Spray/Squirt in the tray

You can do that in public? Your g/f sounds like a keeper! :haha:

Definitely a keeper:biggthumpup:

Now if you turn left and lean the ski left (until the pump is just about to let loose) then unwieght your ski, throttle down (to pop the pump out of the water for just a flash) then you turn the bars the other way and gas it just as your pump hooks back up. Wooosh you can shoot water for 50' no problem and ride away without even slowing down much.

What do you mean "unweight" your ski? Do you lean forward as you throttle down to get the pump up ??

I tried this several times yesterday and I got nothing. I need some more explaining. I was just trying to go moderate speed and lean the ski over one and start to turn then crank the bars real hard the other way. nothing.

it just basiclly lifting your pump up out of the water and shooting a blast... Not complicated at all.... I do it when I'm surfriding... Go straight at the wave (usually a crappy whitewater mess) and turn a 180 spin into the wave and then rehook the pump and cock the bars and unweight the tray a bit and bam.... huge spray out the rear of the wave...

Knocked the wind plumb out of my son one time doing this, gotta be carefull it will hurt sometimes. I am just glad he didn't tell his momma on me LOL that would have been he!! to pay. He was still feeling it that evening but was like ah just crash hard today MOM no worries.

PS, if you go down riding in 615, you better get back on and riding quick cuz U fixin to get pumped if not PERIOD.

You can also just press really hard with one foot in the front of the tray while pushing down on the handpole. It will also pull the pump out of the water.

My buddy could do it that way on a SX 650 but him or I couldn't do it like that on a SJ without losing control or doing a 1/2 sub.. I'm sure it can be done that way too !

We have been doing that for years. Toby has the best aim I have seen, he can point and shoot with his eyes closed. When we used to ride in a local river, there was a metal chair about 6 ft up on a bluff that some bank fishermen used. We used to take turns trying to blast it around or knock it off. We got pretty good at hitting it and could smack it around pretty good. If you fall when riding with us you better be ready to receive the old pump wash punishment. Once you get the trick down you can have alot of fun with it..:sgrin:

sooo, anyone got even a little bit of video? I saw it once on a freeride vid, but i have no idea which one.

i have been trying this the last few times i went to the lake.

i get a sliding turn going right before the pump hooks up i crank the bars and give her a good brap and i get a little spray. maybe 10 feet right above the water. afterwards i usually fall or end up in a tail stand.

i would like to see some sequence pics or some vid of this.

A good way to practice on a lake (when traffic is low) is to ride about 30 feet out from the edge of a "no wake" zone with a lot of buoys and try to target them. The no wake zone at my lake has about 8 buoys spaced 100 feet apart.

I can't do this well, but I was practicing this week after reading this thread.

Don't slide !!! Just a quick lean/hop/whip the bars and brap ! The farther you lean the higher the spray ! Just go back and look at your pump.. check out what is going on when you lean right and turn left.. Once you see whats going on you can get it to work !

ok will try next time im out.

so its a hard right then a hard left and brap. :cheer:

ok fine.. a very easy way is this.. at the beach/lake edge waist deep in water.. stick your knee under your ski (left side)and lift the back end out by pulling the bars to you(like a racer would do with no holder) start it up and let it idle.. turn the bars to the right.. it will start squirting (give it a blip).. the more you lean the higher it will squirt ! then after you see whats going on it should be easy to do while riding..

great key board huh ??!?!?!?! lol I have to go back and ad all the missing letters after..

Sprayin peeps is great... especially in the surf....

Last weekend surf was weak at high tide. so we made a game.
Spray whoever goes up for trick.

2 points per hit....
5 if you knock them off.
10 if they loose the boat...

Ant on the boards... Pulverized me... I splated so many rolls.
and nearly knocked me off... What a blast.

Good Thread Butch !
