Wow, now you really were in my backyard. I know your not familiar with the area. But that first real big gray & rusted bridge you passed under before heading to the first set of locks. Well I could have just about thrown a rock from my house and hit you. It’s known to the locals as the “Green bridge” look it up when you have time. It takes you from New Orleans into Chalmette “Da Parish” my home town. We access the waterways from Bayou Bienvuew to head just about anywheres. Next time your in the area give me a shout. We will show y’all some great places to ride! Billy D
WOW. What an adventure. Riding in the Mississippi in such a small PWC is VERY dangerous. I have almost been swamped in a 24 Sea Ray Abeam the aquarium when some Eddy waves were there and hidden. No matter, still what an awesome adventure.
Will you ever come to NYC and ride around the Statue of Liberty and Ellis island? I can bring y’all around the whole city and up the Hudson or down the Delaware river.
Wayne Griffiths I would love to!!! I just don’t know about towing a ski or driving all the way over there. Lol. Maybe I will hit up a friend over there and he can let me use a ski. Or do you have an extra? Lol
Alvean Azurin I might be able to find a few extra skis. I’ll have to call around. But I only have two. Sorry. And I know my wife is gonna want to ride. Lol
Great video Alvean I watched and even commented on it several days ago but now it’s not even showing up that I even watched it. This new phone. I Phone 10 maxx changes the UA-cam format all the time
SureCanUSA To be honest I was a bit nervous but turns out I still had about 2 gallons in the tank when I filled it up the next day. So it’s awesome to know how far I can push the limit. 😂
Love watching your videos. I'm in Australia so it's interesting to see where you ride over there. Those Locks are interesting though, what are they for ? I have never seen them.
Leeanne Mason used for raising and lowering boats, ships and other watercraft between stretches of water of different levels on river and canal waterways.
Haha yall got unlucky with the pontoon bridge its normally always open and broken nice trip though I'd love to make the trip from that bridge to Houston
That looked like a fun ride. I was just in jean Lafitte visiting family. The marrero locks usually take awhile to get thru. I’m wondering, how often do you have to buy a new ski? And how many hours do you put on your skis? You must spend a fortune on maintenance.. lol
It’s called a push boat not a tug. Tugs are the ones that move around ships on to docks at a port. Push boats push barges hope to clears any gaps anyone would have ive been a Tankermen on boats now for 13 years here Beaumont Texas best job ever
I’ve been watching you vids for a few weeks and I was wondering if the see doo spark trixx 2020 is worth it. I’m saving up and really want one but don’t know if it’s worth it let me know 😄
Blinkz YT just depends on your riding style and personality. Some people don’t like the big skis bc they like whipping the shit out of smaller skis. If you are in to dirt bikes and MTB and stuff then you will like the Trixx but if your main concern is speed then the Trixx isn’t for you.
Alvean Azurin thanks for the info. I Live in Cape Coral Florida and have a 2019 GTX 300. I want to go from Fort Myers to Sarasota don’t know how much fuel I would need to bring with , thanks for the information it was great!
Mike Flynn Yamahas were using about the same mpg but my 19’ only has the 15.8 gallon not the 18 gallon like the Yamahas on this trip. The 20’ and up Seadoos now have the 18gallon tanks. This was one way.
Great video friend, I’ll be out on the water this weekend. I miss riding with you all.

WOW! I'm tired after 90 minutes. I'm 64 too and first machine so I'm not in your league. Love the map edit
Aaron Davis lol.... don’t say that, you probably could do the whole ride.

Billy Duplessis dang! I wish I would’ve known. It would’ve been great to ride with a local.
Alvean Azurin Yeah it sure would have been great to hookup with you guys as well. Next time for sure!

