Those are very close to scuba diving booties I have. Rubber sole with Velcro straps for the top.

Those were awesome! I dug the shin guards too!
They need to be marketed again.

Does anyone else get back aches from riding their X4? Idk whether I ride too aggressively, or whether I'm just getting old, but I've noticed that every time I ride for an hour or more, the next day my whole body just SUCKS! Especially the lower back and sometimes knees and wrists. Is there anything I can do? Maybe strengthen a particular set of muscles?

Your not alone, rode my 96 xp yesterday for 2 hrs like I stole it and this morning I felt like I was 60 years old! lol I stood up the whole time hard riding and hitting boat wakes. Now the majority of my body is in pain/sore when I walk and im 18 years old. Im thinking I need to do some leg exercises and sit-ups, My back and legs are the main source of the soreness. I need to trade one of my XPs for a cruiser.

i'm 48 and if I hit chop or ride really hard my body definitely reminds me the next morning, lower back the most, my legs are a lot more resilient as long as I ride every weekend, if I take even a couple weeks off I'm pretty sore the next day.
Actually, a little yoga seems to help a little for the back, or a cold beer with your eggs.

I know the feeling brother! Tramadol's a hell of a drug.

For the longest time, I thought it was my mattress, but when my wife put about 30 min of seat time on the x4,she complained of the same back ache I've been having for years now. I want to find some core excercises. No way am O giving up riding this thing!

You younger guys are screwed when you hit your 40's. I'm 6'2" 230+ (prolly on the upper end of the 230) and 41 years old. Only exercise I get is when I'm working the arms eating breakfast, lunch and dinner and the legs get it by hauling my size 13 4E feet around all day. I'm like a fat guy in a little suit on an X4. If you want a work out, ride an HX. An 8 gallon tank will last you 2.5 to 3 hours of non-stop riding if that, but that alone will prep you good for riding an X4 all day.

That's gravity making it ride so low.

I'm 27 6' 3'' 265lbs this was my first summer with my 96 xp now that it runs. Can't say I have ever been more sore than the second day after riding the first few times I went out. Could barely get on if I fell off. Now after the summer of bashing around it doesn't really phase me and have learned how to hop back on no trouble!

Besides.. Nothing spells cool more than a side mount in the surf and quickly gunning it off a wave while you swing your leg over the seat. [emoji41]
