It was too much power in a lightweight boat for me to handle conformably. Again I am not the most skilled rider in the world.
Agreed on the SXR PIG.

To answer the question.
Some help and don't get bashed, your helping why would you!
1- I didn't come on here and say I make the pipe you have to have, didn't say it will give you everything you need.
Didn't sales pitch the pipe in any way!
Asked for input!
I was told people wanted it and been bugged for last 5yrs to make more, or new one.
I asked for your input, to determin if the old pipe is worthy of reproduction or if a new pipe would be better choice!
Answers I got, basically questioned who I am and what I've done for this sport more then what would help the cause!
Who I am
1987- 2nd place amature freestyle at WF
1988-2nd place am freestyle WF
1989-1st place am freestyle WF
1989- 2nd place am freestyle national tour
1990-5th place national points freestyle pro
1991-4th place national points freestyle pro
1992- hot water tour second place points pro freestyle
I was know for doing risky tricks, 180 sub under log jump, no handed 180 nose stab, 180 hop over two ski's nose to nose.
Bunny hopping log jump long ways.
That doesn't make me anyone great.
Not many who build have played at national level and been competitive.
Was I great racer and feared competitor, by no means.
I raced and rode because I loved building what I was riding.
Pretty soon others wanted what I was riding.
So hobbie became job, job became my focus.
Superjett, when ijsba fixes there list and credits the right people you will eat your words.
Because there are far more
mistakes on that list you posted then just mine.
My problem with this forum.
I was just asking for input. Some of you spend 99% of your time attempting to discredit my accomplishments, when they where only mentioned to give you background.
Your not looking to sponsor me are you?
So then why critisize!
Everyone said this site had world class riders, that new the sport!
When majority of what I heard is world class bickering and keyboard jockeys that haven't a clew as to what they want, and in some cases what they should be looking for.
The sport is coming back in number of standup riders.
My comment was based on the average mantality of those involved.
Grow up!!
Put your keyboard badass on hold go out on water and prove what you are.
I offered pipe tests to anyone wanting to try.
Name a pipe company who offered that!
Offered two locations and the only replies I got was you need to do more and in these places.
No world class competitor is going to change his setup before big event!
They work on refining, those looking for change are those who have not figured out there setup yet!
Keep this at for front of your mind.
I was asked to build this for people in The sport.
People came to me wanting something I stopped making yrs ago and asked me to male more.
I came to you guys for industry input.
I got a rashion of crapp, questioned, herassed, and every attempt to discredit my past!
All for asking what you guys wanted!
So please remind me why I should try to make a new product for this mentality of people!
Or hang out in this forum!
What I see here is large number of Clark kents with a keyboard cape and big S on there Mouse pad!
For the few that backed me, I thank you and feel free to email me anytime!
TNT out!

there have been a few shady characters selling stuff on here in the past. can you blame anyone for wanting to make sure you are legit?
on the whole this site is full of helpful, talented people. in every crowd there is gonna be a few bad apples. so don't condemn the majority for that.
I know there are quite a few racers who would be plenty excited for some more pipes. and if you can make some that work for freestyle, freeride even better.
Lose the attitude and get to know a few people and you may see its not as bad as you make it out to be.

LOL.........
Welcome to the X. The only site (Yeah right) that specializes in running people off. You take someone with alot of knowledge, someone who wears his heart on his sleeve, someone who is always trying to help out his "fellow rider", And given time certain people of this site will say things, do things to the point that said person will get so fed up they will leave the sport completely. Oh, one bad deal, mistake, "Uh Oh" and your phucked......... You will be castrated by some of the members. Tim, these members do not make up the majority of this site, but they speak the loudest. Which unfortunately can leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. As one of the "Owners" of this site I wish I could tell you that it gets better, all I can actually say is either learn to ignore the asshats or say "This crap aint worth it". On the other hand, there are a bunch of good peeps here that could and would benifit from your knowledge. It is kinda like being a teacher (My wife is/was), if you reach one kid then it makes it worth it.....

Tim,
I, for one, would love to see another pipe builder in the market. And a pipe from YOU, designed specifically for freeride needs, would be awesome.
There are too many keyboard critics out there that tend to speak much too loudly and act as if they ARE the sport. What those keyboard critics need to remember is that there are many, many more people out there that watch, read and listen, but don't post or post only infrequently because of the childish antics of the few. If some of these keyboard critics would stop for one minute and think about what they're about to say, we might actually have more of the top riders and builders posting more often.
There are lots of people out here who are very interested in a new TNT pipe, so don't let the forum critics dissuade you from going forward with development plans.
JMHO

If you let ONE thread on an internet forum mess with your business then you have problems.
When you come and ask opinions you are going to get the good and bad......just deal with it and ignore the ones that you don't like....simple.
Attacking people for giving their opinion just makes the situation worse.:biggrin:

Tim just make 3 of your chambers and show up at some free rides (Daytona, Va., West coast......this year...next year...) and let everyone try them. They are not competitive events. Just 50-150 skis of every imaginable set up....kinda like heaven but with 2 strokes.
And everyone is much nicer in person...lol.
