Super Jet Swapmeet's "Really?" RN build

[mydixiewrecked]

So will this thread continue?

 

[High Speed Industries]

This thread is awesome.


I hope it continues. Many people will be lost without it.

 

[SkiDiggity]

yeah i don't know where i would get my daily laughter in without reading this thread. So when is going to be the next update.. and why did they fill in under the bond rail on the front of the ski.??? i was really confused with that one.

 

[swapmeet]

Dude I have no clue. There wasn't even anything wrong underneath it that I can tell. It's like someone (god forbid I accuse mr brah) had excess resin and glass and said....




"Hurr buurr phlerburr! Lets put it right hurr durr durr hurr hurr blurr!"







:no:

 

[ProSouth]

i get the image in my head your talking like Madea...

 

[swapmeet]

It's more like those muppet characters. I'm think way to Caucasian to know who Madea is.



oh, the build continues, the thread continues. If I run out of stuff to b!tch about ill just buy some stuff from that guy who backflips chicks in bed.

:wave:

 

[ProSouth]

i know of it because they made fun of it on south park... its a tyler perry movie. so you nailed the caucasian part on the head

 

[MCrider]

Dude extra resin n glass in the nose..... Reinforcement! Now you don't have to worry about breaking the nose off doing a crazy nose stab!

Duhh

You did buy a hull sight unseen.......

Frickin' internet warriors.

a. Yes

a1. Clearly you haven't read the thread.


Warriors would imply battling... Or at least a argument or conversation. Until MrBrah posted this morning, this has been a build thread, a place for me to vent, and post gifs.....








Do not judge lest ye be judged yourself! (Not even sure that applies... I just wanted to say it.)

 

[Texan33]

I never said he was a rude, mean, or socially inept.
I never accused Mr Brah of personally performing the atrocities that have been committed against my ski.... I DID wish genital herpes of the eye upon whoever is responsible for ^^^^ some of the amazingly horrible work... but that's different.



Listen... there are a variety of factors at play. I'm dramatic... The drama is funny... and "the funny" kept me from truly having an issue with Mr Brah and the hull.... The ski provided great material for me to be dramatic about... I was aware that he didn't do the... dare I say 'work'...

But since Mr Brah wants to suddenly reveal himself... than fine. Total seriousness...

Never thought i'd use this gif in my thread....

If I had seen this hull in person I would have NEVER bought it. If he had described it accurately, I would have never bought it. If someone asked me if he was a good seller, I would say "Be real careful, cause this "super nice kid from Cali" (brah) will feign ignorance when he sells you a POS and claim he had no idea."




BTW...

Revealing yourself in the middle of the contest is an A+ USDA Choice 100% D-Brah move... Brah....

I guess you do win!!!!!!!

I seriously can't stop laughing......

Seriously............ I have never posted that much gif before.......... No wait............. Why am I still following this thread?



Oh, Yeah..... I know why..............


Thank you, Robin. This thread always makes my day.......




You know............... Robin

You kinda look like this dude.... Different hairdo and no goatee.... I can picture you making this facial expression........ lololololololol

 

[swapmeet]

Thanks Tyler... Lol....





And thanks SJ 701X for reading my thread (every time I check back he's viewing it!)

:kiss:








No homo....

I've followed it since it's inception. You have clearly been picking on aalamo throughout the whole thing, knowing full well that he was on here, and having childish banter such as a game to guess who it was. He was a 19 year old kid that was not the best experienced person when it came to ski's, he bought something that he thought was good, and then you wanted to buy it so he sold it to you. You have not denounced any of this, only replied back with stuff referencing the ignorance of the resin underneath the lip. Seeing as aalamo was not very experienced to skis' did it ever occur to you that maybe he thought it was part of the hull? Besides he only rode it for 45 min before it got ed up. so he probably touched the nose twice, maybe three times, and 2 out of those three times he was probably cursing because he stuck a piston. Don't go bashing on the guy because you bought a screwed up product. If you were really concerned about it you should have looked at it first, or at least gotten pictures. Was aalamo inexperienced, causing him to miss stuff that most experienced riders and wrenchers would notice? Yes he was. Should you bash him for this, or should you make it a learning experience for both of you? That's your decision. These Boards are what turn people off from this sport. It's always the good 'ol boys club, and any newbs are idiots and should be seen and not heard until they have 20+ years experience and can put an engine together, blindfolded, with two hands tied behind their back. From other boards that I have been on that have to deal with snowmobiles, boats, atv's and dirt bikes, boards that deal with pwc's are the most inflammatory. No idea why, but to the newcomer, it's not welcoming. You should think about that when you want the life of your sport to continue.

