 

[WaveDemon]

any change needed in the pole/steering?

 

[Matt_E]

Shorter pole supposedly makes it easier.

footholds and skill
PERIOD!!!!!!

don't let all these people tell you that you need all kinds of engine and BS.. it aint true...


this is not directed at anyone personally

BUT

I am getting real irritated w/ people never making the first step w/ these tricks.... I see guys go spend thousands and thousands of dollars just to build some awesome ski and never do anything....

be the guy w/ the POS that ****ing rips and everyone is wondering how you do it.... come on ****ers.... ok done ranting

You can roll anything off of a small wave. Power helps a lot as far as how clean the roll is......and I think is pretty essential for a water to water BR. I local rider rolled my 650 SJ last season but it took quite a bit of effort........and skill no doubt.

don't let all these people tell you that you need all kinds of engine and BS.. it aint true... Rob Pilus rolled my POS square w/ a basicly stock motor in it..

Ditto what Slut said............ in surf all you need is footholds and practice. Flatwater requires a little enhancement.

Too many young kids think it's all about the power....:261:

That is just an excuse not to do it IMO.

just getting ideas. I'm going to start riding my bro's square a lot more on the lake when I can't get out on the gulf. His ski seems to have all the essntials. pipe, prop, and footholds.

Thanks everyone.

If he has pipe, prop, footholds - you are equipped. Watch some vid, sack up, and hit it.

TRUE,TRUE,TRUE, Ive seen flat water barral roll done on a stock sj....its all about rider skill. there again not to start anthing but all these people are down on Lee Stone..."its all boat"... well fact is that little dude has skills.

From personal experience, I'd say it's best to ride & learn tricks with less power.
That way, you learn to depend on your personal technique, rather than power.

I would say throttle response is more important than gobbs of low end power. If the ski is responsive you should be able to pretty much do everything to some degree.

Its not possible to do a flatwater backflip without.......

PRACTICE. I believe skill comes from practice and persistance. Trying until you get it. Over and over and over and over . . . until . . .

I don't know what the number is but I bet I've tried at least 300 times maybe more. Every 10 or 20 tries I get a little glimpse of what to do change to get better.

I won't quit until I get it or die trying. And I'm gonna get it. :headbang:

It's one of your old ski that I'll be trying on... :headbang:

No promises It's just a time killer, I was just curious if I had the tools to do one.

Balls and Cl's always works for me!

Another mod that helps a bit it to modify the steerring nozzle so it turns quicker and sharper.

Oh yeah, and it helps if you go ride with somebody that can do them!
