What do people say about your ski?

For me it's always do they still make those? Or how fast does it go? Then they look at you like you're dumb when you say you don't know how fast it goes.

Just recently I rolled my stand outside and mixed up some heavy premix.. I blipped the throttle for a few seconds and let it come down to a choppy idle on my new top end.. I could hear the dry empty chamber crackle and Tinging exhaust notes resonating off the houses down the block.. it was a sound of beauty... I shut it down and watched a cloud of two stroke dissipate in a gentle spring breeze.. Then I hear it..." THANK YOU! "

Some guy with a 550 stopped to look at my girls superjet while i was unloading it. He asked if i had skis, i said yes, and he started walking to my trailer.
He asked "wtf kind of stand ups are they??". "OMG is that carbon like, painted on there or is it real?!?!"
Me, "Its real carbon, not paint."
Him, " OMG that has to be expensive, like how much was this?!" ...as he proceeded to try and pick up my circus and told his buddy to get the other end and feel how light it was.
I put that to an end...
 
On the days I only take the super chicken out, I like to talk with random stand up riders and say all the dumb stuff I've heard over the last twenty years, just to see what their response is.

"Don't you get worn out riding that thing?"

"Can you make it do a duck dive?"

"Is that a 550?" while standing in front of someone's superjet or SXR, "how fast does it go?" "That's it?" "I had an '85 550 that used to do at least 54"

"What year is that 550?" "huh?" "2001 superwhat?" "Don't church it up man, I know they stopped making those in the early '90s."


My favorite line though was a couple years ago from a kid sitting next to his mom on the dock, while i idled past on my stand up. "Look mom, they make little jet skis for kids"
