the skis ran on compressed air alone, the movie was shot in a marine reserve, so no 2 stroke allowed
When did footholds come out?

Mag's arent two stage :twak:
I know, I want one but all I can afford is a TBM... :17:
I did not know that. I suppose you are in the business and would know better than most people.

I was reading about air engines the other day. Based on what I read about efficiency, either those guys rode for about 2 minutes at a time or they weren't compressed air engines. The best currently technology is struggling to get a lightweight, purpose built, low hp commuter vehicle to go 30 miles. I'm not saying it's impossible, but at least doubtful. Idok, they use compressed air to move the pistons instead of combustion.

There are vein-type, piston, and turbine engines powered by compressed air. You just need something that converts the energy from the high pressure into kinetic energy.
Pneumatic tools are simple compressed air engines.

contact Mike Serlin, he may know since he worked at the Waterworld Show, it is different from the movies but he may have found out.

superjet 113, i used to own that ski in the mag shoot you showed, it had lifters in it. I also owned the following years roy ski and it had rectangle toe holds in it. So i'd say 96.
At the time all his stuff was built at wamiltons shop, he had some crazy secrets in those skis. (at the time) His boats in 95 and 95 are comparable to most peoples setups now.

So cool, this is an awesome thread.

Funny how a foot hold thread ends up about the waterworld skis. I tried to upload a scan of the splash article on the 550's, but I kept getting an error. I'll try again later.
The first footholds I saw were rick roys at virginia beach in 94. My buddy taught loyd burlew how to do a sub in 89 down at monster hole. :439:
