How to Ride Seadoo Spark Trixx Properly for Beginners
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июн 2024
- 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.

If you put a 0:00 timestamp in the description it will add chapters to the video
I work at a rental and this is really informative and all correct too everything you said is important and good stuff for beginners to know
yea this is a great little how-to for beginner riders, especially with the flipping and falling of the ski parts
Fantastic tip about the flipping method and direction.
great vid! I like that it teaches more about the spark trixx and especially the how to parts of doing different tricks, I want a spark trixx of my own now!
dont buy one.
@@sirfitz8125 y not
@@aidanguimond5552 They are tiny. and You will get use to the speed of that ski so quick youll be wanting a bigger one. Dont go under a 230hp supercharged as far as size. GTR, WAKE, GTX, RXPX, or RXTX. I have a 2020 GTR 230.
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.
just got a new 2023 its been sick!!
Really informative video for someone looking to purchase the Trixx. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video for beginners. Thank you
Good informative Video! thanks!!
Keep up the great work. Thanks for the vid. We’ve been enjoying our 2021 2 and 3 up
are you 2up and 3up both trixx editions? I am a rookie wanting to buy one for the first time. Is the 3up a lot harder to pull off tricks and stuff? I need a 3up to be legally able to tow people in my area, but I never see many people reviewing the 3ups in videos. Any comparison between your models is appreciated
@@scottyflamingo1413 trixx is for trixx since they are lighter. Sparks are super fun and good for begginers. Get sparks then work up to a trixx. Wait for the newer models
This was an super video, just got my spark but haven't had a chance to ride it yet due to winter!
Bring it down to south Texas I’ll break it in for you! 🤣
this is a awesome video with lots of valueable info . thank you verry much . happy new year
Same to you! glad the video was helpful!!
Some many great advice 🤙
Отличная инструкция! Сам с дочерью катаюсь на таком, адреналина куча👍. Успехов вам!(Эстония).
Gloves... Yes. Ive torn my hands up a lot on pwc's. Never really thought to buy a pair, but am looking fot a decent pair now. Good bit of advice.
Great video! Just bought a used trixx exactly like in your video. Going on my first ride in 2days so this video was perfect.
How much?
How is it
I just bought a 2 up. Nice video, good info. Thanks man…
Thanks dude, you’re going to have a blast
Sick vid and thanks for the shirt man 💯
Thanks dude, glad you got it 💯👍
Love it homie keep it up
Thanks dude!
Hey man. Time before text and it will bring the timestamp into the timeline bar unless you want to keep it in the description only, nice vid man your killing it!!
Great video!
Good tips! Thank you. I want one of these thinking of selling my car hahaha
Great vid
Thanks. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Dude.. great info
Great Video
Good tips man!
Thanks dude, I hope you’re enjoying that new jet ski
@@ShredShack oh brother it is a kick!
I think all us spark owners who ride hard have experienced the thumb cut haha, heals for a few days, cut it back open. I had a constant scab for a solid 4-5 months. I have nice gloves this season. Lol
So true. I started wearing gloves cause it just would not heal up.
Thanks for the video! Definitely need gloves for these because mine rips up my thumbs from how they have the bar rubber on either side. I usually bleed everytime from it rubbing so much haha
Where was this thing when I was a kid doing all this stuff on a bone stock SP lol
Your floating dock seems really nice, what is it and where can I get one ( in canada)?
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
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?
Hey when doing the 180s of of wakes do you have to have the trim up or down? I have a 2015 spark but it’s not a trixx and I can’t move my trim. But wanna start trying them of wakes
could you do a comparison with the sea doo vs a yamaha waverunner?
hey! what gloves do u use for jet skiing?
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?
You can see in front of you no problem, you're not moving very fast when doing a wheelie anyways, probably like 5-7 mph
Great! Thanks!
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?
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
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
gti 130 would work well as it is affordable and can fit three people and is affordable. Spark 3 up would be tough for three people
Its always harder for me to get back on weighting 260 but I'm gonna try some of these tricks to get back up better!
It’s great exercise and really fun
Just do what you can do
@@Secondadmendment lol it is an exercise for sure and super fun. But um 260 muscle and I can lift a lot but getting on the ski is one of the hardest for me for sure.
I'm same.. 260 but all flab.. lol I am looking to buy one for first time. I think I might need the 3up with extra weight ability so I dont swamp the thing trying to get back on it from the water. lol
@@scottyflamingo1413 Im 6'3 250 (mostly fat..). The step on the back does me NO good at all. I basically have to try to crawl up from the back of it. I look rediculous doing it... but it works fine and Im able to do it.
@@jeremybastible8339 thanks for the testimonial. I'm 250 as well (lost 10lbs lol), mostly fat but only 5'8". So more fat! Lol
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!
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.
@@ShredShack sweet. That's a great idea. However of course I cant have as much weight on there, but will at least be legal to have another person on there for towing people.
Yessirr
2up in my future....coming off the old days riding a stand up....this can be fun. Can it tow one person on a raft-float etc etc.
Yup it has enough power to tow. Probably the closest feeling to a stand up you'll get on a sit down pwc.
@@ShredShack thanks for the response....thinking go 3 seater for only 10 pound's more but get the extra space.
My right hand always goes numb. What do you recommend I do to fix that?
