PWC Underground

I spent some time recently doing searches and going through many of the personal watercraft pages that are out there on the Internet. There is so much good information on the Internet that it can be, at times, mind-blowing. There are the PWC websites by manufacturers, distributors, gear manufacturers, Internet magazines, and hundreds of personal home pages. I have watched some of these personal home pages grow over the years to become a wealth of information for PWC enthusiasts. One such page is PWC Underground.

PWC Underground is an extremely user friendly and interactive website for PWC enthusiasts. Jetman, the webmaster for PWC Underground, invites everyone to contribute to the site. If you have a PWC event that you would like so share with everyone, you can post it directly on the interactive calendar. The information is actually submitted by the reader and is displayed real time. Jetman also relies on enthusiasts to submit club events and information on great places to ride. If you have a great PWC photo, there is an extensive gallery where you can share your photos and view photos which have been submitted by others. This information is submitted to Jetman via e:\mail and is posted on the appropriate page. The club events and places to ride are broken down into states which makes it convenient to find the information you are searching for.

PWC Underground also features discussions groups. These discussion groups are forums which are divided into different areas of interest – Tech Talk, Places to Ride, Racing, Tricks and Stunts, Legislative Issues and Club Events. The forums work as newsgroups or bulletin boards where people can ask questions and share ideas. If you are looking for a more immediate response, there is also a real time chat section where you can talk to other enthusiasts about a particular subject.

In additional to the usual information - news, model specifications and PWC related links - you can submit your nomination for Pond Scum. Jetman defines Pond Scum as those who abuse their power, take advantage of consumers and generally try to take the fun out of life. Ah yes... unfortunately we’ve all seen someone who gives our sport a black eye and this is your opportunity to let them and the world know about it. Needless to say, these nominations produce some heated discussions and it makes for very interesting reading.

Everybody likes the word free and there are some freebies to be had at PWC Underground. If you have something to sell or if you are looking for a used PWC or a particular part, you can place a free add in the classifieds section. Want to spruce up your desktop? You can download free PWC desktop theme files for your Windows PC. You can even get a free alias at PWC Underground. Jetman will fix you up with a new look for your e:\mail address. Simply send Jetman your first and second choice for a jetski.com e:\mail address and he will do the rest. Your address will look like "karen@jetki.com" but you will still receive your mail at your existing e:\mail service provider.
