im going to Vegas soon and im wondering if there are any cable parks around that area, or if not what cable park do you guys recommend thats open in November.

that being said, i have never ridden a cable park before, what should i expect compared to riding behind a boat?

Do all cable parks go in the same direction or only one direction? If so does that mean if you ride your regular stance your on one edge a lot more? How bad is it falling in terms of getting to shore and out of the way? I'm also curious.

Most cables go anti clockwise. The only exception to this that I know of is one in france. Still I live in England so don't know much about the American ones.

Due to the direction of the cable, it is an advantage if you ride right foot forward or can ride switch well.

In terms of falling off and getting to shore, it depends on the lake and where you fall off, as to how far you have to swim.

In terms of getting out of the way, people need to avoid you. Normally this is cool, but i have seen someone get run over by a kneeboarder Puppy Eyes

There are no cables close to Vegas. There are only a handful in the US with the closest being Kansas City.

Its pretty difficult to learn how to load the line and jump.. If i where you i would practice maybe something like a back roll. Sense there is no wake you will wanna try to load the line or maybe try a slider for the first time. This is what i found out. They a slipperier than what they look like, so dont lean back too much or you will be on your ass..

You speak of the clockwise cable in Tolouse, France.

I'm a regular footer too, but most place have toys both sides.

Kickers are fun too.

Depends on where you fall off round the lake, normally the 3rd corner is the furthest away.......you get good at corners real quick......
