Racing.

a day in the life of a freestyler by yours truly:




show up

wait for everyone to admire the sick new wrap on your carbon hull, theyre jealous already, you can feel it

spend 20 minutes putting on newest jetpilot gear

top off the 1.5 gallon cart tank with 110 sonoco. only the best, you cant run pump gas when you go as hard as you do

spend 30 minutes checking out your own engine, grab every hose and wiggle it a few times, shake the sick laydown pipe, make sure its in place for the sick aerials youre about to do

spend another 30 minuted yabbering to ANYONE closeby about your billet 1200(which only the team riders get, youre on the TEAM), because you just KNOW they want to hear it

start it, let them hear it. they need to know how wicked your new waterbox is

back in the water

get it on the stand

spend 45 minutes annoying anyone walking with by your freestyle tips and tricks. YOU have all the knowledge about anything freestyle and they need to know that

start it, warm it up way more than enough by brapping it more than 18 times, just so everyone can hear it

finally put on the latest giro helmet, visor removed of course

idle out

spend 5 minutes kicking your feet into your footholds as hard as you can. if you dont do this, you are a poser. im serious, kick them harder. if they feel snug, remove them and do it again.

once locked in, give it a good couple braps, just enough for a cool 180.

repeat the 180 about 7 times

try a 360 and fail

ride in

put it on the stand

make sure you blow it out 19 times, just to make sure its clear. you CANT have any water in your sicknasty engine dawg

complain to everyone on the beach how there are no wakeboard boats out right now. if the wake boats were out you'd obviously be doing 540 flips

spend another 45 minutes telling everyone within earshot how sick your freestyle build is. they might not have heard you the first time

must be getting late, better go get the truck

back in, load the ski up

take off the gear. its probably worn out by now, time for new threads because you thrashed so hard today

spend another 35 minutes telling anyone still near you how sick your billet cylinder is

wait for them to compliment your sick freestyle masterpiece and your sick skills

then its time to go

head home

when you get home be sure to tell all your buds and wife that werent there how hard you went out there

then you think the ski mightve had a hesitation. better yard it apart and replace everything
inside.

might as well upgrade to the 1400 now. youve outgrown the 1200 anyways and you just gotta have it to do all the latest tricks

hopefully it will be done next season.

What you missed is: Monster Energy drinks and smoking Marlboro ultra lights when thy arrive and prepare. After the 15 minute ride portion there are copious amounts of Bud Lights drank and more Marlboro Ultra lights smoked.
 
I love it. Started last year when some friends bugged me to race. Then I went full retard.... skis off getting built for lites class and now saving for a second ski.

There is always a good number of guys on the line for vintage 750 mod for us. Fun class

Proper jet skis have 2 cyl! (Imho)

Had about 7 boats on the line at the race last year hopefully will have more offerings for the vintage open class this year.

freestyle is just one big competition to see who has the shortest pole

Always tried to improve my freestyle, but money made upgrades hard and lets face it, im on a 94 square in a lake with no wakes, freestyle does not exist. Then i started taking tips from Dave Davidson and running buoys, and love it! Never raced, but its great to see how the same ski can perform in two very different situations. I never carved or really hooked the ski up sideways before, and love every exhausting gasping for breath minute of it. Most of the time I make it a few laps and need to float off to the side for a few to catch my breath again!
