First you will have to get used to riding with your weight centered with the ski. Almost as if you could ride it with no handlebars.. If your weight is with the ski when you jump It makes it much easier to control how your movements effect the angle of the ski. As in, once you are in the air, if your weight is correct, you can just push forward a bit and visualize the nose catching the water. Lift the tray with your feet a bit.. mostly so you dont fall off when it goes under.
@dalerkid97 practice and focus on the weight thing and the diving will come easy.. Ive done a couple times a 'suicide dive' I think where I dove so steep it was practically half a front flip and I almost sunk the ski. filled it with water completely once.
im three years late but to sub a sitdown just pull it in reverse when your on plane. it wont hurt the jetski. its fun i did it and i broke of the front cover on mine lol.
im thinking about getting a stand up but idk if i should get a stand up or a three seater? im getting one just for fun, but u cant really pull on a stand up
if ur getting a ski just for urself to ride then i recomend a stand up i think they are much more fun than the big ski's but if ur into wakeboarding and stuff go ahead and get the big three seater
definitely a stand up. a sit down will only be fun for the first day, then you'll get bored and find your self doing donuts all day. but if you want to wakeboard just get a boat, its not worth it do do behind a jet ski. plus you can carry more chicks in a boat.
if you get a stand up, it will be hard at first but you will learn quickly and be able to do stuff like this and even barrel rolls with alot of practice.
oh, btw more than one dude on a sit down= sausage fest
as you go under the air intakes do let water in (alot of it actually) and starts to fill the engine bay up, thats why u cant stay under for ages because u will eventually sink ur ski and if water gets into the engine through the carbs then the engine is knackered. Freestylers have bilge pumps fitted inside their engine bay so wen they do underwater tricks the bilge pump can pump it out. and the ski comes back up because there is still some air left and the ski is kinda buoyent.
lol no probs, its happened to me before, my engine bay has filled up whilst i was doing lots of fountains, didnt have a bilge on and wen we took the hood off it was full =O luckily the water didnt go into the engine.
The hull isn't airtight, the motor has to have air to run, so there is a hole for air to go in the hull and a bilge pump to pump out water. The carb sits high enough not to suck in water.
well what kinda sucks with my XLT 800 is that its pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to do a 180 (only done it once or twice), the hull has way to much of a V, but on the original one i can do a 360, but it has no trim conrtol :(
now THAT was a submarine on a jetski, nice job, any idea how to do that on a sit down? i have 2 waverunners (the original 1988 Yamaha waverunner, and a 2006 Yamaha XLT 800)
I did this a bunch of years back on a three seater SeaDoo by putting it in neutral and gunning it while going ~30mph (been practicing with sub-ing it for a while, but had never gone all the way).
My grip didn't hold up and I got ripped off - key comes unplugged, power goes off, seadoo shoots up like a cork, and I end up underneath as it comes down on me.
You just need too much speed for it to be manageable, I think.
where the fuck is 0:08?

get a 3 seater, dude. you can pull and they can be way faster than a standup.

im always thinkin .... what about the air intake when you dive ?
supermotardmario 2 years ago
well, im not sure but i know that the hull is air tight when it go's under and you cant stay down because the air always brings you back up.

@mainship40 little late on this but to sub your sit down just throw it in reverse going about 30mph!! that should due it
