A few questions, i ride on the back of and old viking, and there no tower, or pylon so the wires high, its just hooked to the back of the look that you pool a tube behind, will that affect my learnin to do tricks? and i was also wondering if anyone could tell me how to air the wake, and ollie, and any small trick that are good for beginers to learn.
thanks
dan

yea dan, a pylon or tower is a great thing to have, and it will help when you want to do thoes tricks above 5 feet or so......
however the big misconception is that pylons and towers MAKE you get higher, when in fact THEY DONT MAKE YOU GET HIGHER they just allow you to get higher by not having the rope tug down on you when you get up there
i have landed backrolls without a pylon, but i like it a lot better with one
get a pylon, its a good investment, and you can find some reasable priced ones at www.bigairpylons.com check that place out
we have one, and it was worth the money

there are plenty of tricks you can do w/out a tower or pylon. surface tricks, w2w jumps, 180s, 3s, 540s, even some inverts

o and this is a retarded question i think i no the answer to but, if i were to stick the canopy up do you think i could tie the rope to that or would it break the bestard ?
im assumin that would be a realy dumb idea but if it would work it would save me 300 bux.
