It's some kind of tech wood or deck wood... I got it out of wakeboard magazine, it's the same thing they use on the top of some of their sliders. _________________ http://www.dallaswakeboarding.com |

I would try to put something under it where you first hit it on the opposite side of the barrel to make sure it stays affloat equally on both sides and then tie ropes from each corner to some buckets filled with cement. Good luck and let us know how it went. peace out |

wakeNskate, I have a hunch that thing may just roll when you hit it if you aren't planning on anchoring front and back. _________________

we bolted on 4 dock cleats to each corner and then dropped some cinder blocks in the water with ropes attached so that we can easily adjust them as we rode. We also ended up doing what liquidrider said and put dock buoys underneath and each side to help balance it left and right when we hit it. _________________ http://www.dallaswakeboarding.com |

Ya thats awsome. Do you know if you have to have some kind of permit or something to just go and put one in the water at a lake or river? What did you guys do? _________________ Check out my wakeboarding video on my myspace!!! go to

I think (in TN anyways) that technically you're supposed to have numbers for any kickers / sliders, just like you have to have your boat registration numbers on the side. We just went out to the middle of nowhere on Center Hill Lake and put it in for the day. It's a pain to move but it's better than getting it tore up by TWRA _________________ http://www.dallaswakeboarding.com |

I total agree with him because that is a bit of a steep angle to hit _________________ When your in the air its feels as if your the only person on the planet.

make sure its floats with about 30cm of the it under water ( for safety) and you may have to tie a barrel on each side of it. _________________ i love lamp. Crikey |
