How to Ride Seadoo Spark Trixx Properly for Beginners
Спорт
So we have been riding the 2020 Seadoo Spark Trixx for some time now and we have learned a lot since we have been riding this personal watercraft. We decided to make a beginners guide to help answer any questions that someone may have when first purchasing or using their spark or trixx. Hopefully this video is helpful and hit that sub button with the bell on.

yea this is a great little how-to for beginner riders, especially with the flipping and falling of the ski parts
If you put a 0:00 timestamp in the description it will add chapters to the video
Fantastic tip about the flipping method and direction.
Just took my two 2022 Spark Trixx out this past weekend for their maiden voyage. The most fun I've ever had on a PWC. Best PWC on the market for your money.

Hey, great video! I just ordered two of the 3up versions. Do you know if the extended area in the back is going to make it more difficult for wheelies and other tricks? Not looking to go all crazy, but I do wanna have fun. Thinking I may need to change one of them to the 2up.

The extended platform will definitely make it harder to wheelie. It’s possible but not as fun. You can always remove the extended platform and it’ll ride like a 2up
hey! what gloves do u use for jet skiing?
I got a Seadoo XP for Graduation back in 96 and had it about 2 summers and sold it. Well I haven't had a Seadoo or boat or anything since then and I'm looking to get something just to go riding with some coworkers who have a couple waverunners. I don't need alot of speed, mainly will be just me, or me and my wife, or me and my daughter so something for 2 people Max. Also will be in freshwater only. Would this be a good buy?
could you do a comparison with the sea doo vs a yamaha waverunner?
Where was this thing when I was a kid doing all this stuff on a bone stock SP lol
Love the vids man. Just had a quick question, will the ski naturally collect water inside and have to be drained if left out in rain? Or if left at a marina? I went to my marina today and my nose of the ski was wayyy too high I noticed and the back was sitting way too low. Took it out and drained her & now I Should be good to go, no?
@ShredShack

Did the rain water fill up the foot wells? You really shouldn’t have any water inside the hull. It all depends on how much water, was the jet ski submerged, and was it fresh or salt water. If it is a minor amount you should be fine but it’s a good amount of water I’d look into it further
My right hand always goes numb. What do you recommend I do to fix that?
Awesome video. Definitely great for beginners like myself. Any recommendations on a three up for two adults and a teenager (teenager is about 160lbs). Having two jet skis would be ideal but want to start off with one ski first. Thank you in advance

Great video, thank you! I plan on renting a Trixx in Ocean City MD next month and riding on the Bay. But one concern I have.... When the trim is way up and you’re doing wheelies, can you see what’s in front of you? Or do you have to look around the sides of the jet ski to get a view of what’s around you?

Been thinking about getting this jetski but it's so much lighter than I'm used to. Can you cruise on it well or is it too bouncy for that?
@ShredShack
3 жыл бұрын
You can definitely cruise on it but I would recommend getting the upgraded comfort seat. If you ride in choppy water, cruising may not be as ideal.
Thanks for the vid! I really want to get one for next season. I have never had a jetski and I think the Trixx would be a fantastic starter unit for me. (mid life crisis here lol). Question though - if possible can you do videos like this with a 3up model if you know anyone that has one. I need a 3up if I want to legally tow anyone for tubing etc in my area, but I am afraid the extra extended length will make some of this tricks and abilities a LOT harder to do. I cant really find much footage of the 3up going out there and having fun like you did. Just looking for your thoughts on that. Thanks!
@ShredShack

The 3 up does make a bit more difficult to do wavies and such as it does not come up as easy. I have seen people take the rear deck off the 3up, still has the 3 up seat, and it then performs similar to a 2 up. From what I heard, it is pretty easy to take the rear deck off if you want to have a 3up but experience the 2up riding.

The trim doesn’t matter that much on the pwc, just line it up, and give it steady power without too much that you end up into the dock haha

My first jet ski was a trixx 3up and it's nothing but a pain in the ass. If your a taller/bigger person, then you're going to feel like you're going to tip over all the time. It's also a pain in the ass to work on since you have to take the whole top off just to replace the spark plugs. I also think the 3up is false advertisement. Unless it's three very small children, there is no way to get two full grown adults without tipping over. I traded it in for a bigger GTX 170 and it's been much better.
