Jet-Ski Situation

Hey guys I have yet another question. We have a Sea-Doo Jetski its an RXP model kinda like this one http://www.sea-doo.com/en-US/watercraft/musclecraft/rxp/, and its not made for waking. Our problem is that we have to tie the chord at the bottom while the waking jet-skis have a pole, and when we try to do ollies or jumps the chord pulls us down lowering our chances of getting more air. Is there anykind of accesorry to fix this problem? thank you!

most none of us have wake editions.. you just got to get use to the rope being down there.. but believe me, you will.

the pole has absolutely nothing to do with being able to ollie, or much else for that matter. when you're on a boat going w2w it can factor in to the equation, but not on a ski. i assume when you say bottom you mean the little eye on the back right? i actually like this location better in my limited ski riding experiences. the pole, at least on the sea doo/honda i used to ride made the ski pull more noticeably. just ride as much as you can and work on your ollie. it will come. if you really want to change this there used to be towers for ski's. you could look for one or build one.

if you do have the extra cash to throw at it a sea-doo dealer can put them in for you no problem. not sure how much it cost though...id use the money on something else though man

KevTang, its not going to make much a difference behind a ski, like mojo said.. if you want to spend some extra cash seadoo will put on on in 15 min..
i have a wake edition and ilke the ski poll... one thing about it that sux = it changes the weight distribution of the ski .. example, you take a hard cut out with the rope on a ski poll the ski will wobble around, and if the driving doesnt know what they are doing it wont be a smooth pull..

other then that , i like the ski poll better, dont think becuase you have one you will get more "air".. work on that pop Smash
