    I have been on an XP once before, but I just puttered around on it. This time I take one out and thrash it real good.

    I don’t know a lot about hull design either, wish I knew more but I do know that the x4 hull design is really fun. 👍

    Good video. I have been working on fixing up a 1995 xp I got from a co worker super cheap because he thought the engine was locked up. Really looking forward to trying it out.

    You should make a custom steering system for that thing. The uni ones are really sought after and they cost $600+. I remember thinking if the steering was angled more like the x2 it would be about perfect.

      Then just make him buy all the nice stuff haha. I guess my x2 came with umi steering. I think it's just about right. I think I'm going to make taller seat foam and call it good as far as the rider position on my x2.

    Who needs a spark trixx when you have an xp?

      @JoelArseneaultYouTube  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha... I've ridden a brand new spark trix in 2019. A dealer demo, and altho it was fun, I would rather have the XP. The Spark is very refined, quiet and just works ... but it all seems a little boring, to be honest. It's too easy. 🤷‍♂️
      Hoping you don't have a Spark and I've just hurt your feelings, lol.

      For sure. The XP is a great ski for anyone. It's pretty easy to ride, yet you can have a lot of fun on it and it will allow you to build confidence quickly.

    IS THAT A 720 or 800? does the 720 get boring?

    • @JoelArseneaultYouTube
      @JoelArseneaultYouTube  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's a 720. I think it gets boring on an open lake, but I think the 800 would as well. That's just me tho. If you're out with a group, it's a lot more fun, or if you have buoys or some sort of course.

      I’ve got a 720 it’s fun to go out a mess around for a bit and do a few laps around the lake. I’m also not much slower than my friends with 800s. I’d prefer to have a bigger ski as well such as a gtx/gti but I do love how I can toss around my xp. Nothing like the Yamaha 1800 4strokes I’m used to

      Mr Moonlight. Please do explain yourself, as I am a little confused by your words.
      First off. If you're going to make a claim that something is stupid, you should make an attempt at writing a complete and understandable sentence 😂. I'm just fucking with ya... I'm no linguist myself. Do you mean that my helmet is stupid or that all helmets are stupid.... or perhaps wearing a helmet on a Jet Ski is stupid?
      I wear a helmet mainly because it's a good place to mount a camera. I have used a head band thing but it moves around, makes noice and sometimes falls off.
      Also, I am quite comfortable wearing a helmet as I ride BMX and DH MTB and I always wear a helmet when biking. It also hides my stupid face and stupid hair so it's a good trade off.
