[Deadlego]

Hello To you all, Im new to Forum and Stand up skills. I have some time on the sit down but Wanted a stand up. Also any of you all Around Delware? Looking for people to go out with Ride as soon As I get my ski going :wiggle: Any way do you have any hints on using the ski and well how to going on it.

My advice, take things slow, get out whenever you can,and have fun. This isn't the sport you just jump into and start pulling backflips. Meet some people through the site here or come to Wavedaze or one of the other fall freerides and meet some people to ride with.

Prepare to spend some money... only other things I've seen more money sank into are Motor Homes and Boats.

Kawasaki SX650 Still working on getting running right and waiting on motor mounts. The ones in the ski broke yesterday when I was running it.....

Oh no that's so bad. Don't worry man just waiting and try to complete it quickly and then enjoy again with your great ride.

Im working on it. Just got look at the prop on it. It is a skat trak but it has play. rotation play, not forward or backward or side to side to best way to say is rotation. Is that Normal????? Or is a bad thing?

If its not f'd up it will tighten as you ride, it's reverse threaded. If it rattles you have issues! Either the driveshaft or the impeller has come apart. It should be tight and centered.

My best advise would be to learn to let your legs do as much work as your arms. The last thing you want to do is blow out your arms after a hard day's riding. If you learn to let your legs handle the shifting, leaning, tilting, and steering of the boat, you'll be just fine.

Thats cool Thanks for all Hints. :Banane13:

stay low...when you feel like your going to fall, give it more gas! Without you on it, it'll drive without falling over...don't muscle it with your arms.

Sounds like your pump bearings might be a little whooped. The prop on a 650 is normal thread, not reversed. Just wanted to correct that so you don't drive youtself nuts trying to get the prop off.
