I got to go on one yesterday in Lake Minntonka. The lake is horribly contaminated by nature, but that's okay cos I drank whiskey. Otherwise I would have freaked. I fell off 6 times, and took New York Mike with me a few times. Thank goodness for life vests! I don't know how to swim.
If you ever get a chance to ride one, they are a LOT of fun. Andre drove it too.IP: Logged |

Woooo!
I was lucky enough to get to spend a few weeks down in the Florida Keys playing with the new line of Polaris' a few years back. Saw porpuses and whales and a whole slew of other aquatic-type creatures, as well as drag racing across miles of water on jet skis.
Good times.IP: Logged |

Yes, I'm sure the porpoises and whales had a real fun time as well.
I hate those fucking things. They've ruined plenty of lakes that were formerly quiet, clean natural areas.
They're useless, pointless wastes of gas.

I figured someone would fuss. Oh well, zomzom, do you know that I don't know how to drive a car? So if I indulge, once in my 30 years, in a little recreational vehicle watersport for 30 minutes, I don't think that makes me a total jerkass.
The ride was not kind to my assbone though. Good thing I was pretty much airbourne the whole time, just hanging on to my friend's lifevest.IP: Logged |

I wasn't particulary referring to you, of course. You of course consume much less petroleum products than most people.
Mostly to the majority of clods that own those abominations, I see them on the way to my cabin driving 10-cylinder Ford Excursions with a big-ass trailer hauling 2-4 matching flourescent puke colored shit-skis.
And don't give me any arguments about driving a car or my motorcycle, I don't buzz around in circles for the useless selfish "pleasure" or "fun" of it, I drive to go places.IP: Logged |

Man you're letting me down. I thought it was all about looking good ! I look especially good tearing up the ocean on a jet ski drunk off my ass. I then like to scope out the cooter hanging out at the crab shack afterwords. You don't know what you're missing. Maybe you should check out Yes's "Save the Whale" off the most excellent "Tormato".

Zom you're sounding a little surly on this thread. Jet skis are a hoot, man. Lotsa fun. So what if they waste fuel, we all waste fuel. Should we sit around and be miserable? Wait, on the way to your cabin? Isn't more than one dwelling kind of a waste? Or is humanity somehow benefitting from your selfish hoarding of land and resources? Some starving porpoise in Lapland gonna have a better life when you use 10 gallons of petrol to motor your self-righteous ass up to your villa on a summer weekend? Jesus (that's hei-zeuss to you whitey) have a cigarette. Take a bath. RELAX! Aspirin...Vrroooom! IP: Logged |

Yeah, I'm selfish! And know what's a hoot as well? Throwing clean, natural rocks at the assholes whizzing around on their tiny boats.
I'm only concerned about these idiots ruining my fun. Like, fishing, swimming, snorkeling or canoeing. You know, the sort of thing that real men do in the out-of-doors.
And humanity is benefitting from me owning land by me not building a golf course or ATV funland on it. I don't feel all that guilty driving my 50 mpg Geo up there either.

Zom's right, those things are for tools. Although there's nothing wrong with using one once in a while. But, if you own one and use it a lot, please run yourself over. Your neighbors and the fishies will be much happier.IP: Logged |

You could ride a bike, or walk....or what? Does the pursuit of comfort and materiel not allow you enough time to walk? Your feet get a zillion miles to the gallon nature boy! And I think your cabin sucks, build a lean to, or a burrow. Do what real men do in the woods. Hiding in a box with electricity and plumbing...HA! How many trees were felled to run the power lines out to your wooded wonderland! How many chipmunks perished! What about your leaky septic tank....the roads you drive on....get a stick...walk, find yourself, eat raw fish!IP: Logged |

Your logic in this discussion is spurious, as you are simply taking my situation to an extreme that you know full well is not practical.
Also, you will not be invited to the compound.
And there is no plumbing, it was built over 40 years ago.
No trees in the area were felled to run electricity, that was done by the lumber companies for fine wood products.
No septic tank but I do have an ecologically sound gray-water system.IP: Logged |

In the mid 90's I owned a 1994 Sea-Doo SPI. They are a lot of fun and girls looked so hot at the beach every day. I spent that whole summer, when not working to pay for the damn thing, at White Bear Lake. They suck gas like mad and spit the exhaust right in the water. They are dangerous as hell and a nuisance to other boaters and fisherman. The fucking cops yelled at me at least one time per visit to the lake. So after one season I sold it and would never own one again. Not that I wouldn't rent one for a day or use them if I had the chance. Just not my own. IP: Logged |

They r fun. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. I wouldn't bother the fisherman or swimmers. It's legal and fun. Throwing rocks at them is not funny OR legal, and would tend to get someone hurt..usually the rock thrower. IP: Logged |

jetskis are just plain silly! Once when I wore my Oakleys and had a cool wetsuit I drove one and it was so superdooper awesome and then I pulled my friend on a innertube and then we got in a powerboat with a million horsepower motor it was so cool. we ran over all the boueys on the lake and it kicked ass. I myself much prefer fishin' on a nice quiet lake or river to watersnowmobiles.IP: Logged |

I tend to like things that are powered by gasoline. Cool old timey cars, motorcycles (of which I will be an owner soon), snowmobiles, four wheelers, pontoon boats where you can do some swimmin' and drinkin'. All that shit's fun. I hate huge SUV's and I've never driven a jet-ski.Oh yeah, when talking about things that are gas powered I can't forget to mention my dad's gasoline powered blender! That thing kicks ass, and kicks out some finely blended margaritas! IP: Logged |

What a joke! That junk is ment for the ocean, not excelcior bay.btw: I saw the new Hummer 2. Looks pretty cool! IP: Logged |

Man I used to take it to the St. Croix sometimes and just jump the waves and launch. My arms would be like rubber by the end of the day. And during this time I worked as a shipper in the distribution center so I was very physically fit.
