Wow, I forgot about the washougal. That thing can get raging in the winter though. Don't forget about lacamas lake either--its protected from the wind.

The winch has wheels, two cushy handles, and two angle slots for anchoring bars to be pounded into the ground.

Caus' thats how we are going to roll!!

Hey! The Washougal IS closer to home! Very Happy Seriously, though, the Washougal has some neat "Water Features" that I bet would be fun.

Got the motor running roughly last night. Brian's gonna fine tune the valve spacing today to get it purring like a LIGER! I think our odds are good at this point. No governor = mucho power!

Remember when you are "tuning" it...

when in doubt, use a bigger hammer.

What do you think about this spot - looks nice and protected easy access - think the slough will be toxic (could make it super legit - no falling)

Whatever you bum. All you do is ride these days. Why don't you come out and put some sweat into it Wink. Besides, it's gonna be totally worth it when it shoots lasers at the rider. Makes it more legit!

We know dude, that's why we're messing back. Anyway, hopefully we'll get a sweet rainy, hungover, cold session in on Sat to break this puppy in. Keep your fingers crossed.

Forest, you just bought yourself a winch off!!

I'm planning on fine tuning the engine this evening and having everything ready to go for an airport session on Saturday. I'll start a new thread is its going to happen.

Forest, how tall is that kicker in HR? 5'?

Bring it! To Hood River I mean. Would be sick to have everyone roll out here and we could have two grinches going, plus all of the features you guys are building.

The kicker is 5' I believe. What's the details on you guy's kicker?
