Is it just me or is that pole down as far as it can go right there?
What, only freestyle guys can get carried away with big stupid handpole pads?

Hahaha, I knew that post would bring you out on this... lol
Well i broke like 5 of them back in the day(early 90's) when you had to earn your way to the WF and go to every race to get every single point you could.. I had a real bad accident with one too. You know i hate those poles BK, lol. Worst OEM pole ever made IMO. 650SX pole was bad too. I started racing on a 650SX in 1990, then onto 750SX, and SJ.
I now have a 08' blue SXR for buoy riding down at body beach, its all OEM and that was the first thing I had to replace again with a adjustable Xmetal pole. It started cracking down the sides and down by the bushings. My friend was the original owner and bought it new in 08' and he hardly rode it, so I know its total history.
You must of gotten the best one made and have the best finesse around the buoys to not get a single stress crack or split!

I was reading about your discussions over the competition use only on the superjet and I got bored so heres the deal. If its already been mentioned sorry lol.
Every superjet my wife sells whether it be financed, or paid for in cash has no issues getting registered. when my wife finishes up their paperwork every single person gets an IJSBA membership. The documents get filled out just like any other watercraft. MSO goes to the state its going and the people/bank in the state get the title. We deal with west coast stuff but it has never stopped anyone from getting their state registration and tabs. WA OR ID CA etc. My wifes work sells more superjets than anyone on the western half of the US. They are already selling out of 2017s faster than they come in. I wanna say it was in the realm of 50+ units just last summer. They snag up demos, new old 2014,15's from across the country. Old people, young people, anybody who wants one.

@Aquaholic your hood trick game be on point on that ski bruh
You must also post a fact, disappointment or hilarious remark about the ski. This helps tremendously.
Macc is rumored to be rocking a similar setup in 2017. The verdict is out on whether the ski still looks goofy on the track or if Macc can successfully de-goof it.
