Does anyone else like letting their riding buddies try out your FX1 just to see them crash? I do it because its pretty funny to watch them get frustrated quick and spills are hilarious.

I've owned and riden most factory hulls out there and it is the most twitchy IMO
 
the fx1 is easy on you at mid throttle but once you grab a handfull its now a question of Left or Right as far as getting ejected off the ski. my girlfriend will set the pole down after going wide open cause she hasnt gotten used to it yet. but the fx1 makes for the best crashes for new riders haha.

Maybe I'll get it all the way around NEXT time....

That was one of my favorite parts about owning an FX1 (other than how awesome it was to toss it around).

I was at the beach years ago, there were two 550 riders at the launch. one fairly new to the sport and the other guy had a nice 550. I let them both ride my fx1, the inexperienced guy went about ten feet, came back and said no thanks. the experienced rider rode it for about ten minutes, came back and started asking me all about it, he was hooked.
 
Brandon your ski took me for a ride my first time i bet Jason was hysterical. i had ridden a ski maybe 5 times and jason let me try the b piped fx1 and i ate some wide open throttle crap haha. went for a long swim and then i realized that i needed an fx1.
 
You guys that have a bpipe. Are are using a sj mod chamber or fx-1 chamber. Got a stock fx-1 looking for more braaaap. If you use the mod factory pipe says they would never swap out to the sj mod chamber. Seeing how they discontined it I don't see many other options for a pipe
 
air millers has the fx b pipe. the mod chmaber works with a clearence dent, so does the limited sj chamber. i think its a limited chamber that is going in my fx1 but im having someone who knows what they are doing install it.

I dont have one at the moment well not one thats going. But I used to offer it to anyone that had not ridden one before. Just take the little one it will be fine. Every one thinks the little one is easier.

I love to let everyone that knows how to ride try my ski, it's pretty fun to watch people ride something with a bit of power...
