Mule
Come to Hawkfest and i ( or someone else ) will let your ride a hawk. I carry a shovel in my pack but have yet to use it to dig out my hawk. I have the shovel for survival purpose. When stuck on a hill I do not need help to get out, I have only been stuck on flat ground once, I still don't know how I did it but it happened, I was able to get going again by laying it on its side and spinning it 90 degrees standing it back up and ride away. I could never have gotten out of that situation by myself on a twoski.
As has been said before the hawk is not for everyone, it takes everyone some time to get the hang of it. I had one guy make it 50 feet fall over, stand it back up and was rippin it like he had been on it for a week. I had another guy make it 20 feet and flopped and would not even get back on to bring it back to me, I had to trudge through waist deep snow to retrieve it. Both were talented standup jetski riders. You just never know until you throw a leg over one and take it for a rip.
