Glad you guys are finding something to do,...looks like snowkite time down here. I could see using a winch for about a week, then i'd want to dangle Laughing

Way to charge it. Thumb's Up

With the grinch up in the parking lot, is it higher up so you get some elevation?

Where is the riding at? I just see pictures of people standing around! You guys get a chance to test that plastic as a sliding surface?

would you guys stop obsessing over the elevation already. Youtube wakeboard winch and tell me how many videos show their winch elevated.

last night was sick..

land-gap with 2 benches, wakeskate action, tons of shallow water...they had a big crane thing that was digging out or doing something... all I know is it gave us tons of knee-deep water.. the staduim lights in the lot were damn bright..!!

too busy riding for photos...there was only 4 of us and how do you operate a camera with beer in hand...? Wink

you can use your imagination on the up to flat land gap!!! stringer might have some of the first location for benches, pretty novice set-up first...but then we saw the light!!

winching at night is tough..... on the pilot... we will get it down soon..

I'm so obsessed over this elevation thing I can barely get any work done. Going to go kite now.

Stop obsessing over that elevation whosey whats it already. Laughing

(Forgive Monkey he just hasn't been to a cable park)

Funny thing is that there is this crane sitting in a barge just 50ft out - I would think a strategically placed pulley Twisted Evil

So when can somebody hook up with you guys. I would love to check this thing out and I would be more then willing to pony up a few bucks or beers to help contribute.

STICKS..

shoulda came last night..
No problem, next time you're in..

We are thinking maybe Sat. if we don't go to the coast to kite..
We need to finish the kicker still, but we can grab some picnic tables and with the benches I have and the up-ramp slider, we should be able to have a nice set-up.

ANyone have any of the fold-up picnic tables with plastic top...or veneer...?

STICKS · Since 10 Jun 2008 39 Posts Vancouver

I was too busy riding to take many pics.
There was a mini sand island a little ways off shore and when the tide came up it was low enough to set up the benches over it.
It was generally a shitty time and I didn't enjoy myself at all.
winching sucks
