Saw this video on a off-road page on face book. While it does pertain mostly to ATV/ORV'S they do throw jetskis in too. It's kind of a long video, but worth the watch.

And hardly any mention of two stroke outboards. Users of those must be holier than us lowly jetskiiers.

Yea they want zero access other than human power.. :(


Here is what they have to say about Jet Ski's
http://www.stopthrillcraft.org/kind_jetskis.htm
One of the made up "facts" that stands out the most to me is this one from their site:
"Two-stroke engines run on a mixture of oil and gasoline, and discharge as much as one-third of this mixture unburned into the water. An average two-hour "thrill" ride on a PWC can dump between 3 and 4 gallons of gas and oil into the water. The California Air Resources Board also reported that a day’s ride on a 100 horsepower jet ski emits the same amount of smog-forming air pollution as driving 100,000 miles in a modern passenger car." :confused:​

I believe that same fake statistic was used by the EPA to get federal waterways like Lake Mohave, Mead, and Powell closed down to 2 strokes.

a 951 non direct injected sea doo run flat out will burn a lot of fuel in 2 hours. especially if towing a tuber..... but i wouldnt call that average.... and our gtx burnt about 1.5 gallons per hour.... so yeah math doesnt work on how it could dump 3 gallons unburnt n 2 hours but oh well. tree huggers are a special breed

"Thrillcraft" sounds like a term the Obama administration came up with, so I automatically felt nauseous when I first heard it.

Next we will be hearing about "Obama-thrill", a new policy which governs the extent to which the rich can have fun. Any excess budget those in the 1% tax bracket have for entertainment will be redistributed to those who aren't as fortunate to have ample entertainment. The newly founded entertainment enforcement agency will issue and monitor "Fun Offsets" to limit the rich's activities, "Fun Stamps" to the poor and/or Illegals and terrorists, and companies providing thrill services will be audited according to how the ownership leans politically. Of course, certain religious organizations shall be barred from providing any sort of "clean fun" because that may offend the free spirited of this world. "Clean fun" shall not be confused with the government subsidized "Green Fun". Those boring individuals who refuse to take part in "Obama-Thrill" will be taxed for not having fun and those funds shall be secretly sent to Syria to provide entertainment to terrorists in training in the form of prostitution and casinos. American soldiers shall be barred from using their meager salaries on entertainment because we absolutely cannot allow them live a more thrilling life than terrorists. "Obama-thrill" will be sold to the masses through promises that by these regulations, America will be providing free fun to all at the expense of only 7 of the super rich (Who of course will simply band together, move away from this corrupt hell hole, and buy their own damn country).

I can make up facts too...

Electonic devices used to view the anti-thrill craft video contribute to a large degregation to our enviornment. The energy used to view these files does not stop at thedevice. Large amounts of power are consumed creating the wireless networksand data exchange sources necessary to broadcast the video. A single viewing of this video consumes the same amount of energy required to power a ohv for one mile. With a current 2000 views and growing, this video will do more damage to yellowstone than a days use of a ohv. Additionally, the impacts of this video do not end at resource consumption. It impacts society as well. Viewing this video significanlty reduces the thinking capacity of the viewer by 83%.