And I thought I was dramatic............





I like how people like you suddenly come out of the wood work on Page 50 of a build thread. Until the glass in the nose thing I hadn't said anything about Anthony Alamo for pages and pages and pages....

I announced the stupid contest (that failed...) and where were you then?
If you, or anyone thought I should give him a break why didn't you PM me or speak up before? The only person I recall suggesting a more passive approach is Wanderer... and I respect him for that a great deal.


I know the kind of people you're referring to, the scene killers, thread killers, that push away new people... "mock newbs" etc.... but maybe instead of judging me for what I post in this thread, maybe you should look through some of my other posts. I try and help as many people as I can, especially newcomers.... If I have information or experience on a subject I post up when I can, cause i know the sinking feeling when you post a thread about your ski running funny and NOBODY replies. Its like being on a lonely island, but there are people all around with life boats but they don't help.

While it may be a little conceded, I laugh a little inside when I think that if someone sees that I posted, they may click on the thread to see if I posted a funny gif.... call me arrogant, but I if it gets more exposure to someones problem than its worth it.

Seriously... look through my post history.... I have nothing to hide...


And while your at it... I kindly invite you to leave, and have sex with yourself.

You may post great advice, but that isn't stickied in a section. And in response to fondling myself, yet another sign of childish banter. And it's conceited....

 

[swapmeet]

Not responsible for the sticky. PM a mod.

 

[MCrider]

Lol if the mods thought it was "wrong" of Mr. Swapmeet to bash Mr. Brah they wouldn't have stickied his thread. I think he took a high road not outing him asap as a bad guy. Instead he took it on the chin and turned his frown upsidedown and made a funny thread that's not about how much money he has and how nice his parts are. Don't get me wrong it's nice to drool over builds like that but builds like these motivate me to keep at it and finish the never ending battle against an evil devil ski.

Man, your reading way to much into this thread. He has not gone off on this kid. He has for the most part tried to not name him. He could have left negative feedback. It is hard to go to Calif from Texas just to look at a hull. Just like I did not expect him to come to Alabama to look at a hull that I had for sale for my little brother. What you do is give an accurate discription of the hull and provide pics of any questionable areas. I sent him pica from all over and tried to describe everything. But he found this ski and thought he was getting more for his buck.

 

[swapmeet]

BTW... ^^^^ Post 1000 ladies (lol yeah right) and gentlemen.

And as concerning BK's comment....

And to everyone who's cheered me on, poked fun at me, posted good gifs, participated in the only working contest and had the tenacity to just keep up with this never ending thread.........

 

[Vumad]

I hope what everyone walks away from the last 4 or so pages is about responsible buying and selling used parts through this forum.

I will use myself as an example...

From day one of selling my parts through this site, I have always gone by the following...

I include multiple pictures of items. If I measure something, I sent a picture with the ruler so it can be seen how and where I measured from. I explain the entire history of the item, how I obtained it, how much I used it, and anything I know about it. I also include specifics about what I think I should know but do not know (such as wear on the edge of a loose prop I've never used.) I never give my payment info before I have sent my closing email. My closing email always... Includes everything I said I knew, everything I claimed to not know, a disclaimer that the item is as is and will not be returned, and a very clear *do not pay if you have any questions or concerns* that I am not a pro and I can make no guarentees.

While aalamo probably should have noticed many of these problems, swap should have asked for more pictures. The nose for example was not painted, so it would have easily been identified in clear pictures of the underside of the hull. Aalamo should have seen it, swap should have asked. They both missed it. (There's no way any of use would believe he looked at that and though of was stock)

Aalamo probably made mistakes due to inexperience, but probably could have been more diligent in providing info to swap. Swap probably should have not been so excited for a "good deal" on a hull and investigated further.

Im not taking sides. I want to be clear of that. Both sides messed up on this deal to some extent and they have to own that. There is a lesson to be learned here about the diligence of buying and selling by this method.
