Modded 89 JS 550 Tricks?

[nitrodude81r]

I have a 1989 Kawasaki Js 550 that has a Kerker exhaust, SS impeller, shaved heads, Ported and polished, Supertrapp waterbox, Bigger carb and performance intake with K&N airfilter. I was wondering what tricks I could do on this without putting footholds on. Also what are some good tricks to start with? Is a backflip or barrel roll possible on this ski? I ride on a small lake, so most of the time I have to make my own wake.

ahh yes, one of my favorite. I you to love trying to do them while going as fast as possible. As long as you're a little less than full throttle and have a bit of throttle left to give it, it never matters how fast you're going.

Aside from that, I think a flat water barrel roll and back flip is pretty much out of the question unless you can find a HUGE boat wake. Other basic tricks to master are doing subs, 180 nose stabs, hood tricks, bull dogs, tail stands, spinning tail stands, etc.