Alvean Azurin or it might be a world record to ride from Texas to NYC with a group of skis... lol
Wayne Griffiths 🤔maybe...... 😂...
Wayne Griffiths np.. NYC it’s on my jet ski ride bucket list. One day it will happen. Lol
Great video Alvean I watched and even commented on it several days ago but now it’s not even showing up that I even watched it. This new phone. I Phone 10 maxx changes the UA-cam format all the time
Stacy Reid that sucks... thank you for watching and commenting.
I never knew you could ride in your pwc in the Mississippi. Ive lived in the NO area for 26yrs and never seen people riding skis lol
iCool247 yes you can’t it was my first time.
Just upgraded to a 2020 GTI SE 170 from a Spark, it sure sucks up the gas but the ride is a million times better...I love it!,
chiptaker1099 it’s all about the SMILES 😆
Awesome video! Glad you make it.
SureCanUSA To be honest I was a bit nervous but turns out I still had about 2 gallons in the tank when I filled it up the next day. So it’s awesome to know how far I can push the limit. 😂
in one of your videos you should go to canyon lake it is beautiful and crystal clear water
Eduardo Zarraga I’m definitely going soon!
Great video. are the locks free to go through? And I wish I could be there too you guys look like your having a blast besides the sun burn lol
Tone Tone yes locks are free. Sun burn was just itchy. Lol
Excellent Video
Thank you for watching!
Dam it girl u xstream in my book u doing that long ass ride no much riders can keep up them video love them
Eduardo Salinas 😂.... aww thanks for watching my vids.
Great video! Just don't leave us unattended with your 300 ;)
Reliable Tuning of course not 😉

Great video footage and information you share .... what map app do you use? Thanks
Mike Alpe thank you. I use Relieve app.
Haha yall got unlucky with the pontoon bridge its normally always open and broken nice trip though I'd love to make the trip from that bridge to Houston
Pj Boudwin yeah it took forever.
How do you communicate with the locks to know when you can come in? Does somebody have a radio or do you call by cell on a clearly posted sign nearby?
That looked like a fun ride. I was just in jean Lafitte visiting family. The marrero locks usually take awhile to get thru. I’m wondering, how often do you have to buy a new ski? And how many hours do you put on your skis? You must spend a fortune on maintenance.. lol
Wayne Griffiths I wish I could change skis every year. Lol... jking... maintenance is not expensive when you do it yourself. 😉
What make/model headphones do you ride with?

Where are you from ?
Mohsin Rekhi Vlogs Houston, Texas
@@AlveanAzurin flying all the way from India to texas to come jetski with you if thats fine
Next time lower the tires so you can clear that bridge. Duh lol
Guillermo Ocho 😂😂😂🤦♀️
Your so awesome I wish I could afford a jet ski
Pulse Clan thank you... you will one day, just keep working hard. It is possible!
I thought the same and now years letter I was able to buy a 2020 rxtx 300....keep working hard and have patience
I’ve been watching you vids for a few weeks and I was wondering if the see doo spark trixx 2020 is worth it. I’m saving up and really want one but don’t know if it’s worth it let me know 😄

Alvean Azurin Ik thanks it’s gonna be my first ski and I don’t care about fast ness I just want to have fun ya know
I have a question is the gtx300 better or is the rxpx300 better?
Arai Amaro it’s a different HULL design. The GTX is more stable. RXP is more for racing but not as smooth.
Was wondering how much fuel your Gtx300 used for the 114 miles??
jeff sagorac 23.8 gallons
Alvean Azurin thanks for the info. I Live in Cape Coral Florida and have a 2019 GTX 300. I want to go from Fort Myers to Sarasota don’t know how much fuel I would need to bring with , thanks for the information it was great!
So what are the yamahas using for fuel for the same trip? and was the 114 miles round trip or oneway. ty
Mike Flynn Yamahas were using about the same mpg but my 19’ only has the 15.8 gallon not the 18 gallon like the Yamahas on this trip. The 20’ and up Seadoos now have the 18gallon tanks. This was one way.
@@AlveanAzurin about how fast were you guys running. want to buy a pwc but the milage has me worried,lol
I always ride with a hat on🤷🏻♂️ hahah
sunnice2 me too but seems that’s a question I get a lot.
Alvean Azurin I guess we have weird heads Alvean lol 😆
Be carful, seadoos trend to sink without previous warning.
Girl say the truth!! You have Velcro on your head. 😂
Mills2873 😂..... 🤫
Too funny lol
I hate weird water in my mouf. I don't mind wear a full face helmet.
