This thread reminds of people who love to watch car accidents and then end up dissapointed when no one dies. There is no doubt that there was a slower than planned start, some hiccups along the way and a bunch of people who are dissapointed that people are very happy with their purchases. It might not be the result that you perdicted but for goodness sakes, move on. We don't care if you wouldn't buy one!

Jon, We have people with PHD's in Dead Horse Beating............... I just wish Nick had not posted projected production dates. many do this........... And fail. It would be better to not promise dates and to also say up front. We may come across some issues and just ask to give us feedback and have some patients.

define "better"

Wasn't it better for Nicks wallet to build a preorder list of people that though they only had to wait a couple months. If they knew they were going to loose part of there riding season they might have bought from someone else. Nicks not to blame, the entire industry is like this. Haven't you herd of jetski time?

The only way you're not going to be given some bull chit "next week" response is if you buy used or order from JetManic.

Not trying to argue or bum out anyone with a krash I'm talking about 27.5% in tariffs and taxes to bring a ski into canada plus the 30% dollar exchange and shipping on top of that makes it crazy expenses to buy a new krash ski in Canada. You're just simply better off buying a used ski of higher quality for less money.

Honestly, I don't think anyone here cares that you won't buy a RTP.. However, I totally get taking advantage of the depreciation and not getting gouged on sale tax because you bought something from a private party instead of through a dealer... But it's not a good comparison. For example, if you bought a 3 year old Grand Sport Corvette I don't think you'd be able to convince someone who bought a brand new ZL1 camaro that there were better options. I doubt that person would care. Kind of like me. Pretend I bought the ZL1. I don't care about your Corvette or why you bought it vs a new ZL1. Do whatever you want. Go be happy. I don't care.
 
I wasnt asking anyone to care how I spend my money, just speaking for canadians so they know these skis end up costing you alot more than you originally plan on spending. At the 12k usd sure it sounds like a great deal but 12k quickly becomes 20k here and it's no longer a good deal for canadians when theres better options.

you cant and don't tune carbs for bottom end. the low circuit is either adjusted correct or it isn't. if you grab a handful, its adjusted properly or it needs tuning. yea, the head pipe can be tuned for max bottom end but head pipe screw adjustment doesn't give you monster bottom end instead of mid to top beast. a B pipe is not a race pipe and doesn't work like a dry pipe for mid to top power. i'm calling everybody out on their BS statements. low end pop LOL. close the bottom and mid screw and only open the top one and see if you get the bottom end you desire. if you don't, it aint never going to happen.
I got a chuckle out of that when i originally read it

Yeah yeah yeah. Buy a 25k turn key rickter from blowsion, import it and pay what? 40k? Or better yet, you can really support the sport to move it forward and buy a used rickter clone!

I am new to freestyle freeriding. I started on a spark last year, then I leanred about blasters. I bought a waveblaster just to see if could learn to sidemount a blaster before I buy a reaper.

I bought a reaper
It was a little late
it had one TINY issue

I have 2 weeks TOPS of riding left. and I DONT GIVE ONE F**K. This reaper is absolutly INSANE and smiling while ripping it through lake michigan has been worth ALL THE WAIT AND HEARTACHE. It was worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY and the power is completely insane. It is 100% stronger on the bottom end and top end then my 1100 blaster.

Worth every penny and I wish Krash nothing but success. And to add, probably the best customer service on the planet.

Good grief Lumberjack! And to think some Americans are giving Trump grief for threatening to use tariffs as a ploy to eliminate other countries' tariffs on American goods.

Anyone on a predator getting a lot of spray over the front on top end ?
Yes, I took the factory tubbies off, then cut the ride plate flush at the rear and then “D” cut it. It made the ski ride higher in the front, much looser, much better handling and cut the water in your face to almost nothing. The hull has more than enough built in tubbies without the extensions to be a great turning ski

I was thinking of doing exactly that to the ride plate but wasn’t sure if it would help
