flixmaster, sick! I feel like winch parks have potential to be an awesome new venue for wakeboarding

When you get back in town come to the shop and talk with Justin.

Do need lumber if anyone has a connection in the Texas area.

It is actually closer to you than me.. 45 minutes north of austin.. Yes wakeboarder.com/wakeskating.com only has one winch so far.

I bet some winch company will just send me a few once they see the park finished. Smile

That is awesome.

flixmaster, is it going to be something that you run officially like TSR? Or is it something that's more like "get a group and session this place for fun."?

flixmaster · Site Owner Joined: 30 Oct 2003 Posts: 7488

Nothing official. more like get with Ed or Justin and go play at the park..

It is actually going to be huge...but just more private... Smile

I am already trying to figure out if we can have a contest out there. I have done a few events in the past so I might use those contest dollars to have an event at this location. We worked with the grind series and the 6th street event the past few seasons and those are not going to happen this coming season so we might use that budget for something at our own location.

Ah, man, that was a sweet event. It's a bummer it's not happening. I'd roll out to an event like that in a heartbeat, and know tons of others would.

I think the official address will be belton.

Look how a little hole with water has brought all my local boys out! Smile

Can't wait to see more pics once you have them. Wish there was something like that around here, that I knew of.

Justin did not layout anything on a computer. I think we wrote it out on a scrap piece of paper.. Smile

We have a few other rails in the works. You can email justin at wakeboarder.com so he knows you are ready to help out.

wow, that's awesome. I definitely want to make a trip down there and hit that up. You should host an event.

Winching is seriously going to get huge, IMO. Winch parks can have the ability to give access to the sport like no other. Keep building, flixmaster, that is going to be seriously awesome.
