You'd think so, but the man clearly said "no" to that explanation.

Hmm not sure then.

I think its a fairly easy answer at 270 deg.

Yes it is a pretty easy answer, no to 90 degrees yes to 270,yep pretty easy :dunno:


As I have stated before Matt if it is not difficult you absolutely will not stop till you find a way to make it difficult.

 

[Matt_E]

I apologize, Terry.

I had no idea that "nosing in your backflips" (as I asked you) was a 'difficult' (as you put it) concept for you.

Sorry you are wrong there,I had a fuel tank crack about 5 minutes into the ride on the SX,so I put it back on the truck,the only problem with the X2 that day was the battery was not big enough to run both the bilge pump and the total loss,as I remember it I was the last one out riding that day on the X2.The next day I rode the SX with the fuel tank that I pulled out of the X2 that night.I never said I could roll a ski ,I in fact have never even tried to roll one,I really have no interest in it if the truth be known.

Damn, you really do not have a sense of humor.

Damn, you really do not have a sense of humor.

Sure I do,I laugh at all your posts lol

This thread isn't about the definition of a back flip, or whether ski or skills are more important. Go put your ski's on a scale, and quit yapping.

I am gonna call B.S. I have seen Terry Ride. Gil has a better shot.


As for the comments about Rider vs Ski. There is an invisible wall that no matter how good you are there are certain tricks that just cannot be done without the right equipment. I competed in 07 with a bone stock motor and carbs that were tuned for my ported motor. It ran like crap and I still rolled it. It is not power that gets you around, it is execution and momentum.

Malone, Stoyer, Bogart, Head, Havell, Parr, Ratti, Lenzi, Stone, Burgess, Gil, Brad/Josh Lustic are all riders that they can and will take under powered ski's and make them do things that we would like to do with our built ski's.

dayum!! your being hard on your little buddy. i seen the rolls

So it still weighs more than my SJ? Gotcha.

Yeah could be ,not only does it have the factory foam in it I filled the two large channels in the hood with pour foam and added an X2 steering backup plate and 15mm of carbon fiber to the hood where the steering bolts up at.But if I put the 5lb battery back in,and the 550 fuel tank back and it should be around 257lbs :slap:

 

[ATS_Aaron]

My ski: Wamilton's hull, no foam, AC pole, WDK Razor Hood, DASA billet big bore stroker, other stuff: 321 lbs

Aaron

new DASA carbon chamber for R&D manifold saved 6 pounds off my ski. Down to 315 now.

 

[WFO Speedracer]

I can't wait to post up the weight on the Thunderjet,that will be a hoot!

2003 sxr =420 1/4 thank of gas.
96 superjet aka O.F.hull 352 complete ready to ride full of gas.
96 blaster 383

 

[BruceSki]

2003 SJ- 350 with 1/4 tank of gas, water in bottom of hull and wet foam.


1990 SN-330ish with a couple gallons of fuel, dry foam.

both skis are reinforced with 17oz biax down the bondline, under the nose, and around footholds. the square has a lot of biax and foam on the smoothed out nose as well.

I got a smaller battery. Still has about 200cca so hopefully it will work ok. The goods news is that it is 5 lbs lighter than my old battery. That drops me to 310.

I might have a light weight water box on the way that will get me down to 307.