When I liked wave runner YAMAHA with price RM 43 ,000 and Sea Doo with price RM 87,503 . I liked all two of them when I having a job's .
I see that you have your on the Lilly pad. What’s the trick to get it up on there? Does it need to be trimmed up so no damage is done?
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
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?
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.
0:03 uuuuh you're so cool 🤣
Good information. To bad you don`t have someone that can video you in the different scenerios.
I have my friend but its hard to film on the water sometimes when their jet skis keep moving haha
What are the name of those docks you use at the marina and how much do they run?
They are hyrdo port dry docks. I’m not sure on cost because the marina owns them. It’s included in my dock fee for the season
They’re a lot, lots of different versions, new you should expect to pay around 1,500-2,000, could be cheaper or more expensive depending on model
Recommend a pair of gloves if you want to ride hard? First thing to recommend are a helmet, then gloves. ;)
Awesome vid but with the sucking up stones. If you do you will hear it so shut it off quickly and see if it falls out or if you can get it. Then start up. If only going half power just gun it and it shoots it out. Well at least that works for me.
Yup this, I do the same thing. Sometimes it comes out easily, some times not so much. When I switched where I rode mainly, I had less issues
I am thinking about buying a spark trixx but i live in norway so there is only like 3 weeks where the ocean is warm. So can you ride this without getting soaked?
You'll more than likely get wet, I'd recommend getting a wetsuit if the weather is cold there
Seadoo spark is a closed loop cooling no water intake, does it still matter which way to rotate it after flipping it?
Not entirely sure, but better safe than sorry
I thought I wanted a GTI seadoo, I think I want a trixx now
They both have there uses and moments, but I prefer the Trixx. However my wife prefers the GTI
How are you attaching your gopro to your body
Head strap attachment
Hey man I don’t know if you have a clue but yesterday I was pushing my jet ski out and it wouldn’t start open the battery area then it started to work got gas was driving a little bit probably for about 10 minutes then all of a sudden my jet ski does a long beep and says check engine and shuts off and doesn’t start I have a 2019 spark trixx with about 48 hours and I checked my oil and looked pretty clean
Is battery still good? Are the battery terminals tight? If you have Facebook I also suggest joining the seadoo spark riders group. You should still have a warranty though so if it is not simple reach out to your dealer. I hope it’s a simple fix, that really sucks dude
Shred Shack thanks man do you think I should charge my battery I tightened it and it still would show check engine
Hmmm if it turns on to show the check engine it may or may not be something else. I’m not too sure, sorry I couldn’t be much more help
Do you think its possible to do all this with only your right arm?
yeah, throttle is on the right so its possible, just have to switch hands to press neutral.
I have a seadoo 155 and thinking I want the rxpx 300 for power and pure speed also the turning is much better on them and I would trade my old one in or I could get a spark trixx as well as my 155 but then I’m missing out on the speed side of things
I love my trixx so I would always recommend it, but the rxpx is a whole different ball park and it looks like an epic machine. Tough decision for you to make
@@ShredShack Yh 😂
Are these reliable? How many hours can I expect to get if properly maintained?
Engine is reliable, running gear like driveshaft spindles, wear ring tend to need replacing
broke the wear ring this weekend lol
oooof, thats no fun
I want one lol
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.
Where you at? Its been weeks
We've been riding a little, but been super busy and the GTI is at the dealer getting worked on, working on some new content though
can you dive one?
How many km can I get out of 1 tank? Im 270lbs
I've never really mapped distance but I get like 5-6 hours of heavy riding on a full tank
what's the HP of the vehicle in the video?
the spark trixx is 90 hp
Just a notice. If you are jumping waves, doing wheelies, 180s, those are for fun. If you are doing stupid stuff like hand off the bars during a jump, handstands etc, those are for showing off. Showing off is uber dorky and makes you look like a tool.
I like no handers though. No footers always hurt me though. To each their own
Homie looks like a young Dana White on a jet ski.
Why does sea foo put such a large pump sticking out the back of the ski .
Yamaha propulsion pump is inside the vessel
It’s the ibr system for neutral and reverse
So anybody boarding the ski will think it’s ok to step on since it’s just hideously there !!!
i owned a spark trixx and it was a bad experience lmao i sold it the next day🤣
Why’d you sell it so fast?
@@ShredShack They are small, all plastic, and you can go that fast on them. I bought a 2020 GTR230

What life jacket is that
Obrien life jacket from Dick's Sporting Goods
7.9 gallons is roughly 30 litres, 60 Miles Per Hour is roughly 120 Kilometres Per Hour, and if you fall off a jet ski in the ocean pray there are no great white or tiger sharks waiting for jet skiers to fall off, Serious Face On! A 3+ meter great white or tiger shark can and do swim in waist deep water!
I’ve been in the water a lot, no sharks have bothered me yet 😬
@@ShredShack Surfers that have been mauled by sharks probably said that too.
Maybe you should stop watching movies and come back to real life?
@@hghgasdas6566 It was a joke dude, relax.
I dont trust a bald man ,seriously would you take advice from George Costanza?
😒😒
oww that hurts
.....sharks...
Or y’all could be real men and buy a standup jet ski
We may be getting one next year
i like this guys attitude
got both and both great fun
